I remember now why I came back here. The levels of dumbass are far far far lower here than they on the facebook page (please forgive my foul word there). I know it's been said before, I am sure others have ranted. Dude on cut springs thinking it's OK to ride like that. His best retort was: "I have seat belts, it'll be fine.", of course that came with his bad grammar and punctuation. If I had mod I would have deleted the said post myself. If there is one thing you guys here have taught me, it's to do the right thing. Don't be cheap, dumb and stupid. I try to share there, what I have learned here and it's like you just can't fix stupid. I usually don't vent much at all, but some things about that facebook drive me nuts!
There is a CD5 Tribute site, that is many times worse in some cases. A guy there had the purple HID kit in his car, and I told him he would hate it later. Of course prior to this I asked if that was the cam doing weird stuff (just to check and see more or less) or did he specifically pick that color. He proceeds to tell me he picked them because they looked cool.
I proceeded to tell him that that color can't be seen as well due to how the color spectrum works and how the human eye works, and that in bad conditions it's even worse. His retort to my statement was this: "I live in Cali so not much bad weather here.", I retorted with this: "I live in Florida, so I kinda know." (Mind you all I am paraphrasing here). I subtly explained that he should get at least the 4300K or the 6000K HID's so he can be safe about it, as I know from experience.
Sorry for being so long winded. I just worry about why some of these folks are on the road sometimes and why they are allowed to get away with such dumb shit all the time. I am off my soap box now and need to head to bed. Take care.
