    Cheer up! You can see photos of the dark side of the moon taken by lunar spacecraft, or listen to the album by Pink Floyd! For your brake lights, I'll send over my neighbor!

    I note that a couple of photos from Toyota's marketing material have already been posted.

    My method of checking both front and rear lights is to pull up perpendicular to the show window of a closed shop in a shopping center. It's easy to see the reflection of your light pattern of the front of your car and, less easy but possible, to see the rear light pattern in your mirrors when you back in. Or use your back-up TV camera, and the reflection then will also show the back-up lights being on.

    Good idea then you can also test out the ICS system at the same time to see if it reduces the impact speed when backing into the table. If it knocks your phone off the table and breaks it, then you know you need to schedule an appointment at the dealer to check out the ICS. Unfortunately you won't be able to call to make the appointment.

    I remember this thing called a pigeon. You tied a note to its leg and sent it on its way. I guess luck got it to the right address each time.

    The cars are dirty because the Pigeons flew over them.

    I found a magnetic surface to stick my phone too so I could take pictures. So in order braking, backing up, backing up and braking, braking with the car off, driving normally.

    In Ma my car failed inspection with a license plate holder like that.

    It covers the top part of the plate.

    But at least the inspector took the cover off the plate,passed the car, and handed me the covers after the inspection.
    Instead of failing me, and making me come back.

    Very nice of you to fulfill the request !

    Not sure why they would care too much. The only thing the plate is covering is a couple millimeters of blue. The state name and majority of the state colors are visible. Around here, you're lucky if you can even read people's plates. They're either covered in mud and dirt or the letters are entirely rubbed/faded to white. Lol we no longer use registration stickers so those aren't there either

    Never will, either, since there is no dark side of the moon.
