Well, I came into this thread - an obvious attempt at putting forth a suggestion to show respect and honor to a great President - and the whole thread denigrated into a debate on how headlights function.

This reminds me of the blonde who - while holding the key in her hand - thought she was locked out of her car because the battery in her "remote" was dead.

There were even snide remarks accusing the author of having an "older car"...a comment an elitist would thrive on.

Now, I have a 2000 vehicle, and a 2001 vehicle, and the lights DO NOT come on automatically, unless the outside lighting conditions are dim enough.

Now, if "headlight function" is going to override the point of offering respect and condolences, then do something else; drive with your flashers on, or put that little rear window flag you bought for 9/11 back on the car.

Take white shoe polish and write "God Bless President Reagan" across the back glass (not on the paint).

And those of you who thought this thread was about "headlight function", stop trying so hard to miss the point.

No good deed goes unpunished. :-]

But I'll turn the lights on Friday out of respect for Ronald Reagan.

Yes, the discussion did denigrate.

I can turn the lights on my 2002 anytime I want.

If you can't do the same, then pay your respect and honor this great man the best way you know how.

Thank you, I agree! It is about Reagan and honoring him!
