as hell. Just my opinion. If it's anywhere near dusk or anything, I turn the lights on for safety though, don't worry.

I had a '98 Chevy Cavalier with DRLs, and it annoyed me to no end. I always had people telling me that my lights were on, etc. I think they look dumb, and don't add all that much to the safety factor.

Mind posting a link to those studies? I think it'd be interesting reading.
Here's a link to an IIHS FAQ on DRL's:

Nearly all published reports indicate DRLs reduce multiple-vehicle daytime crashes. Evidence about DRL effects on crashes comes from studies conducted in Scandinavia, Canada, and the United States
