So how did this thread go from VAG-boss having a look at the i30 to Audi drivers are dicks?

There is a very strange population of cocks in the US, it's a subset of general cocks that tend to stick Audi/BMW but they use Japanese/Korean econoboxes. I was even tried to be muscled out by a Prius once, that made me laugh. Plenty of time I would have someone in a Camry (non-V6) or an older Hyundai try to get on my ass and intimidate me. Usually I just accelerate and then laugh when they try to catch upThat's weird. Around here, it's all German cars (mostly Audis and s, but I've caught a couple of Porsches being cocks as well), with a strong substratum of the Retard's Car Of Choice, the Chevy Impala.
I make fun of my brother for driving around with his front fogs on. Front fogs, or specifically those used when there is no fog, are commonly referred to as wanker lights here. It's a practice used usually by those driving SS Commodores.
In germany, it?s even explicitly forbidden by law. So you are a law breaking wanker here when you do that ...I've never understood this line of thinking. Why does having more lights on make you a wanker? They can't even dazzle other drivers, since they're aimed further down than lowbeam headlights.
No such law here. I don't really get the hate either, for isntance there is more light coming off the car when my fogs are on but it is aimed down and to the sides so I can see debris in the road better when they are on. Doesn't bother anyone so don't see the problem.In germany, it?s even explicitly forbidden by law. So you are a law breaking wanker here when you do that ...

It?s for the front ones too. I get your point, it really isn?t such a big problem ... usally.Is that for the rear-facing fog light or for front facing ones? I can understand in the case of the former (since it's supposed to be extra bright and pointed at drivers' faces) but not in case of the latter (since they're aimed downwards as mentioned by prizrak).

Never had a problem with that personally but at the same time the Audi fog lights are referred to as driving lights here and they are not yellow (or blue) on my gen, they are same color as headlights so its a little strange.At speed I find using the fog lights distracting. They illuminate the road right in front of me, anything I see there is too late anyway. This illumination reduces my night vision, making distant objects harder to spot.

LOL you should get the German award. I understand what you are talking about and I do see the large difference in the distance coverage I was just never distracted by the fogs at the same time Brooklyn is very well lit up at night so lights are mainly for fun.Mine are the same colour as the driving lights (= low beams) as well. Here's a diagram (duh) to illustrate my perception:
Compare 1 and 3. You see how the outline of the fog lights (3) is much wider to the left and right, but does not reach as far forwards.
This illuminates stuff close to the car off to either side - at speed I don't need that, it's additional light hitting my eyes resulting in relatively less light received from the objects further away but straight ahead.
On top of that my low beams do not shine down onto the road directly in front of my car much. At speed I never look there directly anyway, anything sitting there gets hit either way. The fog lights do illuminate this useless area quite well, again increasing the overall light hitting my eyes and hence decreasing the relative light coming from the important objects, straight and far ahead.
imagine sitting in the cinema. You're watching the screen while someone turns on the stage lights to the left and right of the screen. Your perception of the screen is that it gets darker / loses contrast. The same effect is what I perceive when using the fogs at speed, unnecessary light makes the necessary light darker in comparison.

This also. The cinema analogy is the best way to describe it. Unnecessarily illuminating the road directly in front of you only distracts attention from the part where you should be looking.At speed I find using the fog lights distracting. They illuminate the road right in front of me, anything I see there is too late anyway. This illumination reduces my night vision, making distant objects harder to spot.
At slow speeds (ie, in fog) the close-range illumination is what I want, obviously.
I love how you two bicker like old women
/is said purely in jest, honest.

We have highways in the city.... What do you mean by speed though. I mean usually at speed here is like 110-120kph, I mean if you are going 170+ it might be somewhat different
