    Automatic Head Lights.... aahhhhhh

    guess that tells you what kind of cars I drive.

    One would think the engineers would connect the dots and think... “if it’s dark enough for headlights maybe we should toss on all running lights... even if it’s daytime.... what harm would it be to just throw all the switches?”

    Where does one send suggestions to Ford, Chrysler, GM, etc to collect on this innovation in technological concepts???

    (This message will self destruct if I ever have an “accident” with a vehicle running at night without tail lights... and by chance a law suit against the manufacturer comes up, I’ll remember my friend)

    Stay Safe!!!
     
    TokyoJoe, Lonesome and jarhead0311 Thank this.

    All of my car lights come on automatically when it gets dark. That feature has been around for a long time really. The first vehicle I had with it was my 99 Sonoma.

    My 07 Mustang lights don’t. Not even daytime running lights.

    It's like a back up camera, every car doesn't have the option. I would like to get a car that has the park itself option

    Well this is a first... for me anyway...

    LUL at my first Family Dollar and they are using a flat bed tow truck to unload me... using the wench to drag the coolers out of the trailer... then sliding and dropping them onto the ground... looks like the compressors were shipped separately to be installed later.

    something feels very different about this setup...

    aren’t the coolers normally shipped on wheels, or casters, and just rolled out and around? My mind is blank this morning.

    I love that commercial!

    It’s family dollar. They didn’t want to spring for the extra cost of the wheels! :)
