Just incase someone thinks that popup lights are bad for pedestrians...

[E31]

I was at Countryside mall returning some items and to my surprise, I see this crap. Now I know how bad popup light are really. I am 6 foot tall and the bumper would hit my chest, so the bumper is 4 to 5 feet off the ground. So the other 2 bumpers would crush my hips and the truck's "trailer hitch balls" would shatter my knee caps. So DOT lets this pile of crap run around and I can't have popup lights? Come on.....

Not to mention the fact that those idiots put those eBay HID kits in their trucks. That's REAL fun. At least the Hondas w/ those kits are LOWERED.

[BallsDeepAsian350]

Haha, death by testicles.

By the way dude, do you take McMullen booth alot? I swear I see you everytime I take that road to class or something.

[JonnyChimpO]

ya, saw that truck on tampa road.

[944attack]

wow, what an ass-ugly truck. :puke:

i totally agree about the pop up headlights vs. jacked up truck though.


im not sure if they banned pop-up headlights because of pedestrian injuries though, that just seems WAY too rediculous to even comprehend. :jerkit: :nuts:


:autobunny: < notice the red car does NOT have pop-up headlights. :D

[E31]

FLAsian...I do go that way a lot, I work in new port richey, so I go down McMullen every morning.

[BallsDeepAsian350]

I live in NPR....everytime I see you you're on the phone and your wearing a blue shirt.

[Roy]

taking up two spots..

[kelso]

looks almost like he's taking 4 actually...
lol@ death by testicles remark:lmao:

[LDadrenaline]

wow, they definately should have a limit for those trucks.... i know headlights cant be below a certain height, but cmon....headlights that high are worse

[kelso]

there is a milit, but a large majority of cops are "good ol boys" who have trucks just as big. so they dont see the problem with it

[SlickShift]

I f*ckin' hate those trucks with the "trailer hitch balls." I guess it compensates for the balls the owners are lacking. I also hate how they don't adjust their headlights so they blind you while you're driving. [/vent]

[AzzMan]

Did no one notice the fact taht on the side of the truck it says "All jacked up?"

ROTF! Worst truck ever. How the hell are popups bad for pedestrians though? Just teaches em a bigger lesson if they get in your way.

[E31]

He thought he was cool doing it i guess....notice the flames coming off the pumpkin (rear diff)?

[Mr.bimmerPuck]

I saw that thing by walmart that truck is a beast

[AwesomeBMW]

lets put it this way, the trucks on either side of that one (Chevy Silverado Duelly (spelling) and Toyota Tundra) are plenty of truck(s) for me...

[944attack]

:ditto:

great to see how it also takes up 2 parking spaces.

Gangsta pop-ups :autobunny:

[E31]

That flaming 8 is awesome. Was it from a Cannonball race? I want to flame my rear bumper off now.

[TheDarkSide]

:lol:

[robmpulse]

when did they ban pop-up lights?!?!?!?!?!?!

[AzzMan]

What's all this about banning popups? I know they don't make them on production cars today, but is there something I'm missing about older ones?

[TheDarkSide]

Yeah, unsafe. :jerkit:

[OutKasted1]

This is funny. I have never heard about pop up lights and "pedestrian killers" since today. I was reading European Car magazine and saw a blurb on it and was wondering what they meant, and now I see it on here. So anyone care to fill me in on what I have been out of the loop on? I have never heard of this before but am curious the reasoning behind the ban that I just found out about as well now that I am trying to place any car with pop ups that has been recent with no luck.

[DeafBimmerDude007]

i fuckin hate that truck to be that high.

fuck that truck owners:chair:

i hate it when they were behind me bc u never know if theyre gonna run over me. its pretty scary everytime when theyre behind me man


they suck big monkey balls:mad:

[DeafBimmerDude007]

i've never heard of pop up light before either
what is it?? and why does it have to be ban?

[TheDarkSide]

Pop up lights have been outlawed by legislation. That is why the Vette and NSX made the change.

[DeafBimmerDude007]

what is pop lights?? i've never heard of it though
if u dont mind, can u show me the picture of poplights?? what the poplights do?

[Benzgirl]

Hmm, so the question is, what do you do if your car has pop-up lights?

[TheDarkSide]

you are grandfathered in. sort of like not having seat belts/airbags in older cars.

[Hodge]

I hate these damn redneck-style trucks. We have them all around here, and they piss me off. They always ride right on your ass, so even if you had to brake really fast, they'd just run you over and keep driving. They always drive so crappy too, ducking in and out of traffic like they have a Ferrari (or rather BMW, Audi, VW, Porsche, etc).

:shrug: But hey, what can we do? They ban pop-ups (that which I have never heard of before) but they don't ban trucks that are completely unsafe and would flip over so easily causing huge accidents. Oh well, that's the legislature for ya!

[TheDarkSide]

I guess death by pop up lights would be too painful of a death. Hit and completely crushed by super swampers is a lot more humane.

[ci-shark]

:D If pop-ups are bad for pedestrians, all the better reason they should not jump in front of me:lmao:

[TheDarkSide]

Good call :cheers:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[AzzMan]

God, I didn't know they actually banned popups.

But you did say older cars are grandfathered in right? So there's no problems with NA Miatas, AW11/SW20 MR2s, 1st gen NSXs, etc? All well and good?

[944attack]

yes all are fine. and if they werent, i would still use them anyway.

[Orion ZyGarian]

2003 was the last year they were produced new...Lotus Esprit...

Coincidentally, all 4 of my cars have had popup lights. If I leave the lights on by accident in a car, its because it doesnt have popup lights that take up half of my vision when they are up http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/tamparacing/smiles/laugh.gif

But hey, my headlights are really freakin clean though. I never have to worry about cleaning them or anything. Which is kinda funny in that my Supra has headlight washers (you can see them right below my headlights in my sig)! http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/tamparacing/smiles/laugh.gif

Hahaha come on dude I like that smilie...do you not like TR that much such that I cant even steal some bandwidth off of them? :50:

[TheDarkSide]

haha, yeah I will let is slide I guess :cheers:

[944attack]

i thoght the last year for pop-ups was like 04 or 05??? when was the last year the C5 vette was made?

[Orion ZyGarian]

Oops, my bad, the year is 2004. Both the Espirt and the C5 had their finally models in this production year
