You're so right Rob, remember when retractable headlights were a mark of prestige and exclusivity? If yo' cabbie didn't have dem pop up lights...

Then the Japs cottoned on to the idea and they could do it for cheaper. The next thing, you've got 300 ZX's, RX-7's and even Mitsu Starions with pop up lights. Alas, the allure and mystique was lost overnight.
