I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

oh my god!

Struyk met up with a vehicle with spinners at a two-way stop, and he thought the vehicle was still moving. He said it caused him to slam on his breaks and lose control of his car.


you gotta be kidding me!

His statement is very controdictive. He says he met up with a vehicle at a stop, but yet needed to slam on his brakes. You should already be driving slow enough where slamming on your brakes isn't necessary.

I seriously wondered when that would happen considering that any of those stupid lights are illegal due to them being a distraction to other drivers.

Talk about an overreaction! I'm not a big fan of spinners, but I wouldn't want to see them banned without a *good* reason (and I can't think of a good reason why they'd be dangerous). If a state is allowed to ban something auto-related for being a distraction, how far will they go to rid the roadways of other "distractions"? Bright paint, large wheels, loud exhausts, hell shiny intercoolers? Where will it end?

I think you're going a little overboard, but I know what you're saying. In Pennsylvania, you can't drive with neons lit or any strobes going. Those stupid led tire lights are illegal too. They're all illegal under the distraction idea. I don't know if spinners are as much of a distraction as every light strobing on a vehicle, but I knew that someone would say that they were eventually.
