> Foolish trends like removing catalytic converters and running super loud exhausts for single digit horsepower gains or hooning on public roads don't do its image any favors.
And there is so much more.
One of my pet peeves was idiots lifting their trucks but doing nothing with their headlights or worse getting "brighter" headlights. It is possible to be stuck in traffic and be practically blinded by the truck behind you in your mirrors.
- vmladenov 2y agoThis kind of behavior is why I have no problem with manufacturers moving towards digital camera-based sideview mirrors. Plenty of experience being blinded especially at night, very grateful for the "flip up" trick on the rearview that cuts brightness.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoI like to adjust the side mirrors so that the excessive light from the car behind me is reflected back at them. Sometimes, they get the hint.
- consp 2y ago> "brighter" headlights Don't worry, the Chinese got this trend covered with the 1000000 lumen headlights (actually producing about 1000 which is far less than the normal 1500).
- 20after4 2y agoEven worse when they replace the lights with LEDs that are brighter than the sun and color balanced heavily into the blue area of the spectrum.
