Default Stupid Chevy Trucks / SUV's

You know what gets on my nerves? when I see Chevy/GMC trucks or suv's right behind me at night. No matter what model i see their lights are always mis-aligned... One of the lights is always high beaming me no matter what. Do you guys get this also?

its not mis-alinged.. its just the angle of their headlights.. if they get up close to you it goes throgh the rear windshield... to them.. they probably think its pretty sweet. but any high cars... will do that to a low car like our z

yeah, I got you, but its only one of the headlights that seem to get to me the most, even with the auto-dimmer, it blinds the F*ck out of me..

You guys are right. That pisses me off too. I just tap on the brakes so they get pissed off and pass from the other lane. But yea, just ignore the mirrors

pisses me off when people follow to close anyway. One rev and they will back off. That's why I love the Z. That or just jettin away from them just enough so they cant catch up and tailgate you anymore. He who laughs last, laughs best.

I was in Arlington, Texas, 6 years ago for a cousin's wedding. On the freeway, a Bronco in the left lane tried to overcorrect on a turn, flipped on its roof, collapsing the passenger side. The SUV continued to spin like a top, upsidedown, for about another 100m.

I'm pretty sure the shotgun passenger was crushed. I called 911 as soon as I could.

SUV's trying to race...really shouldn't be.

Yeah I also hate those concert lights as well, but to be fair Ive had a few cool trucks who had actually turned of their lights at each and every light when they were behind me.

What pisses me off or is a pet peeve of mine is that Nissan was smart enough to give me the auto dimming rearveiw mirror option where the rearview mirror will dim the reflections of the trucks headlights, but the side mirror does not have this option...

So, it's kind of useless since you are saved by being blinded from the rearview mirror but then your side mirrors still blinds you.
