Default Sure sign of an Audi n00b

I was driving home from work tonight, and in front of me was an A4 cabrio with its <b>rear fog light</b> on. It was a perfectly clear night and still plenty of light in the sky, so there was no need to have one's <b>front</b> fogs on, let alone the rear. If I had a dollar for each of the times I've seen this, I'd be rich. I guess there are a lot of clueless Audi owners out there.

Must have ALL dash lights on as possible. I disconnected the harness from the switch on my MiL's A6.

Default It surprisingly keeps people off my ***

Drivers around here for the most part are too dumb to realize what it is.

Default I see it all the time from Audi and MB drivers...

that said I run my front fogs on all the time.

During the day I run fogs with no headlights.

At night I run fogs + headlights.

Default when peope tailgate me, I turn on the rear fogs to annoy them, but don't use them>

unless it raining hard and I'm on the highway.

I use my lights per the conditions and rarely use the front fogs unless warranted.
