Pretty cool when you're driving through cow country.



Ok, guys, new rule...

I can't enforce it AT ALL, of course, but let's try to avoid RealOem next time. It takes the fun out.
That is why I said I remember seeing it. I was wrong about the bumper but it was under the hood in plain view and not cover by anything. You do have to look for it when you open the hood.
