So what's 20 more cents per gallon at each fill up?Premium fuel needed though..
Rondo's are cheap. Compared to what I drive now any of them would be modern.

It's 20 cents (or more) more per liter here, so basically just flushing money.
That could be $9-10 extra per tank. It's small, but it adds up. And that's with gas being a little cheaper right now.
Plus that Subaru engine only makes 230hp, which would be frustrating if you're feeding it good fuel. Now if it had a turbo...

Don't know if anyone else is bothered by LED headlights when driving at night, it certainly bothers me. Doesn't help that there are a fair number of morons around here that drive with their high beams on all the time. Got a pair of pair of clear gaming glasses that filters out high frequency light, makes a world of difference.
A day out in Britain-
I blame it on the part adoption of the Metric system, do people know how deep 3ft is these days?
Close to 7km. AmIright?
Yes! Being in a car, while most others are in SUV or trucks makes it even worse.
Some of the blue lights glare so much and make it hard for me to see the road - this is especially true on dark two lane roads out in the middle of no where.
Some makes seem way worse than others, like Toyota. Some Ford trucks are obnoxious as well.
And yeah this is purely just their stock headlights. Let's not get into every Jeep bro and their misaligned and laser beam LED lights.
I rarely drive at night and noticed that also. I've read somewhere that it is also due to aging...
I made the mistake of flashing one of them last week, as it felt their lights were misaligned. when he switched to high beams I was blinded for a few seconds. good thing I was at a stop sign, so I just stayed there till my vision returned. it's ridiculous.
The big issue around here are brodozers who haven't adjusted their headlights after a 12" lift and 40" tires. When I was in the Vette, it was awful (your ass is a foot off the ground).

The wife's car auto adjusts the high beams when it senses oncoming traffic.
Got to be nearly 40 years old from the UK and this was pre mobile phone and car touch screen nonsense...
Though it's the color temperature as much as the brightness, those bluer hues just hit different.
Headlights Are Safer In Europe; Changes To U.S. Standard Proposed
A new report by the AAA details the dangers of headlights on U.S. vehicles and the benefits of a new technology: adaptive driving beam headlights (ADB).

Did read this a while back, wonder if this will ever come to fruition here. Seems like it would be greatly beneficial.

The bluer light is higher energy and therefore more damaging, per Max Planck.

Link to the glasses?
I really have a tough time dealing with LED headlights! I figure it is just a “getting old” thing, but if there are some magic specs that’ll fix it…
There are probably much better options out there but I went with the cheapos to experiment.

That looks fun. My sister had a 2002 that my brother wanted to tweak but she refused.
watched it earlier this week. IMO, funniest part is at 18:44....
which part? don't have so many kids? caus' that's been pretty well debunked. ride your bike more? I can get behind that. plant a tree? you'll need to plant waaaay more than a tree. don't use as much water? not sure where to even start with that one. Don't buy a $100K car? yup, no argument there.
I think the biggest point of this video is the charging infrastructure needs to (radically) improve, and car prices need to come down. neither of which are impossible.
younger brothers first car was some guys 68 2002 autocross car.....purchased in 88 for under 2k...

This reminded me that I took this picture the other day. Trying to find a car that fits a bike like this these days is hard.VW Beetle FTW. 21 years old and still going strong.
I guess I just need to win the lottery this week and buy that RS6 wagon.
