Headlights on in honor of RR?
I was just out running errands and I saw quite a few vehicles with the headlights on. I assume this was "for the Gipper". Anyone else noticed this?

Here's to busy AAA workers :toast:

Daytime running lamps they are called.

If there were a Lights on for the Gipper, I would have to remove the fuse from them so they would NOT be on.

6. Originally that was done to honor Dr.King
And the racists were upset about it at the time. I doubt that it is for Reagan as stated below they are probably standard running lights that come on most newer cars.
