View Full Version : Out of the mouth of babes
2011crimson 11-15-2010, 11:12 AM I came home from work last night in the new tC, backing into the driveway. My daughter watched me drive up from the porch.
"Dad, did you know that the backup light on your new car does not work, you only have one."
"Yeah, they did that on purpose."
"Why would they do that?"
"They think it's cool."
"Why would that be cool?"
"Well, they say the Europeans are doing it in the sports cars."
"That's stupid, everyone will just think it's broke."
Hmmmmmm......

its as stupid as driving your car 1/4inch off the ground...yet people still do that too. not to mention the other people who think its kewl to murder your fenders to fit wheels way to big for your car..but beauty is in the eye of the beholder remember.

i thought useless roof racks were bad, but this is even worse.
FlintMica2005 11-15-2010, 07:52 PM functional rear foglight>useless roof rack
functional during rain/snow/fog since people cant see well period, guess those european automakers dont know what theyre doing according to you :doh:
If its only going to have 1 reverse light, they should really think about putting in a rear foglight to make it looks less stupid
FlintMica2005 11-15-2010, 08:48 PM thats what i thought when i saw it. all that space on the right tail to not be used.
tcCALI 11-16-2010, 06:39 AM obviously its to save on power.. just being energy efficient where they can ;)
Gutling 11-16-2010, 08:49 AM Lol we have had one person bring there brand new '11 back saying a reverse light was out. We had to pull the trunk door off to show them there was not supposed to be a bulb there. Whats worse is there is even a hole for it, and just has a sticker covering it so moisture will not get in. At least on my xb its on the bumper and not a empty light on the other side.

i was quoting you and others changing the gen1 tc to a single back up light, which is lame. i said nothing about cars that are built that way from the manufacturer.
