Here, in the U.S., we have an abundance of "flatearthers" who believe that facts and truth are irrelevant and everything you see in newspapers and newcasts are fake. I'm trying to find a way to deport those people to Canada....

Yes, yes it can be.

This car has horrible interior lighting. Seriously, one bulb?!

Anyway, in an effort to light the interior more, I've got dual footwell lights (dim red when lights are on, super bright white when I open the door). Next I'll be installing the BRZ clear door courtesy lights with LED bulbs. Finally, I need to figure out a way to light the back seats, because the more light I add up front the more in shadow the back seats are. Maybe a second dome light.


Oh and to play along with the original post, I wouldn't tint any of my lights, put stickers on the rear window in front of the 3rd brake, or do anything to make my lights dimmer or less efficient.

Do you remember the marketing campaign when they released that Celica with the body kit? It was literally "Looks Fast" and they'd have an old man yelling, "slow down" or having a dog chase a parked one.

They were literally saying it looks faster than it actually is... Definition of rice.

wouldn't that be nice. And hell I'd take the payment in a nice discount, too.

This was said about seat belts and other safety equipment too, but like others have said, the statistics are why there is now a government mandate. There was an option with safety equipment at one point. Even with that said, I don't know how states don't require helmets for motorcyclists. I work in the ER, and airbags and helmets save lives. In fact, I haven't had a case come into the ER where an airbag injured/killed someone when injuries were initially not expected. Those rare cases are usually from old people sitting far too close to the steering wheel, as well as, children placed/positioned incorrectly.

That's what I figured but it is a cruel and unusual punishment. Flat Earthers erk me more than the people here with their supernatural imaginary friend.

Man, back in my teens, the Celica with the "action package" was so damn cool to me. It's still pretty neat IMHO.

Excessive camber and stretched wheels is something I can't stand.

I was looking for a Celica GT back in the day,,,, all the dealers had were ones that had all of the stick on crap like above. The good news is I bought an RSX S type,,, really liked that car!

THIS. So much this.

[Enkrow]

Excessive camber, large wheel spacers, heavy chrome wheels, plastidip, deleting turn signals, excessive lowering, and body kits. Can't stomach any of it.

I remember those commercials but for some reason my brain always associated it with some Mazda.
