I like the way that this thread lives on, despite a lack of feedback from the OP. /shrug

Speaking of the gauge cluster backlight. When your turn the illumination to the max, it's just as bright as if the headlights are off. And honestly, my friend does that and he says he likes it that way. I can't bear with the bright light. |

In the UK they drive in miles per hour, but when they stop for petrol, they buy it in litres. Sort of half "foreign". But each to their own.

Are you driving with just the day time running lights on and not the actual headlights? I Did this once when I first go the Yaris. Got pulled over by a statie! YIKES! Easy to do if you're not used to a car where the running lights are on. You will have no rear lights , however.

However, most people still convert those litres into gallons and calculate miles per gallon. When considering buying a car it's the miles per gallon that partly influence the purchase, not litres/kilometre! Yes, crazy and mixed up. |

I had two people flashing their headlights at me head on over a period of 2 months. It wasn't until I went to turn my brights on, that I'd noticed they'd been on the whole time. The little blue light on my panel wasn't lit to indicate the brights were on and it was always in that day/night crossover so I never even bothered checking or noticing. Not sure why the little blue light is out either!
I have noticed that a lot of motorcycles have flashing headlights. Is this just to make sure you know they're there? |

^^^^^ This.....and it happens even if you are on a one lane in each direction road and are going a bit over the limit. A couple of hours ago = the last time this happened to me. There was no place to pull over. I was going 50 in a 45 and the guy behind me flashed his lights. I maintained 50 MPH. I crossed a bridge into The Woodlands, passed a fire station, and then signaled slowed down to make a right hand turn. Right before the turn, the idiot behind me turned on his high beams and his driving lights .

OP: How about putting up a bumper sticker asking: "WHY ARE YOU FLASHING YOUR LIGHTS AT ME?"
Might encourage some folks to let you know further down the road...

. After the scenario from post #26, I thought...wouldn't it be fun to have a rolling red ticker display facing rearward through the hatch window that could display spoken text (think Dragon NaturallySpeaking, etc.).

.....and then a U.S. audience would translate Imperial gallons into U.S. gallons.

Just think. If we were all metric we would all be talking the same language. Would have to translate nothing.

That will happen right around the same time they start calling soccer "football".
