HOLY SH*T! Joe B16 was RIGHT!?!?

About a week ago, I read a post by Joe (aka. HondaGuru) and he said that altezzas were hard to see, especially in the dawn or dusk hours. Well, as it turns out, I have (had) altezzas on my car. A couple days after I read the post, I had the weird experience of driving behind my car in a truck (moving furniture.) It was about 6:30pm and dusk, around here. Well, after following for about 10 min. I realized that the only brake light I could see was the 3rd light, on the rear deck. I was like "HOLY SH*T!! Joe was right. I'm lucky that I haven't been rear-ended (not like that you sick puppy) yet. I checked the housing on the lights, and they are DOT approved, but I pulled them off, and put the stockers back on. Oh well, they don't really seem as bad as I thought when I originally pulled them off. And at least I know that people can see my lights now.

Altezzas: not only are they hazardous to the look of your car, they are also hazardous to other drivers
