Colored lights are definitely a thing. I've seen green and red out there, too. At first it was people pretending to have bright white LEDs by adding blue tint, but now it's just it's own thing.

Imagined posted:What I've always wondered is why people always start with the wheels when they think about fixing up an old car. How many times have I seen an old car running around with rust and peeling paint and primered panels, all dinged up and poo poo, but with $900 wheels on it. Who is that supposed to impress? You can change the wheels at home using tools that come with the car.

Also the rear end in a top hat was trying to make a u turn instead of just turning around in a parking lot safely

Blowjob Overtime posted:As a bonus, in my experience at least, the areas where you have to be in the intersection and turn after it is red are also the areas where people are much more willing to enter the intersection going straight after the light has turned red. Love the thrill of wondering whether oncoming traffic will stop for a red light to let me complete the turn. Living the in the suburbs makes you into an rear end in a top hat. The built environment encourages anti-social behavior.

New car announcements are done in special exclusive events now. So your target audience is largely people who live close to the show, can afford a new car, and want to cross-shop the different brands (instead of doing research online).

Olympic Mathlete posted:The more you look the worse it gets. And it's important to remember that both of these have had absolutely minimal batterings. One drove through mud one time. Are those headrests not adjustable? I guess "adjusting the headrest" is a function that customers aren't using very often so it was cut?

Darchangel posted:y. I think you're right that it's disallowed, but not for the reason you stated. CFR Title 49 Section 571.108 S5.4 Equipment combinations (a) No high-mounted stop lamp shall be combined with any other lamp or reflective device, other than with a cargo lamp. So it's not allowed because the high mounted centerline stop light is also part of the running light Speleothing fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Oct 30, 2023 |

When I was in college we used to run an extension cord to a boom box in the back of a uhaul, throw an all night rager dance party bouncing 20 people on the sprins, then sweep the trash out the back into a waiting bin, and return it in the morning.
