I take her to meet friends' dogs. She plays the shy girl at first but before the day is over she's humping them.
Then of course the ferret always likes to try and spring surprise buttsecks on the cat.

Bailey humps EVERYTHING. Usually Wes' leg. (Hrm, this could be why she's been so overly friendly to him lately....she just hasn't gotten any in a while....)

Just a note for the locals: I'm selling off my projectors in favor of the new ones. I don't know of anyone local that was considering projectors, but they'd have first dibs if interested.

They look better IMO. Plus, they have CCFL angel eyes instead of the LED rings. Bigger projector lens = more light.

+1 on hid's...I actually enjoy driving the car at night now 
The factory headlights weren't that great, mainly because they're aimed too low from having spacers in the springs when shipped over here. Brian, I'm not sure what the HID conversion kit for the OEM assemblies consists of for the cobalt, but after looking at the cobalt headlights, it doesn't look like they come with projector lenses from the factory (please correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, you might have a lot of glare at oncoming drivers, since there won't be a cut-off line for the beams like true HID systems have. I'm not really sure of the legality of putting an HID kit into a non-projector beam headlight casing either.
The only reason I went with them for my car is because they don't make silverstars in an H9 bulb size, I didn't want some crappy ebay bulbs, and PIAA bulbs are kinda expensive, so if I'm gonna spend that much, I might as well get an HID kit. Since I was in japan, I thought it would be cool to buy some car parts from over there too. The gto does in fact come with projector lenses, and while they're not a true hid projector lens, and just a halogen projector lens, the cut-off beam is good enough that HID conversion kits happen to work great.
I'm not trying to down play the SS in any way, I just wanted to give you some things to consider. I haven't really searched on this site to see if conversion kits work well with the cobalt headlights, maybe you'll be fine
Sorry for the long post, but I haven't been on here in a while

Well, my computer is alive again... at least it is right now. No idea what happened... got the blue screen of death one day for no apparent reason and just got done re-installing Windows. I hate these things.
Anyway... hi.
