Default You're kidding, right?

Because how could anyone possibly give a s**t about factory fog lamps. They are simply useless. It's pathetic that he was given a ticket for having his fog lamps on, but flaming a fellow S4'er for not being happy about it is worse.

Default I ALWAYS drive with my "fog" "auxilary" whatever you want to call them on (more)

I don't use them as a sign of coolness or as a "look at me" gimmick, I use them as a safety device. I could understand if a car was driving with the high beams on, but the fogs lights, if properly amied are aimed low to the ground. I want the most light available in front of me when I drive, or else I would take out my Xenons and put in non-halogen "standard" bulbs that were commonplace 20 yrs ago. In my opinion they are a safety enhancement, since the Xenons point fairly straight ahead, the fogs are able to better light the area directly on either side of the car, important when taking tight right hand turns at night, which I have to do every day to drive home.

Default Still, it's makes you look pretty stupid when you have your fogs on and it isn't foggy...

Pontiac Grand Prix drivers seem particularly prone to doing this for some reason...

Default The response will be the same as when you ask why they nailed you for speeeding...
