I have two questions:
Why on earth do the new Mercedes have turn signals in the freaking side view mirrors?!?
a.) to make the car look really goofy
b.) refer to the above answer
c.) there can be no other reason, actually
And why, oh why, when it is raining very lightly, like just enough to have the wipers on the slowest intermittent setting, do women have them on FULL BLAST as if they are going through a terrential downpour of biblical proportions?!
Does anyone have an answer to these questions?!
(yes, I'm bored, how'd ya guess...?)

the first time I saw that, a few months ago while up in dallas, I actually thought it wasn't a bad idea. tacky? I dunno, I only noticed one from a glance, but other than that, you know no one uses those turn signal thingies down here in Texas! must have been an out-of-towner.

Another question actually ... I am hoping I won't get flamed for this because it's a FACT!
Why do so many women drive in a position whereby their forehead is almost touching the windshield, like it were a pair of glasses!? Seriously, I see all these women with their seats at an angle less the 90degrees!!! WTF is up with that? Now, not all women do it ... I taught my mum to drive, so I made sure that wasn't the case.
Funniest thing I saw was a "lady" in her early 50s probably, with a tonne of makeup, dyed blonde hair, driving a black brane spanking new 911, with her chest touching the steering wheel and her glasses almost rubbing against the windscreen.
WHY?

Gentlemen, ladies, think about it. There's an aftermarket fortune to be made here in side mirror retrofit turn signals. I remember when the third brake light appeared for the first time. Numerous after-marketers came out with a third brake light kit for older cars.
The ad went something like this: "Now, your '48 Hudson Terraplane (I'm sure everyone remembers the Hudson Terraplane.) can have the modern look of a brand new Jaguar with the addition of the Ronco Third Brake Light Kit! Order yours today!" Mingster? Rick?
As for the other, maybe some chicks just don't dig intermittent wipers.
