    Not really the horses I hate, wouldn't own a hay burner but it's mostly the owners that are annoying. You know the "caution show horses" crowed. Friends that work for grain elevators always have stories about how they wouldn't buy a certain bag of feed because it didn't have a pic of a horse on the bag. ALWAYS complained about everything, would almost lose their houses buying trucks/trailers to be fancier than the other guy. But they have no idea everyone is laughing at them in their cowboy hats.:biggrin_2559:

    Sort of, only you can actually make money with a fancy semi, horses aren't even worth their weight in dog food/glue.

    Well, some of those people tend to take that kinda lifestyle very serious!!!

    LOL!!!!

    Why spend prolly more than that amount on them Mercedes or Beamers that didnt come with them rediculous headlight wipers???

    Besides, whether you want the "mickey mouse-ear" mirrors or not and have the choice to order them at the factory or can choose a truck at the dealer that has or dont have them, then whats there to worry about? It seems to me that if someone were to be that picky and anal about it, they would go to some pretty great lenghts to get them a truck that doesnt have them installed because like with the cascaidia for example, they dont just come with those fender mirrors as standard equipment. I see Cascadias all the time that either have them on each side, one side or none at all.

    Thing is, if you dont like'm and can only find a truck that has'em already installed, then either deal with it, take'm off or continue to look for one that doesnt have'm.

    Actually, i wanted to put those headlight wipers on my volvo, cause theyre so silly looking...but they cant be put on US style headlights,. i'd have to convert to EU headlights first....which i still may do!

    I never understood the purpose of headlight wipers...... Even in freezing temps with snow and ice, the heat from the bulb is sufficient enough to keep the accumulation of snow and ice off the lenses......

    i think its mostly for mud and so you dont have to wipe them off before you drive. plus they look funny and start conversations. i cant use them because i need glass headlights or itll screw my lenses up.
