This one seems sorta politically incorrect or somethin. I can wear my neon green Driveshaft Through the Skull T-shirt anywhere really. School, hockey games, the garage when I'm working on the Tempo.
But I think I could offend people by showing up in a Shabbat Shalom M F R shirt.
@Ford Tempo Fanatic: On the other hand, if it was a Shabbat Shalom MotherFcukeR shirt, I have no doubt it would be readily available at a horrifying shopping mall near you.
@Ford Tempo Fanatic: how, my tempo-enthusiastic friend, how you not gotten a jalopnik brand heart-clicky before now?(my character map isn't working right now, 'tm' shows up as 'ä'... so i want to let mr. wert know that i'm trying not to infringe upon trade-mark issues... i just can't use the symbol right now, sorry.... i blame nibbles)
@skaycog: Clearly it needs to not only be a quilt, but then turned into a snuggie, so that you could comfortably wear that much awesomeness and not get cold reaching for the remote. #tshirt
@Murilee Martin: Old t-shirts get stretchy and stretchy stuff doesn't work well on quilts. I had an old collection of 60s/early 70s Fender t-shirts--Fender has brought back some of them, but not all of them, strangely enough. We tried various ways to save them but the only one left is "The World's Favorite Love Machine" with some cartoonish birds and bees on it--after seeing the rest fail as pillows, throws and such, I can tell you that this kind of material is really made for t-shirts, period and I'm glad I didn't risk the "Love Machine" one, which is currently in hiding in the bottom of a drawer. #tshirt
@LTDScott: Have you looked in a mirror? Are you wearing it? If not, wow, you should never have taken that off. Way too cool. With "cool" meaning of course "clever, neat, and demented." #tshirt
You know what they say: If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features.
This is a thoughtful feature, but, from an engineer who occasionally designs user interfaces, this seems to be another case of 'user interface designed by an engineer'. 'On' and 'Off' aren't very descriptive of what's going on here, you turn headlights on and off, but you don't convert them on and off, you convert them from right hand to left hand or some such... and if you've got a fancy digital readout able to show whatever you please, don't make me dig out the manual just to translate 'on' and 'off' to something tangible.
Dilbert's head turned inside out from too much time on a UI designed by an engineer. I try to remember this while I'm working, Audi should do the same.
Um, i'm sorry if this is a repost, but aren't the differences between US and euro code headlights a bit more than that?
as far as i know, euro code headlights have a very distinct horizontal cut-off with a tiny amount of light directed up and to the side to illuminate signs but not blind people.
whereas the US headlights just have the driver's side turned down a bit and a small amount of light is still directed above the car's driving plane to illuminate overhead signs. (not just to the side)
@bradleysoken: Things may have changed with the advent of HID lighting, I don't know. I do know that you are correct about beam patterns on incandescent bulbs and their headlight glass. The European beam pattern is far superior. I replaced my MkII Jetta's wimpy rectangular lights with quad rounds (this is a very common conversion). I went from a total of 120 watts to 400 watts at high beam. Those flamethowers were very useful for dodging deer at highway speeds.
I bet out of all super cars the Audi R8 is loved exceptionally by females compared to other makers. Guys would never read the drivers manual in detail and thus would never have cared about this option.
meh the E39 has little metal handles to flick the beam over, covered with special little clear plastic caps. So much more drama to lift the lid and ceremoniously flick over the lights from left to right. Going in through some ipod menu is soo much less fun.

I have two suggestions for your T-shirts:
l. Tape or pin them to your garage walls.
2. Have some quilts made from them. Then you could raffle them off and donate proceeds to charity. #tshirt

You could probably start an internet T-shirt business with these designs and do handsomely with it. #tshirt

Neat feature though.
