You can see this for yourself with two sets of polarized glasses. Turn the lens 90 degrees to each other (hold one pair vertically) and you won't see anything. Turn them both horizontal (or the same direction) and you can see through them.

I've run into this with other types of displays as well, such as in aircraft or on a boat. The FAA recommends not wearing polarized lens when flying because of this. It can also cause issues seeing through some acrylics, like used in airplane windshields.

My experience with polarized lenses is that a number of them are polarized in a random direction. One set of clipons, I had to tilt my head to the left, another set needed to be nearly upside down, and another needed to be tilted to the right

The coating on my rexspeed polarized mirrors have failed. I don't really want to go back to normal mirrors now so I may give OLM a try next to see if i have better luck.

Why I can not see the LCD screens on gas pumps and my bank's ATM when wearing my polarized sunglasses.

They should (but not shall) be oriented horizontally to combat horizontal reflection of light off of surfaces. I've had some that are different and not quite level as well (usually something cheap in my experience), but most of the time they should be horizontally polarized. I get reminded once in a while when I rotate my phone to landscape for taking pictures and wonder why the hell the camera screen hasn't popped up yet.

Was yesterday, but got to go on track at Lime Rock Park for a few parade laps during the lunch break at the Trans Am race. We were told to keep it under 60, but also told to keep up with the pace car, and he apparently wanted to put his foot down on the main straight, so....officially we did not exceed 60mph lol. Always fun to get on a legit track, even if it's not in anger.

Camber plates, brake pads and high-temp fluid in preparation for my first day at the track in the 86

Put in a thermostatic sandwich plate and changed the oil.

Keep an eye on those banjo fittings. I would drill holes in them and safety them!

No I safetied mine when I installed it. But there have been reports of them coming loose. Also in aviation there is not a banjo fitting that is not safetied. look at the direction you torque the nuts in. As the engine flexes back and fourth it puts a strain on the hoses in the exact same axis as you loosing torque. If torque correct you will probably have no issues, it just is not worth the chance for me.
