Put a beeping sound on MY car when I reverse and first, I disconnect it, second I hunt down and shoot the idiot who designed it. It makes sense with a large trunk where the driver CAN NOT see anything directly behind the vehicle, but it is IMO a STUPID idea for passenger cars. More than enough noise pollution as it is!  >:(

I agree.  We've got a golf car that had a really obnoxious reverse buzzer...  it died somehow.

No one's bothered to fix it.

But honestly, a reverse buzzer on an electric GOLF CART?  The thing can only do 15 km/h downhill...

When I see a US-spec car in the night, it looks like Las Vegas to me: front orange parking lights, separate orange turn signal, separate side markers... I know it's different now since most of the cars are equipped with combined lights, yet does this really make sense?

Another question, most US-spec cars have orange front parking lights, but I've noticed some imports (MB, BMW) have unmodified white ones? Has there been a change in regiulations?
