Darchangel posted:Fender vents. Why in the *gently caress* did fender vents have to creep onto a Jeep? Apparently they were added because, if you've ever driven a Wrangler before, driving at highway speeds it literally looks like the hood is going to tear itself off of the latches and fly away. The vents are there to add a bit more airflow to reduce that (although I'm not sure how much that would really effect it - they also just added stronger hood latches). Fender vents are also present on FJ40's and they look very awesome on those.

I'm happy to be corrected. Edit: This isn't the place for discussion, but is this something you should point out to the airline employees or TSA if the symbols are subtle or less commonly recognized?

Alighieri posted:Had a co-worker get an Infiniti QX35 or w/e the largest one is called. The dealer had to replace the entire transmission when the side mirrors stopped tilting down when shifting into reverse. Mind-boggling design both exterior looks and internal mechanical/electrical. Why would the mirrors tilt down when you shift into reverse anyway? I've never even heard of this.

Because all the Euro Premium brands have this as a coding option since the 90s and not having it while its entirely a software feature is pretty dumb. also lol at Infinity somehow tying that to a new automatic gearbox. The thruth is propably that they burried the reverse switch somehwere in the CVT and *just Nissan Things* dont offer any CVT repairs and instead throw out the entire Transmission.

Also, cars newer than that are significantly better built, safer, more reliable, more efficient and faster. So yeah.

Using my mom's truck once in a while with the back-up camera, and it really is a nice thing to have when you need every last inch to get into a tight parallel parking spot. At one point i want to rig the car up with a back-up camera that works with a dashcam.

I borrowed a mates van a couple of days to take some stuff to the recycling station, and it had neither a rear window or a backup camera. I also parallel park daily since my garage is full of motorcycles and assorted crap. So I dug out my horribly underused GoPro along with its suction cup mount and when it was time to park the van, I mounted the GoPro on the back door and used to live preview in the app as an ad hoc backup camera.

Anyone who lives in a place where parallel parking is normal loves dippy mirrors and every car should have them. I know everyone in AI is a pro that drifts their car perfectly into a parallel spot, but lol you can't see your wheel/curb through any car and if you have to parallel enough times and especially if you have low profile tires with rims that stick out past your tire, it's only a matter of time before you curb the poo poo out of your wheels.

The last dash cam that I installed was one that clipped over the rear view so it had a nice big screen. It also toggled between front and rear view just by swiping the screen. Definitely getting one like that for my next one. It wasn't even worth hooking it to the backup light wire.

It's kinda funny how tank-like cars with small windows make it necessary to have parking sensors and cameras, and those in term enable manufacturers to make cars more tank-like
