I (barely) saw a guy who did this to his Nissan Leaf one night. I remain stunned that he didn't get very rear ended.

That’s an aim problem, not a brightness problem. Very bright headlights aren’t an issue if they’re aimed so they don’t blind other drivers, Pep Boys Specials to spice up that Ram 1500 Natural Male Enhancement Edition actually aren't that bright but are aimed directly at your eyes.

No, they were not. It also had DRLs, this was different. DRLs are only on the front, are often less powerful than even low beams - my current car just has them on the little LED accent lights, in fact - and, in the case of this specific car, did not dim the gauge lighting/turn on the rest of the dash lighting/turn on…

I just love that he went “you’re still giving me backtalk” like a dad mad his kid isn’t mowing the lawn.

Going all black is very apropos because Mitsubishi is a shadow of its former self.

4WD helps a lot, just because it’s not relying on the rear wheels. And it’s not like the prep is that hard, as a kid we would just look for something heavy and pointless in the garage and throw it back there. My dad never really cleaning the box out was a safety feature.

I once had a Toyota Matrix with secret automatic headlights. It wasn’t an advertised feature, it had no indications anywhere in the car that automatic headlights were installed. But sure enough, turn the car on at night (or drive down a heavily wooded street at dusk, they were really sensitive) and your headlights…

Honestly, given the sheer number of sideways modern Silverados I see after every major snowfall they still do need some weight back there.

You know, it's sad that with such a big lift he still can't get over his insecurities. 

This year, in a fit of procrastination, I didn't fit my snow tires until the first snowfall of the year. Driving my car both before and after lets me say with confidence that you have no idea what you're talking about to an almost dangerous degree.

Pickups are actually very bad in the snow if you don’t do a bit of prep - without plenty of weight in the box you’re going to be sideways at every corner at best.

Autonomous cars are going to be ten years away from being common until the heat death of the universe.

Nah I'm not dodging meth heads.

Apparently I woke up in crazytown because someone is suggesting Persona 4 is the weakest of 3/4/5.

“People stopped dying when we did this one thing directly related to why people were dying" sure sounds like causation.

In the first few months of ownership you will get some kind of damage. I don’t know if this is a superstition or a reflection of the fact that I live somewhere with both errant wildlife and nearly-blind old people in Buicks.

I actually knew someone who said you should never talk about selling your car where it can hear you, because then it will break because it’s upset.

Even if you cut your Merc into pieces (this is your last resort) it’s still easily worth that much since it looks very solid in a lot of places.

I believe I’ll ride around on a magical unicorn that shits rainbows and whose tears I can sell for $10,000 a pop.

This is especially concerning given that Teslas can’t see cars with flashing lights.
