There’s a pretty big difference between the areas it sounds like you’ve been and where I was driving and live, which is in the Rockies, not on the plains. But regardless, I guess to each his own. I’d rather you not move here than join the hoards of people coming here because it’s trendy now.

Headlight alignment isn’t the whole problem though. If I’m driving at night and a car with projector headlights goes through a dip in the intersection in front of me, my eyeballs still explode no matter how correct their alignment is. The newest 15 billion lumen headlights are great if you’re the only one on the road…

True. I almost want to change it, does anyone here even recognize me by my current username?

I’m not saying Halogen is brighter than the other options, I just don’t think you need brighter to drive safely. The negatives with things like blinding other drivers and losing the rest of your night vision become too great.

You and I should really shut up about it to keep the secret, fools we are.

You’re not going to win many friends in this part of the country calling it “fly over.” I prefer to call it “place I love and can’t imagine leaving again.”

Okay I just checked and the CDOT website says:

Luckily we got stuck in Buffalo Wyoming, which it turns out is actually a pretty neat town. Everyone we talked to the whole time was super kind and helpful, and I wasn’t ever super concerned for our safety, just the time involved in the drive. As far as “getting stranded in bad weather” goes I give the experience a…

It’s probably time to update it again, haha.

God I fucking hope so. Over the last 10 years driving at night has become dramatically more difficult because glare from other cars has gotten so bad, and I know it’s not my eyes getting worse because when most pre-2010 cars pass me I’m fine. I’m also 26 so I don’t exactly have geezer eyes.

I actually feel the opposite. I have no issue driving with traditional headlights, the only issues I encounter are being blinded by other cars on the road with aircraft spotlights, and the incredible amount of glare that all of the LCD displays inside of modern cars produce.

I actually wasn’t aware of that rule change somehow, butts. I don’t live in Georgetown but I stop in all the time.

Man you sure know how to pick the time of year for this stuff. To put the weather into context, driving back from Montana to Denver after thanksgiving I got stuck in Wyoming for three days because almost every road in the state closed due to blowing snow, and it wasn’t much better in Colorado. Here’s a screenshot I…

You’re trying to make it sound like it’s normal to not know how to slice bread. That’s like boomers trying to make it sound like opening tabs in a browser is difficult.

I don’t even wish the car were any different, I just want it to have a different name.

I actually think this looks like a great car. I like everything about it except for the name, which I still hate. Anyone who knows about how brands usually try to manage their image knows that sticking the same name on more things dilutes the meaning of the name, same reason it’s stupid that there are now 17 flavors…

SheepShaver allows you to run OS 5 (I think?) through OS 9.0.4 emulated in a window on OS X. Sadly I’m not aware of any way to run OS X PowerPC applications in current operating systems.

It all depends on what you’re measuring and what you care about in a car. My Falcon might have less trunk and interior space than a similar length new car, but the visibility is dramatically better because of the low beltline and low trunk lid, and the large engine bay makes every task from changing sparkplugs to repla…

I mean haven’t American houses something like doubled in size over the last 50 years? They’re just built bigger and shittier than ever.

Old cars are generally pretty light. A 1960 Falcon weighs 2,300 lbs, combine the low weight with it’s narrow tires and you can push one for blocks.
