I don't get it.  How can you guys get out of your car and walk away without

turning back to look at it?  I can't help myself - it's been three years,

and I still can't get over how good Baby looks :)  It seems callous to just

park and run away....



And to answer the question:

So I am visible from the rear in less than ideal conditions (rain, mostly).

The white DRLs are a heck of a lot brighter than the US parking lights at

the front anyhow, so the headlights aren't needed.  I've only left the

parking lights on once, and the (then) 6.5 year old battery started her

right up at the end of the football game....
