It wasn't until I'd been driving for 16 years that I finally got a warning for not having a front plate. A month or two later, after stupidly getting pulled over for speeding, I was given a ticket for the missing plate. I certainly wasn't going to complain, since the officer was nice enough to not ticket me for speeding, which would have been more expensive than the plate. On my new car, they provided the plate bracket, but it wasn't installed. I was planning on seeing if I can get the dealership to install it since it requires drilling in to the bumper (WTF, VW?) and don't have any real tools. But, I think I may go with that hide the plate option. I haven't been pulled over yet in this car, but I think that's because I've finally stopped speeding everywhere. I don't want to keep pushing my luck.

Negromancer posted:and thats even in the outback we used to have! It was green and I live in seattle, have fun figuring out which green outback is yours in the REI parking lot! That was the worst idea ever. quote:I really like my jetta sportwagen because my dog is light enough that she does not trigger the passenger air bag sensor, so I feel better about having her ride shotgun. I kept noticing my Jetta would occasionally detect a passenger when I would put my gym bag on the seat. I thought it was weird, as it's not heavy. I eventually found out that it was my cell phone that was causing it when one day I set it on the passenger seat with the charging cable plugged in to it. Nice Dog.

Moppingest posted:I've got a whole bunch of these, still trying to figure out the best (and free) method to upload/edit them. Not sure why this one only uploads in 360p though: That's just because it's one of the first resolutions to finish. It takes a while for the higher resolutions to complete and show up. E: Beaten!

Some of the Sheep posted:My impression of it was it was a waste of time. Almost all bone, you spend your whole time searching for meat. No special flavour the rest of the chicken doesn't have either. I've never eaten them, but just looking at them this is the impression I get. The only thing I can see using them for would be to make some stock.

Hmm... I've only seen single car rolling roadblocks here in California. Like so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31fZIBxFd9I I'd never seen that happen before (and I had been driving for about 18 years at that point), so it was weird as hell to me. I think I've seen it about 3 times since then.

xzzy posted:No, but not many vehicles are yet equipped with microphones. Which for most people means they'll head to the store to buy either a bluetooth headset or wired equivalent, which will instantly put them in violation of any ear-blocking laws. You can buy bluetooth speaker/mic that clips on your visor. Also, most bluetooth earpieces are for a single ear (If you're using a wired equivalent, even if they're stereo, you can still talk/listen perfectly fine with only a single earpiece) which, last I've heard is perfectly legal.

Someone needs to slap an 'Are Country' sticker underneath that flag to make this perfect.

To hopefully put this ridiculous de-rail to rest, why not just put a back up beeper on the van? Most people (that I've seen anyway) tend to move the gently caress out of the way when they hear those. Like so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtjdTgRhTC4

EightBit posted:Fuel doors on the passenger side don't make any sense. There's always going to be a driver, put it on the side closest to them. The VW Salesman told me (and I'm sure it's bullshit, but whatever) that they do that for safety reasons. If you run out of fuel and you're on the side of the road trying to fuel up your car, you're away from the road and (hopefully) less likely to be hit. ***Edit*** gently caress, beaten.
