Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Speaking of steering trailers, I assume they still use hook and ladder fire trucks with a rear driver steering the back end.

I don't understand why people buy a car marching the color of other drivers' dirty mirrors.

4WS has been done multiple times over the years including currently. The advantage is better control on the freeway and better maneuvering at low speeds. They work like others have said - steer same direction at speed and countersteer at low speed. It is complex and expensive - the downside.

A lot of states have a law to turn on your lights when it’s raining. It just doesn’t sink in to some people. I originally wasn’t a fan of daytime running lights but have changed my mind since at least the headlights will be on for people that won’t turn their lights on.

My '19 Jeep Cherokee has daytime running lights, but using the wipers automatically turn on the "regular" lights.

I surprised myself when buying a dark gray car after having had mostly white and easily visible ones.

Of course, having a light color wasn't nearly as important after leaving SoCal and having much lower temps. But the real reason was for it to be more stealth, flying under the radar at least figuratively speaking.

Many prefer the very eye catching colors that Challengers came in, which in my case would've likely resulted in several tickets by now. It does have DLRs so it can be seen, yet doesn't stand out, and I feel that it's partially my job to make others aware of that I'm there.

I recall the 2019 AAA report stating the most hit and accident prone vehicle color is B-L-A-C-K.

It's not IF your black vehicle will be in an accident, it's a matter of time when it does.

Ditto. I went Granite Crystal Metallic, or whatever they were calling the metallic dark gray. As aggressive as the styling is in those cars, you don’t need anything that calls even more attention.

Yep, Granite and debadged makes it blend in. This one was bought off the lot and I would've never thought to order stripes on it, but have really taken a liking to them. Kind of like ghost flames, they're there while far from obvious.

Probably should point out that this is not its natural habitat. Normally it doesn't get to see curbs, stop lights, etc., just twisty 2-laners.

I would go for Sublime.

Loud and proud!

You're good then. Not invisible at dusk, or as seen in a dirty mirror.

I've twice now nearly pulled out of a store into the path of an invisible camo-painted Toyota pickup that was coming down the boulevard way too fast. Scary! And also have mistaken a gray car off in the distance for just empty asphalt until I looked a second time when it was closer.

Black dually, Black Jeep (pos), Black Harley, Black horse trailer, Black box trailer, Black side-by-side, Black flat bed. But my tractors are Red.

My Challenger is black with black stripes but no wrecks yet in 15 years.

 

[KennyG]

I prefer red and yellow for my vehicles. The exception is my MG which just had to be British Racing Green.

Scary was me yesterday, coming back from the optometrist.

I have no idea what they did while checking my eyes, but my vision was very blurry on the way home. Gray car on asphalt, basically invisible.

That made it much more interesting to try passing someone when only being able to see a vehicle when it was within a quarter mile or so, and they had to be within about 75 feet before I could tell if it was a car or a pickup.

Needless to say, I kept it under 80 for the most part, made easier by that the cops having some kind of blitz in a 10-mile stretch closer to town. Not that I could tell a cop car from a Corvette until I got really close, but the radar detector could.

Loud Paint Saves Lives!

Meanwhile, Granite saves driving privileges.
