Yellow headlights

As I understand, just like bluing your laundry off-sets yellowing, resulting in whiter clothes (both colors being in opposite sides of the color chart), yellow headlights (or yellow foglights) are supposed to offset the bluish hue of fog and improve visibility. Bluing does work for laundry, I don't know if the act of "yellowing" fog does increase visibility.

Munich and transportation!I

I couldn't agree more on Münchens transportation systems! Great city. Everything is so accessible by the rail systems. All you have to do is take the tram to the marienplatz and bam, you can walk everywhere else pretty much!

The only place we drove to in Munich was the small town of Dachau, which I dont believe has a direct rail from Munich. But other than that, we just road the rails throughout town.

What a beautiful city too!

Nice to see a few other Audi's on here..

Here is mine playing in the rain at Watkins Glen International Raceway.

2006 Audi A6 4.2 S-Line. Second Audi so far and absolutly love it. Just turned 75K miles this month.

I don't own one of these, but....

If I ever hit the lottery I'm tracking one down and I'll probably be buried in her. This is the car that got me into cars when I was all of 5 years old. A 1958 Plymouth Fury, better known as.....Christine.

'58 Plymouth . . .

I remember a '58 Plymouth from when I was 5 too, my mother's black Belvedere four-door hardtop with a white vinyl and black brocade interior. We named it Pluto for some reason. It was replaced by a '61 Galaxie, and in this case it was the Ford that was possessed - it caught on fire twice!

Nice pic of the Audi at Watkins Glen, miele. I once spent a little quality time with another 4.2 V-8 Audi (an RS4) on some canyon roads around here. I recall it had something like 417 horsepower and certainly flew in spite of feeling rather heavy at low speeds - Audis don't tend to be light. It had a six speed gearbox but third gear was the most fun - you could drop it into third at 60 or so and nail it and Presto!, you were soon approaching 100 with a nice V-8 wail, ready to hit the brakes for the next corner so you could do it all over again.

Adding to the thread.......

I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier 4X4 Extened cab truck and my wife drives a 2004 Nissan Frontier 4X4 quad (4door) truck. Love them both! No cars at the moment - maybe another convertible in the future.

hydralique, those RS4s are FAST!

We had a few of them in the club and they would come up on me in a blink. Was always giving them "point bys."

Haven't seen many lately - most of the ones I knew were leased and have gone back. They sure are cool and have a great sound.

They are also great in the rain. They can run circles around Corvettes and Porsches then.

My Daily Driver...

....is a little 2003 Ford Ranger XL (bought it from the fleet division for less than 11K new), with the 3.0L V6 and a 5 speed manual. Other than maintenance, it has only been in the shop once in 7+ years and 50,000 miles. No pics, but I think everyone here has seen the little basic Ranger trucks. I love it for its simplicity and reliability.

I also have 1995 Ford Escort LX wagon that is such a beater now, but it still starts and roars to life easily at 200K miles. I'm going to retire it in the next year....it's been on duty since I bought it new in late '94.
