I feel ya Mat. I see the maintenance stuff in life as incentive to downsize to the point that you have time to do the stuff you actually want to do and only exactly what you need to be comfortable. I feel like a lot of stress in life comes from owning too much damned poo poo, all of which needs maintenance/attention. Don't stop flossing though.

I turn my headlights on every time I start my car, and haven't had to replace a headlight bulb in over 3 years thus far. This also gets you in the habit of trying to flick off lights in any car you're in when you turn it off, so you're less likely to leave them on in any car.

From what I've seen, it was normal for the headlight "brights" switch to be on the floor in 50s and 60s cars.

Just wait until we've got Google-guided cars. I predict a new golden age for motoring enthusiasts. People driving when they feel like driving and sleeping in their cars when they feel like sleeping rather than driving distracted/sleepy/drunk. Also, a lot more people banging in their cars. Unfortunately, many of us will be approaching the point of having "humans from Wall-E" physiques at that point, so the likelihood of seeing naked hot chicks will be lower than ever before. Sorry truckers.

Agreed, we'll see if #2 can keep that magic alive (probably not: their other movies pretty universally suck).

For some reason it never occurred to me that you could stick your lows in your highs and vice-versa. I figured they'd use different sizes to prevent people from screwing that up.

Convinced a friend not to put a cheap HID kit in his new Civic Si, and instead just go for some higher-output bulbs. You're welcome.

I hate watching stuff like that. Stupid people in a mob increases the stupidity exponentially.

In Philadelphia, "turning lane" is pretty liberally interpreted. That'd typically be a turning lane before it'd be a parking lane.

Well, not exactly "legitimate", but the PPA leaves you alone there. It's been that way forever, and it's sort of just a quirk of South Philly. There's a bunch of different theories as to what precipitated the beginning of the practice and when it started.

For me, getting into dashcams would be a slippery slope to having 4 fisheye cams (one for each side) and just way too much giving a poo poo about commute-driving when it can be stressful enough sometimes as it is. I figure eventually there'll be a nearly transparent solution that you clip onto the rim of your doors/hood/trunklid that you won't ever have to think about. That, or cars'll eventually just have them from the factory. That Blackvue looks awesome what with the shock sensor and parking monitoring.

kastein posted:Yeah, what sucks about phones is there's almost no room or budget for proper optics, so even if you have five thousand pixels in each direction, they're all blurry and look like someone stuck the lens in an rear end in a top hat full of vaseline.  the iPhones have always seemed to take pretty awesome pictures imo (except in low light like pretty much every camera).

Ozz81 posted:Bolding mine - if that were the case, in a perfect world, we wouldn't need all these precautions because well...people would be following the rules and being polite. Clearly it's not the case when loving clueless assholes disobey signs, lights and clearly marked crossings and get into stupid, preventable accidents daily. Yeah, the thing about this objective thing we like to refer to as "common sense" is that it has never existed, so it shouldn't be surprising to people when someone else does or fails to do something you would expect them to. It's part of being human that we're all stupid in different ways.

InitialDave posted:Other than the poor sod driving the train, and the even poorer sod on shovel/hosepipe duty, I can't really see an issue with allowing a sufficient level of stupidity to be lethal. What is "a sufficient level of stupidity" that is acceptable to be deserving of death, though? I suspect that we've all had moments of stupidity that could've gotten us killed and subsequently mocked for multiple pages in this thread (perhaps a fate worse than death  ).Edit: I know you were just being flippant, but I see a lot of this "bwah stupid people should die I'd never be like this bad stupid person" stuff and it's always a laugh because none of us are above lapses of brain-boiling idiocy.
