From the other school - Who needs, lights or anything else in the dark when you have some dinky little DRLs that obviously make you visible from the darkness of space, even from the rear.
If they have DRLs... On dark winter mornings said car will be dark grey/black and driven at elevated speeds past rows of parked cars with frosted windows. The driver will then be incensed when you fail to notice them until the very last moment.iva cosworth said:
There will always be an old VW Camper broken down if you are travelling in the West Country between
June and August.
On any journey on the M6 on a bank holiday monday, you will see more VW campers on the back of AA flatbeds or on the hard shoulder than you'll see moving under their own power.June and August.
No rust bubble is ever exactly '5p' sized.
P38 Range Rovers are significantly less reliable than a Nigerian scam artist.
Mk1 MX5s transcend the concept of 'car', and are actually fallen angels with 4 wheels.
If the owner is 'waiting for the V5', they are evil.
'The convertible is wallowy, you should have bought a tin-top.'
Lexus LS is the greatest shed in existence.
Chinese cars will shortly become self aware and take over like Skynet.
Wheeler Dealers is worthless because Edds labour isn't factored in.

No matter the type, value or age of vehicle, a bloke driving a convertible car with the roof down looks ridiculous.

"Powered by Fairydust" is actually a coded signal, where idiots are conned into signalling to sensible people that they have no ability to drive and everyone should stay well away from them.
Eyelashes for car headlights serve the same purpose, but warn you when you're approaching a vehicle from the front.
When Ebola/nuclear war/Nigel Farage destroys humanity, the only things left will be cockroaches, 1990's Toyotas and Mercedes W124's.
The fastest car someone will ever drive on the road in an abusive fashion is a hire car. (With thanks to PJ O'Rourke who I think had a decent quote I mangled there.) In a related topic, never buy a "one owner" car from a hire company.
Most people who claim to be brilliant drivers are wrong. Those who think they're "OK, but still have more to learn" are likely to be significantly better than the average driver.
The fastest vehicle on most motorways is a Mercedes Sprinter. Be kind to him- he needs to finish his journey before his vehicle rusts.

Cambelts are the car industry's attempt to alleviate unemployment in the garage technician population.
Britax pop-out sunroofs were the better at shedding value from a car than any lack of maintenance under the bonnet.
Porsche 911 and VW Beetles from 1968 to 1982 are 90% interchangeable on body panels and engine components.
Dim-dip headlights (UK Traffic Law requirement circa 1987) probably saved more lives than penicillin.
