Cinderblocks weigh in at about 28-lbs, about ten pounds less than a concrete block.

One could make the argument it makes the car more visible and thus safer. I’m not saying I agree with that, but I could see the argument being made. It doesn’t seem any more distractive than a flashing light on the roof. I’d be real careful incorporating any red or blue into that, though.

It looks cool as hell, for safety purposes it's a problem. Cars have standardized lighting colors and patterns for a reason. If you catch a glimpse of that car is it coming towards you, away from you, or parallel? I don't like adding confusion to what can be a split second decision in how to avoid a collision.

That's just going to make you blend into street lights for me. As for that car in question. Think of how that will look on a dark, rainy night with wet pavement reflecting the light. The side lights are going to be constantly washing out lane markers for anyone following behind. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Aug 17, 2021 |

I almost drove out in front of a SUV a while ago specifically because for some reason its side lights were on the inside of the headlights, either side of the grille. Which in the fog gave it the appearance of being much further away than it was. I'm surprised it's legal tbh.

Lol, I do know that sign… and it’s been 10 years since I’ve been to Cincinnati There are a few that are crazy bright. Plus it’s more of an electronic failure, but if you ever see one of those billboards bugged out, it can be quite an experience. Imagine a broken computer monitor cycling between flashing, solid colors, static etc, but that large. We saw one coming home one night and it was truly crazy and distracting. Surprised it didn’t cause a bunch of accidents (that we know of)

Turn the car around and use the charger on the other side LifeSunDeath posted:not a fail but like I'm sure people have mixed feelings on mods like this These are illegal in the UK, and I agree with their reasons. White lights are used on the front of vehicles, red at the rear, amber for turn signals, blue is reserved for emergency services. When you mix these up, it can become harder to distinguish the front vs the rear of a car ahead (is it stopped, which way is it facing, etc), it can create confusion if elements such as turn signals are used, it can be mistaken for emergency vehicles, etc. In this clip, traffic is light and visibility looks good, so sure it looks fine; but do it at night in heavy rain or with thick fog and you get an increased risk of incidents, with no benefit to other drivers. Where is the line drawn? Can we strobe these in blue, or white? What is the limit on intensity, etc? Sure they can look good on the car if that's the look you're going for, but not on the road. Also that's a BMW Z4 with a Toyota badge. An impostor of one of the coolest cars of the 90's. An abomination.

Valt posted:I think I put 200 cinderblocks (for a hog pit) in the back of my C10. It was uhhhhhh interesting, since it was essentially sitting on the bump stops in the back. Plus any big stops instantly cooked the drums so I barely had any brakes. I grew up in far west Texas. It's normally dry desert, but when it rains, it loving rains. The city would give out sandbags when it got particularly bad. I loaded up enough to block in my parents business (didn't do any good when the 80s/early 90s versions of brodozers blasted through), went back, and got enough for the house. No pics since it was, uh, 1995, but the bed of my 1980 F-150 was packed to the top of the camper shell with sandbags. The back was on the bumpstops, and it could barely move under its own power (351M, so a whopping 138 HP/263 ft lbs... about 200k before I got it). Headlights pointed at the sky, steering didn't really do much. Pigsfeet on Rye posted:From the OSHA thread, but it's more a FTFY
