I've seen many people get seriously f'ed up due to high speed rear end collisions which you are now at greater risk for, stationary or otherwise. If you ever have to pull the car to the side of the highway, put your flashers on and abandon it until a wrecker or motorist assists arrives. I'm dead serious. Based on the wrecks I've been to it's a good idea in general and with a car like that pretty much a requirement.
Wouldn't call you anything, it's just an opinion and thanks for it. Side reflectors yes I do agree were compromised, but the rest is just fine. Easy to see day or night, the tails are no darker than the last blazers or grand prixs.

Im wiring the forth brake light today.

I appreciate the concern, and so does my mother. lol
