"It gets lots of looks!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Paint chips from the road.

General comments?

So far I really like it. It's quick, sporty and decked with options. It's my first new car so I wash it about twice a week.

The one thing I dislike is that the gas pedal is a little too close to the brake. That and the fog lamps shut off when the high beams are on, and they don't turn on unless the headlights are on. I kinda thought they would come one when you just had the running lights on.. but oh well.

Other than that I like it.

I believe that in most states, it is technically illegal to have fog lights without low beam headlights. If you are using the high beam, then you don't need the benefit of the fog light beam. That's why it cuts out.

In addition to the previous comment... When you have your brights on there are a total of 4 bulbs or 4 separate filaments working, this is the legal limit. If you were able to have the fog lights on in conjunction with the brights it would be far to bright and you would endanger on-coming traffic as they would be unable to see.

On a side note, I had a friend with a ford probe GT that re-wired his fog lights to a separate switch in the cabin so that he could control them independently from the regular light switch.
