    On your own? Youtube has some great channels.
     
    As a profession? Do something else.

    I honestly hate new lights with a passion. They're blinding, have hard cutoffs instead of softer edges, glare in every fucking direction; they're not even better for you to see at night! My plain old yellow-white halogens do a far better job providing a safe light pattern for me and people around me than most modern lights do, which is kind of funny.

    Edit, to add: Lights do not need to keep getting brighter to drive at 90mph in the middle of the night, you should adjust your speed accordingly and not out-drive your lights. This increase in brightness but shitty patterns/colors is pointless and creates more dangerous drivers. Also auto-high beams, dumb. So unbelievably dumb as fuck.
    *lights up the world for everyone else*
    Homie, your lights cast in every direction and blind other drivers as is. It is not your DRLs doing that. It's your projectors being flat out wrong.

    Awful lot of off axis glare for not high beams.

    Checkin in. I found a computer addiction to redirect my car parts one.  Turns out, they're not that much cheaper.... 
     
    91 240sx I've owned for a decade or 2. Many renditions, many motors. After a decade in storage, it is currently having the engine bay shaved and a GM LS6/T56 from a Corvette C5 Z06 going in. Many other things, including some preventative and not so much rust repair (damn pinch welds)

    And since we were talking about a truck we're going to use a truck as an example, ya know, to be grounded in the discussion:

    75mph = 16mpg
    65mph = 24mpg
     
    700 mile @ 75mph = 9.33 hours , 43.75 gal @ $3.50 = $153
    700 mile @ 65mph = 10.77hours , 29.17 gal @ $3.50 = $102
     
    Is an hour and a half worth $50? Sometimes kinda, yeah.

    *But why 75!? I said 82! -> Average Interstate speed limit.

    I have been driving this for a week and I’m starting to understand why a lot of drivers are absolute dipshits on the road. Or at least part of it, definitely not the only cause.
    Driving something like this you have so many of your senses just muffled by the car. I can’t hear shit, the car doesn’t make much noise, I can’t see out of it very well either. 
    The only way for me to know I’m going fast, besides the obvious speedometer or the projected HUD, is hearing the turbo spool up ever so faintly. 

    I don’t feel bumps in the road, I don’t hear other cars or my own car. I was going 55 in a 30 without even noticing because the feedback of “you’re going too damn fast” isn’t there.
    If I was doing that in the wagon (1994 escort) I would hear the road, the car, it would be squirmy and bouncy over the smallest bumps. I drive slow as shit in the wagon because I’m extremely aware of everything going on around me with full 360 visibility and no sound dampening.
     
    Its eye opening to say the least, it makes a lot more sense why there’s always some dipshit tailgating me, or passing me at 90mph, along with eating paint chips for breakfast they also just might not get the feeling of their driving.
