Why do people drive around with parking lights on? They are for when your parked. Looks just as bad in pictures. Looks like your car is broke and can't aford to get it fixed.

I think that depending on the car, running lights and driving/foglights can look pretty badass.

In the T/A i run around all daywith the "parking" lights on with my fog lights. I think the T/A's look bad ass with just those on. Also to help you with your unability to know whats going on Almost all newer cars have the daytime running lights in the "parking" lights now days like mine can't turn em off. well i can jump relays and stuff and get them off but the average consumer is not even going to know about that. So in conclusion A) Its cool B)you should not be allowed to ask stupid questions and C)Almost all newer cars have daytime running lights that work off of the "parking" lights

My van's daytime running lights ARE the "parking lights" so I don't really have a choice.

I think they're so badass I'm getting a kit that makes my parking lights the DRLs instead of my headlights, since my car uses the headlights for the DRLSs (which are disbled for my HIDs anyway)

Although I think that your a douchebag, i will agree with you here. I do not see the point, either your lights are on or off........

Even though he is a douchebag I don't agree with him, I think it just looks pretty cool. Also you can ask whats the point of using your Fog light when there is no fog? Again I think it looks pretty cool :thumbsup

No, really, I think you need some sort of further education. You try to speak so eloquently and with "smarts", in all honesty, a goon like you should realize you NEED to understand what things mean before you can go using it.

Dinner with you sounds good. Where did you want to go? Maybe you can show up in your 300pony....You're buying though.:thumbsup

I personally believe you don't use your noodle enough. I was just in another thread and was reading some of your stupid comments on a carshow in Lomira and thought to myself "Where does he come up with this crap?"

Ever since you came to this site you have posted some pretty dumbass crap. You butchered my vehicle appraisal thread with your tomfoolery "I'm the only one that uses that term", and you took a dump on the Mexicans putting our flag on upside down below theirs'. I havent paid any attention to anything you have said since until I saw that moronic thread of yours about DRL/Parking lamps.

But fine, you're free to post whatever you want, too bad none of it has any relevance to anything important.

For something that is not serious, check out my thread in the media/videos forum, it is a fart spoof on Lord of the Rings. Now that is mindless, funny, and stupid all at the same time. You need to distinguish:thumbsup

I don't beleive I buchered you Car on the apraisal. Just was trying to make a point but its hard on a thread you can't hear tone of voice, expressions ect. Yes I have strong opinions when it comes to Civil liberties and was expressing them. I am a member of the ACLU and a Libertarian simply stating mine and many others beleifs. Not saying you need to agree once again posting a simply opinion thats different than yours. People like to slander opinions such as mine cause thats the easy way out. Saying someone is a dumbass, or Douchbag for having an opinion is an easy way out. More difficult to accually defend your beleif. Not that you don't defend yours but most around here rather just say "what a dumbass" which is fine too dosn't bother me. Sit down style, if you like italian Decarlo's on Oak Creek Rocks!!

Culvers, I rarely eat there just don't care for it.

Well, my car has the parking lights as the DRL's and I dont think its too big of a deal because it seems all the later GM cars have that.

What I dont understand, is when people have their FOG LIGHTS on during the day. :confused
Dan (judgethis) would drive around in his grand prix with his parking and fog lights on in the middle of a 85ยบ and sunny day. :rolf :confused
Im not sure if he still does this, but hopefully he'll chime in and explain. ;)

And as long as people are ranting about driving lights....

[Peter Griffin] You know what really grinds my gears,... when morons are on the freeway in the middle of a thunderstorm or snowstorm and don't realize that DRL's only apply to their HEADLIGHTS. People coming up behind them will still have a hard time seeing them unless they turn the headlights on manually, or if the twilight sensor turns them on.

Dumbasses.

i think alot of people driving with them usually don't know they do not have their lights on cause the cars nowadays are made for lazy dumb people. although i am lazy, i don't think im lazy and dumb. :)

on hwy most people know they have just the driving lights on. and its legal which is cool. so if your head light is out like mine... use your running lights haha.
