Popular legend has it it's for grow lights, but honestly it's far more likely that the stock fog lights on those cars are easily smashed by rocks, and replacements are either expensive or impossible to come by (thus expensive), so a tidy eBay/Craigslist business could be made ripping serviceable ones out of cars for free and selling them online for a few hundred a pop.

A better trick is to learn the angle on your side view mirrors to reflect their own light back into their face. Then they can't blame anyone but themselves.

I had to do an oil change on a customer's POS Beetle (but I repeat myself  ), think it was an 02. As I was getting in, I went to close the door; the resistance from the little nub that holds the door at various angles was enough for me to rip the entire panel off.Naturally I got a chewing out from both customer and manager about how I needed to tone down my Hulk strength and quit damaging our valued customers' property. gently caress VAG interiors.

It's comically easy to put together an LED array far more powerful than any automotive foglight, with a spectrum far better suited to growing plants, all for less than $200, with parts all delivered to your door.

I think the inside is the worst thing about it. It took a little while to find one that wasn't a render, but here: e: actually no, the worst (best) thing is that it comes with its own quadcopter mounted inside the roof to "scout the road ahead".

I would drive the poo poo out of this thing. It looks like a car-meets-quad. I mean, I wouldn't pay for it, but if you put me in one, I would likely have a blast.

xzzy posted:Just think how massive your quads will get holding your feet up in the air for hours! No, no. Look how weird those pedals look. I think they're like bike pedals where you wear special shoes that clip in to the pedals so your feet just stay on them with no effort and you just have to push in when you want to move or stop. Of course this means that when you get to a red light you can't put your feet down and have to lean against the car in the next lane.
