what is the most useless thing in a car?

How is a taco useless in a car? What if you're hungry?

>>15148452
I've lost count of how many times my co-worker tried to set off in the van with the handbrake engaged.

>>15148470
'No'

Foglights. No one uses them when it's foggy. But everyone uses them as daylights and at night which pisses me the fuck off.

Pocket storage on a driver's door in a small cars. I use only that on passenger's side.

>>15148493
This fucking annoys me. And in my experience the fog lights don't even fucking help you see at night, they only exist to blind oncoming drivers.

>>15148499
>fog lights don't even fucking help you see at night
Yeah they shouldve called it night lights, oh wait..

>>15148435
You're an idiot

>>15148489
I mean if it's a 4 banger shit box you drive to and from work then yes it's probably useless but if it's got sequential mode or locks and you actually use them for various reasons then yes you do need to monitor it.

>>15148499
If they do, then they're also blinding other drivers. If they don't then it's useless to turn them on at night.
At night foglights shouldn't shine further than 5 meters in front and sideways. And they shouldn't be used in the first place. Or if you really think they help you, turn them off when you see a car in front of you because it's really annoying.

Touch screens. Buttons are superior, touch screens are temperamental and have no haptic feedback.

>>15148493
Rear fog lights are the worst.

People put them on when there's so much as a puff of smoke from a nearby cigarette on the road and it blinds the fuck out of anyone behind.

>tfw stuck in a traffic jam on the autobahn behind some old fart in a ford fiesta and he's got his rear foglights on the whole way

>>15148536
They don't help you because they're not aimed at the road, and they don't shine far enough to illuminate things in the distance. They do just fine shining into my eyes when I drive past though.

>>15148438
this is not wrong

How come cars don't produce any torque higher than a certain RPM? Shouldn't you want it to go as high as possible? (for increased speed)

>>15148693
Torque is a meaningless #, HP wins races

>>15148702
Then why aren't all race cars rotary engines?

>>15148727
Rules banned them because they were too fast

>>15148693
because of fluid dynamics and inertia and friction of the engine itself

>>15148742

For some reason I found it even more annoying than FM when these things happened.

>>15148542

Touch screens are the result of the "It's the current year!" mentality. You can't operate it without looking at it like buttons, so it's objectively worse for driving. But all cars have them because the majority believes that a bunch of useless tech=better. I'm surprised that even sports cars have the touch screens. You would think that people buying a car for performance wouldn't need gimicky shit.

Apparently the most useless thing in a car is the switch for the turning signals.

>>15148894
Only in BMWs.

>>15148869
Again, you're mistaking memes for reality. The 787b and the rotary engine are literally unstoppable.

>>15148858

... Rear fog lights?

Is this a thing in Canada? I don't think I've seen this once in my life. Some cars have reverse lights that look a bit like fog lights (in the bumper, distinct and not part of the taillight assembly) but they're definitely just reverse lights.

For what possible reason do these exist if you're going forwards?

>>15148406

>>15149339
Rear fog lights are, in theory, supposed to make you more visible to drivers behind you in extremely foggy conditions.

In practice, they're used by retards and assholes to blind drivers behind them.

>>15149316

I find them more distracting than anything since some cars dont have steering wheel controls.

Why is there no 90's rave/eurobeat sirius channel. Going through all the eurobeat albums is taking a while, and I have nowhere near enough happy hardcore music.

Would not complain about a hardstyle channel, or a 2000's edm channel as well.

My dad got a discount on XM with his new car for a few months, and when that was up he called them and told them it was too expensive and not worth it. They extended the discount...so he did the same thing again 6 months later...and again. He's been paying like $6/mo. for XM for like 2 years.

desu I kind of like having a touchscreen infotainment system. They're kind of shitty right now, but once CarPlay and android auto become the norm, they'll be great. Plus, dealing with a huge infotainment screen (especially if you have a knob to control it with) is less distracting than looking down and scrolling around on your phone, which normies do anyway.
The real problem imo is when companies make simple things hard to do just for the sake of being modern. Like burying climate controls within the infotainment system menus, or replacing actual buttons with these stupid fucking resistive touch toggles (pic related)

Then you have cheap fog lights. Good ones put out a light pattern that is 'cut off' above their aiming line. And they need to be mounted and aimed properly so that they don't throw light upwards. Really good foglights also have a cutoff to the left (right in Britain, Japan, etc.) so they illuminate straight ahed and your shoulder only.

But with all this, you just created a Euro spec low beam headlight anyway. So what was the point with foglights?In many countries a 'fog light' is a bright red auxiliary taillight. to keep from being rear-ended in the fog.

The Tach is nice to notice irregularities at idle (compared to where it should be) to a more accurate measure than your ears whether you have a manual or auto to give you a sign shits fucking up.
