The_Raven posted:I would love to start a public service campaign reminding people to turn off their "douche light", or rear fog light. Yeah I see it all the drat time, drives me crazy. I figure its mainly because rear fogs are relatively rare in the US, so most of the time people who have them don't even know they have them or that they are on. Not an excuse, but most likely what is happening.

Geoj posted:FWIW most cars sold in the US don't have real foglights anyways, they have auxiliary driving lights. A proper foglight is supposed to light the immediate area in front of the car with a low wedge of light intended to only illuminate the lane marker lines. Most "foglights" on cars in the US are just baby headlights mounted low on the car. Yeah the ones on my car are basically decoration.

I'd kill for a dash cam setup where the camera can be permanently installed without drawing attention. Think a tiny bullet cam, wired to some kind of control box out the way. It should also start and stop recording automatically when power as applied, and recycle storage as needed. Currently I just use my GoPro, but keeping it charged, mounting it every time I drive, and constantly wiping the memory keeps me from using it every time I drive.

Mooseykins posted:BlackVue is what you're after then, i believe it does all of those things. It's what i'm going to buy for my car, one for the front and one for the rear. Still kind of big. I'm thinking something like this, but not awful: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/FULL-HD-1080P-Portable-Surveillance-DVR-2-5-Inch-LCD-Button-Camera-Free-shipping/567103889.html

Geoj posted:Is blinker fluid really expensive where you guys live or something...? You joke but I actually find myself "rationing" blinker usage when not needed because I have to pull my front bumper to change the bulbs and it's a massive pain in the rear end.

Galler posted:If I'm going to be on my motorcycle for more than like 15 minutes I'll put in ear plugs (and really should for every ride) since I like my hearing in its current functional state. The earplugs mostly just block out the wind noise and actually make it easier to hear everything else. Also, like BraveUlysses mentioned, I'm probably going to get killed anyway so I might as well die comfortable*. Yep I always wear plugs when riding. I didn't for the first few years and hosed my hearing pretty badly. All it does it block the wind noise, you can still very much hear what is going on around you. Its like driving with the windows up vs down in a car. Of course there's no music blasting through the plugs though.

Crotch Fruit posted:Do new Ford Fusions not have a gas cap or something that requires a higher level of IQ to add fuel? I was at a very busy gas station, so I pulled in behind someone who had just parked at a pump. They got out of their car, opened the fuel door, and then just stared at it for a while. They opened their car door to say something to the passenger (I couldn't hear a word of their conversation) and the passenger got out of the car and went to stare at the fuel door. They poked and prodded it with their hands and the fuel filler for a while longer, the passenger got back in and the driver went into the station. A couple minutes later the driver came out, put the hose in and might have added fuel for about 10 seconds or so before giving up and driving off. I really want to know how that guy if ever got fuel. . . and how the hell did he ever pass a driving test??? http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/05/ford-easy-fill-isnt-always-easy/

dee eight posted:I use headlights off-on-off-on to tell somebody to turn their lights on. High beam flash is the signal for 'dim yours, butthead' or 'hazard ahead' I no exaggeration daily lay on the horn while passing people on the highway with all their lights off while I do off-on-off-on, to no result. MAYBE 5% of the time it works.

madeintaipei posted:Goddamn, saw a nice one in Tampa today. Clapped out white GMC box truck with Sharpie-d signs reading, "Cubano Empenadas-$2.00", tread on one wheel delaminating, bouncing up and down at ten miles per hour, with a solid "clunk" evey five feet. As I thought to myself, "Don't buy anything off that truck", I noticed the driveshaft smacking the pavement and then the frame, again and again. Guess that explained the sound! You missed out those things were guaranteed to be amazing.

Protocol7 posted:I know when I was in Philly once there were "Don't block the box" signs all throughout the city. Not sure of the efficacy of that effort though. Yeah I was gonna say we have those all over in Philly. It's Philly though, you do the math as to whether or not people pay attention to them lol.
