I spent a shit load of time at Bliss and donna anna, the worst part of my army career
I thought you'd have an opinion on checking some racks, gff. good to know
/me layered up for the ride in. and wore hiking boots. it all worked out pretty well, yes
today is colorectal cancer multidisciplinary clinic. 4 of the 13 patients are younger than me, and I'm not that old.

I've commuted comfortably in the cold with hiking boots and flat pedals. My feet always get cold with proper winter clip less shoes. Having a chunk of metal bolted to the bottom of my foot just conducts all the heat out.
45 North winter shoes/boots do not do this (above -10?), but they are ridiculous to ride around in sometimes.
JM?
thankfully my perspective of them is indirect, via MR and CT
rather than looking right up the ol' anus through an optical scope, that is
i had this problem until i discovered insulated insoles. among the best $15 i've ever spent.
People who are insufficiently cognizant of their surroundings and the need to manually turn on their headlights while driving when it's foggy should lose all driving privileges and their vehicle should be given to jimmydean to test drive.
Maybe 1.5 cars out of 20 while I walked the DSO just. The 0.5 was an old impreza with one failed headlamp, but at least they had them turned on.

these are the same people who drive along at night on their DRLs, taillights unlit
No mandatory daylight headlights in freedumbistan?
Maybe it's the old aircraft mechanic in me, but if the vehicle is in motion, the lights are on. Time of day is irrelevant.
IMO every vehicle should have the feature that allows you to simply leave the lights on *all* the time and said lights turn off after you turn off/leave the vehicle. Our old Subaru Outback, Mazda CX-5, and Nissan Xterra all have this feature. I'm not sure why all vehicles don't...
i've been driving a subaru for over a decade and that's not a standard feature on all cars?
Dunno - like I said, our '97 Subaru had it... but perhaps it isn't a feature on all vehicles?
Thats not a feature on all cars now?
The people that drive with their lights off, are probably the ones that don't read the owners manual...
I think this is a problem with the digital type instrument clusters. On older cars with pure analog gauges, the cluster wouldn't light up unless the headlights were turned on. Now instrument clusters are always lit, so there is no indication that your taillights might be off.
I once pulled up next to someone at a red light and informed them that their lights weren't on. They looked at me like I was an idiot.
It doesn't help with fog, but my VW has a cool feature where it turns on the lights if the wipers are going.

Wow, TSA has stepped up their game. For the last three years, I have been able to smuggle a co2 cartridge inside of my aluminum one up pump no problem. Got busted and called back to the check in desk, had to show them how to open it, and remove the co2. They were cool, but holy crap, that’s next level xray.
Did have to go through security again, where they really looked through things.

Pretty sure a lot of the time it's people solely relying on the auto-headlights in the vehicle and not being 
enough to manually turn the lights when required.

what's that tattered flag with the barcode all about?!
those did nothing for me. a complete waste of my moneys. and I stupidly bought the 45NRth ones, so it was many moneys I had to disburse. I believe you found a source for cheap Aerothan soles?
all these driver aids and nanny features are why cars cost so much nowadays. and why people have forgotten how to drive. no thanks, I'd rather a feature-poor econobox.
I'm pretty sure that headlights that turn off when the car turns off aren't really an expensive feature. I'm pretty sure that Volkswagens have had this particular feature forever, no? Or was that just the radio?

Can't say I noticed much difference with the 45nrth over the crappy stock ones in my Lake 303/4's.
see the link i just posted, those made a noticeable difference over the stock insoles in my 303s
I used to have a Honda Element which is basically four seats and a steering wheel compared to modern cars. But there is something to be said for keyless entry and push button starting.
Last Wednesday of the season…
My wife swears this is her next car purchase. We'll see how this actually plays out when the time comes, but I'm all for it. I think it'll probably happen because she's pretty cheap. I've been the one wanting all the new fangled gizmos, but I've definitely changed my mind about that the last couple years. Really wish I'd hung on to the Jeep.
until it comes time to replace the keyfob and its over $500
What are the options in this category, though? It's not like we get *real* econobox options like most of the rest of the world...
I quite like having good adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, wireless CarPlay, and heated butt/hands. not giving those things up. ok, wired CarPlay would be ok as an alternative
you can still get a Mirage, I thinkWhat are the options in this category, though? It's not like we get *real* econobox options like most of the rest of the world...

the one thing i cannot abide is vehicles going all touch screen.What are the options in this category, though? It's not like we get *real* econobox options like most of the rest of the world...
I doubt they are a substantial part of the cost increase related to production. I do think they are what the manufacturers and dealers want you to think is driving the prices so it looks like you’re getting something for the extra they’re charging. Don’t ignore the fact a lot of the overhead that gets included in the price is the same for feature rich and feature poor cars.
