Am I the only one who still likes pop-up headlights?

I think pop-ups are cool, I've had 2 cars with them, and I think it's cool having something at the end of the hood to look at while you're driving (kind of like a hood ornament, which kinda helps you "point" the car). This is the main reason I'm dissapointed with the C6 Corvette, they ditched the pop-ups and installed those ugly beady-eyes. They remind me of all the teenagers who take their cheap hatchback and replace their stock headlights with a "kustom" beady-eye kit.

Yes, I happen to think you're stuck in the late 80's or early 90's..

I think this because every bike and car that you think is nice, I thought was cool when I was 10.

I'm not a fan of pop ups on any car. The C6 Corvette looks bad ass. I was also never a fan of the hideaway headlights on the 68 camaro either.

So the bikes you thought were cool when you were 10 didn't have any influence on you?

No.. I was 10.

I don't like the bands I liked then, don't like the cars I liked then.

IMHO, there was a period for about 10 years where every single thing made was hideous and needlessly "loud" looking.

I don't like fluorescent colored bikes, I don't like car headlights on bikes, and I like to see the engine on a bike.

The only thing I liked at 10 that I still like now are boobies and cartoons.

When I was 10 I liked boobies, Get Smart, Trans Ams and Yamaha Seca Turbos.

I still like all of them.

Is it our fault you grew up 10 years too late?

depends on the car.

All pop-up headlights suck when the motor goes.
