JH> I know this isn't really automotive but since my transition from Maryland   
   JH> to Massachusetts, I've noticed some interesting differences. Both states   
   JH> are equally expensive to live in but perhaps Maryland was not so bad   
   JH> after all. There is a local excise tax on cars here. I think it's like   
      
   There is only one state that is northeast of Maryland that has less government   
   and less taxes.  That is Delaware.  Sales tax is 0%.  It is worth the 40   
   minute drive up there for me when buying big items.

   The only thing on headlights that annoys me is the certain ones that get that   
   yellow haze and fog over.  I did find a really great kit for fixing that,   
   however.  3M has a kit that will basically grind off that layer and make them   
   sparkle and be clear again.     
      
   I did this to both our Durango and my daughter's old car.  Mine doesn't suffer   
   from this problem, thankfully.  My Monte Carlo headlights look as good as they   
   did when I bought it.   
      
   Not sure why some headlights do that, unless they are being made in China.
