Cars in stealth mode. Dark colours with lights off, probably by manually turning off the auto "lights" on function.
Particularly the tunnels around Sydney airport, when my eyes are adjusting to the dim light.
Is it a social media trend?
I bet one of them is an icecream van.

I bought a 48" Walker zero turn to replace a Toro tractor style ride on mower, and it chewed the deck belt on its second outing - quickly learnt the limits on grass height and mulch kit use. $140 later and much swearing to replace the belt and it was good to go haha.
also me working out what I can & can't mow with my old JD :eek:
spent more time unblocking and unjamming than mowing for the first few months.

I see cars every week now driving down multi lane 80K+ roads with no lights on at night. I get that there are street lights, but they cant be that good for you not to realise you don't have your lights on?

Me flashing oncoming dark cars, or yelling at people at the lights. Turn.your.bloody.lights.on.

Im more than a little annoyed given the trouble I'll now have to go through to attempt to get it fixed or replaced under warranty.

Having read reviews I even took to walking the mower around by lifting the rear when not operating it to not freewheel the mechanism. **** all difference that made.

I believe technology is dumbing people down to the extent they think the car is totally automatic and the lights will turn on themselves.

Yea my ex Telstra VZ Wagon has "headlights on with ignition on" feature but it only works when it feels like it.
Last VZ I had I disconnected it.
One day I may even look at this one and disconnect it, but hey, what the heck, one day maybe.

The interior screens are lit so they can see the dash and with most streets lit up, forget the lights aren't on

Pisses me off that our work cafe pretty much always puts garlic in their dishes. I dare not touch it. So I'm now having a servo pie again.

Have you mentioned it to them that you are allergic and if they could do dishes without garlic?
