Can't hardly tell the diffy on or off. Worse fogs I've ever had. Hell, my "Amedicun" (American) car has better fogs.

Sorry to burst anybody's bubble, it's the only complaint I can think of about this glorius car.

Default The rear fogs are awesome. I use them all the time when people are tailgating me

it scares the begeses out of people if you flash them real fast. They suddenly fall back a good 20-35 ft.

Default You just confirmed one thing to me (flashing rear fogs)...

You don't drive your car fast enough! LOL.

Default No believe me I do, and let me explain JJ...

First, I drive my car fast enough, I got painted with laser and Ka band this weekend on the way to and back from CT from NY. Amazingly the Passport saved my azz both times, I guess the laser was not painted on me, but the car in front of me.

When I usually use the rear fogs to flash at people is when:

a) my radar is going off and people are tailgating me, i.e., I am not going to speed up and get busted because some moron is behind me w/o a clue

b) i am in congested morning transit and for some reason some maroon wants to sit 3 feet behind me while everyone does 75mph, sorry, that is not safe, ain't happening, so BTFO.

etc..

Default You know what's funny?

Most people are shocked by these. I guess rear fogs are not very common on cars, or if they are, nobody is aware of them.

Also, I do use the rear fog flash trick when I want to signal props to another S/RS4/6, or acknowledge a thumbs up from someone behind me.

With the RS4, you know by now that it can happen a lot.

That's cool; beats the hazard flash "thank you" hands down.
