    Yeah and then there are the newer cars with LED lights channeling the full force of the sun straight into your mirrors so like I just can't see shit at night anymore

      I find it interesting how much more expensive the cars with missing headlights are than mine these days!

        I have one of those newer fancier ish cars with the LED lights because I needed a new car and that was what they had, and the reason we all drive around without headlights is because at least on my car one headlight cannot be replaced, you must replace the assembly, and it's $2000. So when mine goes out I'll duct tape a fucking flashlight to the hood and call it a day.

          Holy shit of course. Because just think of all that lost profit from people using generic bulbs from autozone. They'd be fools to not make it one big expensive piece of shit.

      A bunch of fuckers around me drive around with their high beams on the second it even drizzles. In an urban area with streetlights. C’mon bro

      I was going to say I fucking wish I'd noticed a bunch of cars with their lights out instead I'm just getting fucking blinded by 2 out of three cars on my drive home.

    Thanks for reminding me to change my headlight! It's been out for a minute and I've been too lazy to throw a replacement in
