I don't understand why some of you are posting pictures of your car with the license plate visible. At least blur it out or something... it doesn't seem safe.
Should they hide or cover their license plate when driving too? What are they going to do with a license plate number? Never understood why people do that. What makes someone online that much more dangerous than the hundreds of people that see it on a daily basis in person?
I know this is probably not the best example, but if you watch any reality show or news cast, they always blur out the license plate on cars. I don't know what you could do with it, but I'm guessing someone's thought of something.
that's why i blurred mine
my bank has just called me to say that my mastercard has been blocked because some bastard managed to get my card details and went on a shopping spree on the net. luckily they spotted the fraud and issued me a credit.I'm assuming someone with the right resources could look it up and find out who you are and where you live. Or something to that extent. But honestly, try and steal my car. You can have it if you can get past the guard dogs, the barbed wire fence, the moat full of piranhas and the land mind field.

It's kind of funny, but I also have a land mine field. I just hate trying to mow the lawn when you don't know if you'll run over one or not!
The 2006 Hyundai Accent. I love driving something with decent gas milage. I can travel now without having to sell my left nut for gas money (like I nearly had to do when going anywhere in the Astro Van). It isn't the greatest looking car and not the fastest. But it was cheap and gets me where I want to go, and that is what a car is for.

If you really have to large dogs, then I can see where the mine field comes from.I'm assuming someone with the right resources could look it up and find out who you are and where you live.

car headlights question!
does anyone know how much money it would be to change from headlight bulbs on the left to headlight bulbs on the right?
ALSO, what is the name for the headlights on the right. i've heard like Zenon lights, White lights, Blue lights...what's the general name of these bright headlight bulbs?
whoever replies to this with a good answer i have a quick follow up question.
kthanksssssss
oh and i drive a 2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium, the color is silver. it's pretty sexy.

Those appear to be a factory replacement bulb similar to Sylvania Silverstars which will probably run you $25-$30 for a set. They do not look like a Xenon or HID system which require more then a simple bulb replacement. Those bulbs just change the color of the light, they're not actually any brighter.
yeah that's all i want, a change in color, i don't want to replace any wires or anything. if i used those, would i use them as well for my fog lights? i have a feeling with bright headlights and "yellow" fog lights it would look stupid, so it's all or nothing.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that at least here in the UK it is illegal to fit these super bright Xenon bulbs unless your car has headlamp washers.
Xenon lights are legal in the US, a lot of high end cars (land rover, bmw, lexus) have them standard..i'm not sure about the UK.
Nice! Purple Pearl Metallic. It's not very often that you see one in that color. When I was a kid, my Dad bought one brand new. A 1994 Z28. That was what got me into cars. I have a lot of fond memories of that car. We'd go drag race it just about every weekend.
That's awesome. yep it's my first car it's just a v6 (wish I could-of got a z28 but not a good first car for a 17 year old
) I've had it for about a year now and always wondered what the color was, thanks. So it's Purple Pearl Metallic, I always called it dark gray with purple metallic. lol

Yep, it's Purple Pearl Metallic. Only 5,801 made in 1994. That's including both base model Camaros and Z28s. It's a very rare color.
Your car looks to be in great condition from the pics.
Even though yours isn't a Z28, it's still a fun car, I'm sure. My friend has a black '94 V6 5 Speed and he loves it.
Take care of it!
Now your lights may look blue, but this is actually a tint on the bulb as well. This will decrease the brightness, and by a significant amount too! I mean, if you want to sacrifice safety for looks go right on ahead. And plus, that brand of bulbs has just about the shortest life spans on cars, compared to just about any other regular bulb.
Some members over at the Aurora forums say they get about 3 months out of a pair of the Silverstar bulbs. Crap, I have had my car for two years and I haven't had to change the bulbs once!
YMMV
