    closed road.

    not professional driver... hence the lack of sliding through corners.

    @smrtypants44: Might have had auto-headlights.

    I know the auto-lights on my '99 Grand Vitara turned themselves on and off when going from sun to the shade of a cliff. This was on US285 in CO, and it bugged the living hell outta me. This wasn't at dusk/dawn, either, but middle of the afternoon.

    Disconnected them within a week of ownership. DRL's followed shortly thereafter.

    #tips 1985 seems a bit early for dusk sensing headlights, but this is Europe so who knows...

    @smrtypants44: The '85 RWD Fleetwood I used to own had both auto-headlights and a really poorly-conceived idea on automatic high beam use.

    The theory was oncoming traffic lights would shine on the sensor, telling it there's oncoming traffic. However, this sensitivity was adjustable by the "driver", and minimum sensitivity required a 500,000 CP Q-beam held six inches away to make it dim.

    /now understands why cars of that era have high beams on all the time

    @smrtypants44: my 1986 200sx doesn't have automatic lights, but it does have rain sensing wipers. there's a little piezo sensor on the trailing edge of the hood. before the car was LeMons-ized I drove it as a daily for several months, and the rain sensing wipers worked pretty good, probably at least as good as the more complex system in my '05 mini.

    @skaycog was here: What, you mean combining images like that? No, it's not difficult at all for simple stuff like this, but for more convincing/realistic things, you have to have some pretty good skills at it (which I don't).

    @skaycog was here: No, It's not Photoshop in this case... it's Microsoft Image Composer, which came free packaged in with something I bought - can't remember what. Maybe some version of Office. But, yeah, most people do use Photoshop for this sort of stuff.
