Saw something that really made me wonder last night.....
Was coming home, near my neighborhood at a busy intersection at about 8:00 PM. Totally dark nighttime. I'm sitting in the left turn lane, hangin' out, watching all the cars go by.
I saw a dark shadow and hear a familiar sound, and lo and behold, here's a black car going by with it's lights off. If I hadn't heard it I never woulda known it was there....and I'm thinking "Whatta dumb-bass, drivin' around with his lights off at night"....and then I see the rear of the car as it drives away and the reflection comes off the taillights.....it's the familiar shape of three vertical lights on each side........and that roofline....it's a new Mustang for cripes sake!!!
This really made me wonder. Personally I find it pretty hard to ignore details when driving this car because it's new, and exciting, and just seems to bring my driving senses to life. But........if I remember, aren't the dash lights actually ON during the day, with a white color, to help see the instruments even during daylight?
And WHAT IF someone had the IUP and their MyColor setting was set to white?? Would it make it easier to THINK your lights are on, when they're not? I mean I can tell, because I don't have Green, Blue, or Red.....but white sounds like a bad idea here for this reason.
Just postulatin'. Embarassed to see a fellow 'Stang driver doing this, and thinking of something to watch for.
