Many of us who have a military background have learned to distinguish between *threat* and *friendly* vehicles, aircraft, and watercraft. The Chevy with the four separate lights on each upper pillar was quickly referred to as *A SOW* Pig farmers would understand.

VW did a similar thing on the blue-grey vans with a silver stripe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Grebneff" <andrew.grebneff@STONEBOW.OTAGO.AC.NZ> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 1:51 AM Subject: Re: LED taillights WAS: Re: repost optional bulb sizes/wattages?
