Sorry boys, no pics of the honey...would love to show her off, but I'm too wary of little boys with pent up anger who like to talk smack on message boards and might use her pic for illicit purposes because mommy hid the the Victoria's Secret catalogue.
Lol, all in good fun.

Ha, I like the idea of raising the rear shade...is the rear fog light really so bright? I might give that a whirl.

j/k
the rear fog light is a bit brighter. People who don't know anything about GERMAN cars though, think that it's your brake light acting up, or that the opposite brake light is not working, even though you're not hitting the brakes !

..........I like the rear fog light trick too, works good. I'll have to try the sunshade out..I cannot stand tailgaters, especially when i'm already speeding by 15-20 mph as it is...my cars not a speed demon, but it's no slouch. I had a 2000ish Grand Cherokee v8 tailgating me at about 85 mph, I switched lanes, allowed him around, and imediately got on his tail, he nailed the throttle, as evidenced by a poof of carbon out the exhaust, and as he accelerated, I stayed on him until he began to ever so slowly pull away around 100....I know, no trophy, but I bet he was mildy concerned..

If you really want to get them going. When they are sitting at the traffic light, revving their car and wanting to drag race you...
Ignore them.
That will tork them off more than anything else.

I get this sort of reception from Porsches sometimes. I got three in a row one day. However, their style of "challenging" me took the form of cutting in front of me. One had the audacity to cut me off after I got into a left-turn lane. He came from behind me and squealed to a stop ahead to make his left. Funnily enough, when I was driving in that area (South SF) a month before in a rental (Pontiac something or other) no such reception whatsoever. Hmmmm....

On more than one occassion I've seen ppl behind me having some sort of fit. Simply give em a small wave "good bye" and shut em up with the sun shade. Then sit back and watch em go nuts!!

What's it take to install one? Sunman, any thoughts? I will try a search, but I don't remember anything about this over the last 2 years.EDIT: Found some info by searching!
