Is it just the generally poor shape that most NYC cabs are in, or does the
Chevy Caprice have the worst headlights around?  It's so bad that I can't
even use the sidemirrors if I have a Caprice following me.  I think I'd
rather have a Bubba in a jacked up droF truck with Hella on the bumper and
the roof folling me rather than a Caprice.
Ob Audi Content-I haven't done much night driving in the boonies with the 
A4 yet.  How do their lights do when they're not being assisted by other
vehicles, street lights, full moon on snow, etc?
