What advantage is there to turning daytime running lights off?

Agreed. In Canada DRL are u required on vehicles. When I go stateside, I notice more and more cars now have them, but I remember once upon a time it wasn’t the norm south of the border.

I find it much safer to identify cars, especially if you’re on a street with a lot of parked cars, traffic etc.

I thought this was an interesting comparison......you don't really realize how much things have grown over the years.

Ever expanding vehicles to house the ever expanding waistline of Americans. LOL, but seriously it's too bad.View attachment 438425

Now that’s a comparison!

I know that the Tahoe/Yukons have gotten bigger. I had a friend who came in to some money back in the 90’s and bought a brand new Yukon fully loaded.
That seemed like a big truck at the time but definitely smaller than the latest models from GM.

My friend's parents had an Excursion growing up, and I always remember it being this big mammoth of a vehicle and thought they'd never make anything that big again. It was based on an F250, after all. Then I got my Yukon XL and one day an Excursion parked next to it. I was blown away that they looked to be about the same size. Checked the specs and sure enough, they're nearly identical in size, the Excursion may only be an inch or two longer.

To be fair, the old one looks like it’s further back on the gravel than the newer one, so it adds to the effect of how much smaller it appears.

Based on what I learned in art class bout vanishing point, I don't think 12 to 18 inches is going to make much difference from 30 ft away. LOL. But, good catch!

12-18 inches is a lot depending on who you ask
