Holy Hood Ornaments, Batman!

Wouldn't a normal person stop to see if they had hit a child, rather than an animal? Or, at least wouldn't they have had some other reaction?

I am 100% not surprised after what I see around here every week. People completely fucking oblivious to anything happening around them and acting as if they were the only vehicle on the god damned road.

I drive rural roads to commute to work and my start time is early enough that my morning drive is in the dark almost all year long. I am sick and fucking tired of drivers coming my way with their high beams on and not bothering to dip them until someone blinds them. I used to give a courtesy flash to remind them but after that being ignored one too many times now when I'm being blinded I just say FUCK IT and turn mine on full blast and leave them on until the other side gives. If they don't yield, then neither do I.

As an aside, it'd be bad ass to have a domesticated bobcat. A trip to the park would be fun.

I tried to live trap a pregnant cat with the plan to take a kitten or two off and bottle feed to raise as pets. I wasn't able to get one. Knowing what I know now I'd just have used laminated offset steeltraps. Not sure how they'd have turned out but thought a 50# cat stretched out on the porch would be a sight.

The assholes that come up behind me with highbeams piss me off. I'll turn on/off the cargo lamp a couple times and if that dont get the point across, they get 1.5 mil candle power spot.

I like the way you think. But 1.5? Hell that'll barely contract a pupil. I've got the Colossus and I'll tell you what. Anyone that's serious about having a spotlight is missing the boat if ya don't pick one of these bad boys up. This hardy fucker has an adjustable stand AND a shoulder strap. 18 MILLION CANDLE POWER OF PURE LASER LIGHT GOODNESS. This sumbitch will drop animals. It'll burn the hair off an Elk at 250 yards. You light someone up with this thing you'll either blind them for life and/or give'm a 3rd degree burn. I shit you not, best spotlight I've ever owned. And I've owned a ton of them. Just say'n.

Get one. How can't ya?

I may have to get one of those. For the record, I can assure you 1.5 mil candle will make them back way the hell off. Sometimes it takes more than once for them to fully understand, but even the most dense will eventually get it.

Oh there is no doubt 1.5 will get someone's attention. But I'm telling ya, 18 has been known to literally stagger animals on the side of the road. So I've heard/herd. Get it? lmfao

"The woman who hit the animal"
The above is a crucial part of the answer of the how/why.

I do the same thing. I often drive late down county roads and it seems like 1/6 assholes doesn't know headlight etiquette. Bothers me so fucking much I don't often flash anymore.

There's a subset there that have those fucked up non-DOT compliant HIDs. Always a surprise when I think some asshole has his brights on because he's fucking blinding me, so I kick mine on, then he turns his on and it's even fucking worse.

One of my presents to myself this year will be 8 or so LED spot lights for the hood, roof, and the rear. ~100 watts from the front or back ought to get the job done.
