Yes, the brake lights on this Impala are illuminated. It’s a damn good thing the third brake light worked/wasn’t tinted. He changed lanes in front of me and I have no idea if he had a blinker on or not, I couldn’t see.

This is why if you want to tint your lights you have it done CORRECTLY by a PROFESSIONAL.

Also that Ion next to him was riding my ass so close I couldn’t see any of the front of the car. The top of my spoiler was about a quarter way up the windshield. If I had to panic stop for any reason, hell, even stop a little quicker than normal, she’d have been buying me a new ass end.

Gotta love the drivers in Illinois. A guy once gave me the bird for not exceeding the speed limit more than I already have lol

You mock, that is why I miss Illinois drivers. Please Maryland drivers, the speed limit is not 25 mph under what the sign says

While Missouri drivers are bad, it seems that generally the ones from Illinois are so much worse.

I’m at the age where I just don’t get it. Why does everybody have to have the brightest (or purple-ist) lights that their alternator will drive without stalling the engine and also have to have tail lights that nobody can see? Why? Do something else to your car, leave the fucking lights alone. At least a stupidly large wing never blinded anybody.

I never actually saw the front of the car, but I’m almost certain they probably had HIDs in the plain old projector housings.

And starting to see more smoked lights. I don't like it one bit.

I dunno, call me crazy, but isn’t tinting your brake lights so they’re darker....really counter productive?

Most certainly.

I got run off the road by a tow truck...a freaking tow truck!!! He raced me, paced me, then dived into my lane. I can understand some dumb ass teen, but a dude, in a company truck, probably on the clock?!?!

I reported him to the towing company, no idea what happened.

And cops won’t give two flying fucks about this but will bend time and space to pull someone over doing 65 on a 50 mph highway.

Funny thing is, the Government Center/Police Station is juuust out of frame to the left. Cops constantly coming in and out.

He bought a rental car, had to make it look better somehow.

I have a couple rules when it comes to tinting lights.

1) If you tint your tail lights, upgrade your bulbs to LED first.

2) Never use thick matte paint/plastidip, use VHT Nightshades or something that can be applied in a few thin coats.

On my way home from work tonight there was a car broke down at a busy intersection..... And it was abandoned... With no hazard lights. It was just sitting there. Not running with no owner. What the hell is wrong with people.

With the way the Cubs are playing this year and how shitty the bears have been the past few they should really transfer the “loveable loser” nickname to the bears

I hate tinted taillights, and I’ve never understood them. Let me get this straight, you love your car sooo much, that you want to make it harder (if not almost impossible) to tell if you’re stopping, and thus making it far more likely for your car to get rear-ended? Brilliant!

Well that person in the Impala wanted to turn the Impala into a time attack car. But they started the process in the wrong order: cosmetic stuff gets done last. :P

In all seriousness, I do see that every so often where I live & the drivers are usually looking like folks that don’t know any better.
