that orange paint might actually improve its weather resistance

    Have you ever seen one in person? I have, and at the wrong angle, that shiny stainless steel reflects the sun just about as much as a mirror does, blinding other drivers and pedestrians at certain angles.

    So if anything, a paint job of any sort, vandalism or not, only serves to make them ever so slightly safer...

    I've seen a single one. It was in the oncoming lane and honestly I and didn't even process it as a vehicle at first. My first thought was that it was the bumper of a semi.

    Oof, damn. I can totally understand what you mean there. I never thought of it quite like that, the one I saw wasn't while driving, they just happened to park behind us at our city park and I got a couple photos.

    So I had a chance to walk around it for a good camera angle. But yes indeed, bad angles are extremely blinding.

    But now you got me sorta scared to see one while actually driving..
