Defective Japanese Imports

[slofox]

Just wondering if other road users have noticed that many Japanese used import cars are defective? I have noticed two things about them:

1. Many of them seem to have no indicators fitted. Drivers change lanes, turn corners, negotiate roundabouts, all without the benefit of indicators. I wonder why LTNZ (or whatever it has changed its name to now) allows cars without indicators to enter the country??? weird.....

2. The one I have, although it is fitted with indicators, is INVISIBLE! At least to all except myself. I can see the thing but NO OTHER DRIVER ON THE ROAD CAN SEE IT! I have proven this many times by observing other drivers proceed directly into my path, right of way or not. Now I am SURE nobody would be stupid enough to do this if they could see my car, so I can only conclude that the damn thing is invisible....weirder than weird.........

Anyone else noticed this? Or am I just paranoid......

1) The Jap import cars are not generally defective, they are being driven by defective drivers, often imports themselves. (Frequently without a license...)

2) If your car is invisible use it to rob banks. (Then go buy something loud and red to be seen in....)

You can't be paranoid; nobody is watching you.

Nah you no being paranoid, all BMW's have invisible indickators too

But you should get one of these I rekon, mine works a treat!!!

if a tree crashes in the forest with no one to hear it - does it make a sound?

if an indicator can not be seen when it is turned off - does it exist?

all important questions to the modern day man, irrelevant to how the world works, but important to what kind of shit ends up on the internet

I have something loud and red to be seen ON already.....(but I can't carry ten doz wine on it so don't always use it). HOWEVER, I could probably pay for the damn thing quicker if I took your suggestion!! Thanks!

And if you drank less wine perhaps?

You are in error sir - I do not partake of wine - ever - I merely purvey same. At times it is necessary to lay in supplies for the purveyance thereof.....

And before anyone goes off about buying wine from someone who doesn't drink, I DO taste, just don't consume, like quite a few in the trade. At least this way I don't drink the profits.....AND I have spent a lifetime studying the stuff so I do know what I am on about.....I think......some of the time anyway.....maybe....ummmm...damn, what was I saying....??

Perhaps I should have used the word "bought"?
My bad.

It would go off!!!

[peasea]

It would go off!!!

I know what you mean, I've never drunk my missus and she's always going off. (In more ways than one...)

No, no no. Women should be treated like chinese fireworks.
Just run for the fookin hills.

or as my little island friends say - "Get down, get low, get out"

It's called a cloaking device. My moped has one too. Even with main beam on all the time, it's still invisible.

Spray it MATT BLACK - then everyone will see you.
This is why they had to fly a commercial airliner into the twin towers. A MATT BLACK B52 would have obvious when it attempted to leave JFK
