I see fixed versions of "parking poles" (actually called "bumper guides") on a lot of big red-blooded American semitrucks.

I'll leave it to you to tell a semi-truck driver that he is "inept".

I think an xB is a little easier to park than a peterbuilt....

Umm, that's a Freightliner.

If a bumper guide helps someone avoid clipping my car while parking, I'm all for it!

Actually, xB mirrors are larger than the mirrors on most subcompacts. As long as the size is reasonably in porportion they look fine.

ill agree with you on the headlight washers .... but not needing HIDS?? thats the dumbest thing i ever heard

lol

get in a car that comes with a good set of OEM hids .. drive it around for a day or 2 .. and then tell me you dont need em ...

now there is a difference between needing em and affording em .. hids are expensive but 100% nessecary ... all cars should come with them .. they just arent cost effective to have on all cars

You might like and prefer to use them, but it's not like I'm blind at night. I've never gotten into an accident, and I've done plenty of driving at night without HIDs.
