Blind Sighted

On the way home from a service call in Magna late this afternoon, I was rather unlucky to get behind a brand-new 2008 Chevy Impala police car. I actually wish I had been in front of the car - it would have been far less painful.

Now I don't know who specified this particular car for the West Valley Police Department, but they should have their collective heads examined.You can't really tell from the above photo, but that strip between the backup lights is shiny chrome-like plastic. Driving east along 3500 South with the setting sun reflecting off that strip, honestly, it's like a bolt of light that pierces right through you, a la Raiders of the Lost Ark.

While I won't say you really need to experience this for yourself - I'd rather not hear anything from a law firm, thank you very much - but just maybe someone from WVC's motor pool or similar will see this.
