Seriously though superstition is stupid and that's an awesome looking car. Hope they did actually fix the problems.

Normally I'd agree, but have you seen this guy's car history?

I can always tell when cars behind me have LED headlights or surrounds. My mirror vibrates a shitload up and down at speed. Haologens and HIDs just get stretched into a vertical smear of light in the reflection, but because the LEDs pulse it creates kinds of a Knight Rider effect with the lights sweeping smoothly up and down the front of the car at varying speeds.

It's pretty neat seeing wagon wheel/camera shutter effects with the naked eye. :v:

Not getting too detailed I'm pretty sure it's the LED tail lamps getting wonky with the frames per second DV was recording, but I have seen the strobe tail lights for cars that blink two or three times before solid red. Given most idiots on the road are too busy taking selfies I don't mind something trying to get their duck lipped face paying attention to what's going on in front of them.

To all of the motorcycle riders with the strobing headlights though? They need a dick kicking. I hate those things and wonder how they are even legal.

I came up behind a pedal bike with one of those on the rear one time (yes, white strobe light pointing backwards). It was nighttime and it blew my vision out so bad I could barely stay on the road.
