It’s unbelievable. I’m going blind if I don’t adjust my mirrors where I literally can’t see. I’m also speeding off trying to avoid them following behind. I’m all for nice, bright headlights but it’s really dangerous when this happens. I wearing sunglasses at night to escape the glare of the sun coming from these lifted Silverado 2500s
https://www.businessinsider.com/american-drivers-have-a-blinding-headlight-problem-2023-2 Drivers say they're routinely getting blinded by surrounding cars' headlights. This isn't because headlight regulations have changed — regulations on brightness haven't been altered in decades. In reality, it's due to misaligned headlights, taller vehicles, and the changing hue of the lights.
The opposite is also true. My next door neighbor has a brand new Mustang (he actually owns a Mustang repair shop) and when he starts it up, my whole house vibrates. BUT, he's also the nicest neighbor I've ever had. After Uri, he had a plumber fixing his sprinkler system when a pipe burst and he had the guy fix mine too. I tried to pay him back but he wouldn't accept it. I ended up giving a check to his wife and insisting she cash it, which she reluctantly did. One day just for fun, I pulled up his shop on Google and all of his reviews were 5 stars and talking about how nice and honest he is. He would even throw in extra services for no charge. So I guess you really never know.
I have ALWAYS BEEN among the FIRST to make fun of LIFTED TRUCK people (TAMU/KATY). BUT the truth is - if it's a non-obnoxious lift, done right (something like KING suspension) and you have 4WD and it's not a Dodge RAM - I'll let it slide. BUT ONLY IF you actually offroad AND you have mudflaps. Nothing is worse than wheels that poke out of the base while lacking mudflaps. If you do this, you're 100% a douche. Long story short - you CAN lift your truck and NOT be a douche but you don't see this brand of person in Texas. You gotta go to Colorado or Cali or Oregon. GOOD LUCK TESLA - the new BMW-level douche car? When I see Tesla I just assume you have someone that can afford a decent car and also doesn't know a lot about cars. Which is acceptable to me. Lots of dads and women that know nothing about cars driving Tesla. If you're a MUSK-boi, yeah, douche 100%. But these cars aren't loud. The owners don't drive fast. I'm fine with it. As long as you don't also have a CUSTOM PLATE. If your plate reads something like - eboi or musk99 or gasbad - then you're a DOUCHE. Anything vintage = you're not a douche. Is Audi douche-immune? Jaguar - old boomer douche. Sorry @LonghornFan
Lifted trucks with low profile tires and wheels that stick out a foot or more beyond the fenders are the epitome of douchey, IMO. Or ****ing stupid--one of the two.
I didn't even realize you can Teslas without custom license plates. That's all I saw everywhere. I am 100% sure @CXbby has one. probably says COMPCUM (competition cumming). I was talking to a guy via text in houston about buying his porsche and he said he is in line to get the cybertruck. he then proceeded to tell me how great Elon is and everyone's spreading FUD because he exposed corruption on twitter etc.. lmao. it's like they all go to an Elon church or something and listen to the same sermon! so go ahead and add Cybertruck to the list of grade a douchebag cars.
The ones that make a super loud sound for no reason whatsoever than to announce to the world that some annoying douchebag is in the vicinity.
Lifted trucks that you have to climb to get into that are so shiny that you know it's never visited anything more than a gravel road at their parent's place.
