Are there any more pictures like this? Modern cars with popups?
popups are objectively shit
they got killed because there is no reason to have them
I would buy that car
Would this be legal if you made it yourself?
Cause I'd fucking do it
this its just another thing that can go wrong
no
Start stealing them off firebirds
Only thing keeping them from being catfish
dawww it looks so happy
wow I almost like that thing now
sports cars look best when they had hidden lights
take for example how great the NSX looked until they got rid of them
thats why I like the design of the new one, it's chinky lights sort of just blend into the grille and it looks like the original hidden-light NSX
Would it be possible to put popups on a car like ?
There are many things on cars that you don't need to have
and most of them improve a car
popups have 0 objective pros
now configure pop up headlights here.
But a lot of them are to make the car look better
You twat
not objective
and popups look awful
What if we get rid of all the things on a car that are meant to make it look better
We don't need them, right?
most cars have what they need and not much else
if there are aesthetic features its not as much of a setback as popups
what is it like to have such objectively shit taste?
something tells me you realize the answer better than I will ever know
no problem, enjoy not having to replace those motors when your car starts blinking like a gay man signaling his boypussy is ready to be plowed
There is no reason it would be illegal. As long as it passes inspection, it's fine. A dune buggy can pass inspection with no doors or a roof. If you want to experience what it's like with "pop up lights" just glue two 6x6 blocks of wood to your hood and enjoy how fucked your aerodynamics are...
I think he means technically
You can do it and no one will stop you but there was a bill or something passed stating its unsafe to pedestrians because if they get hit with a pop up headlight car itll hurt more
Which you can say is retarded because id thinking getting hit with a car is gonna hurt no later what boner its got
Honestly, I can't think of any popups that I like that aren't on 80s wedgeboxes. They work really well on them, but on everything else it seems out of place when they're up.
>muh tagumeeh animu
>le popups look of le good
Fuck off y'all.
...
This.
Pop-up lights are shit, they brake, they add extra weight and shit on aerodynamics.
>they brake
That actually is kinda cute and I'd drive it.
I tried.
>brake
I love it when retards try to use words like a big person
>most cars have what they need and not much else
HAHAHAHAHA
Freezing rain killed pop-up lights.
cool opinions, into the trash they go
>most cars have what they need
i didn't realize useless safety """"features"""" & bullshit technology were what cars needed
kill yourself
>n-nobody cares about safety
>everybody wants to kill themselves like me
I'm sorry, user. You're retarded.
Yet we're the ones where you can buy this thing new from the factory, while in America everything is a blob with 18 airbags and a reverse camera.
Cars don't need plastic panels everywhere. There's a ton of shit on the car, especially the interior, that's purely aesthetic.
You can literally buy a Caterham any day in America
They're using a loophole for kit cars and sell them without drivetrains. At that point they're not new production cars.
Nah, they offer the entire thing as a "kit" engine and all
The beauty is the classification means you can do whatever the fuck you want to your car
My friend got his Ultima GTR like that and he never has to smog it while living in commiefornia of all places
america has harsher car safety laws, dumb burger
Plus lets not forget you are sue-happy fags and that means pop-ups failing means huge liability
pop up headlights have always been shit
...
it was faggy yurop that implemented pedestrian safety shit that killed off pop ups for the rest of the world, yurocuck. Literally nothing good comes out of your shit continent. We should've nuked you guys instead
>shitty opinion
cringe
Pop up headlights are a fad with ricers born in the 80s and 90s who watch too much top gear and anime
prove me wrong
Nuke us.
You'll be left with incredebly shitty american cars and amazing japanese cars and no inbetween.
>This asshurt his m3 got BTFO by a Cadillac
You know you can leave them open when you turn the car off, and wind them up manually, right?
I can't tell if you're being ironic or are just this severely mentally retarded
Yeah GM really cared about the 5 yuropeans that buy a corvette
>You know you can leave them open when you turn the car off, and wind them up manually, right?
Sounds like an awesome thing to do in freezing rain
It never did tho
>Being this retarded
slate.com
Euro laws do not ban pop-ups it states the front end should be more doformable, unlike US laws, which strictly ban concealed lights
Dumb ameriburger, no wonder Trump won
>corvette is the only car ever with popup lights
have you ever gone outside?
Worth it for having popups when it's not freezing rain.
Also you could just not put them down if you're expecting rain/snow/ice etc.
What other american cars with popups were sold in yurop?
You might be able to build a one-off car with popups
this is why the US Spec Citroen DS doesn't have the plastic covers over the headlights
are you trying to meme on me? the source you provided literally says the complete opposite of what you said
>Headlamp concealment devices are still legal, and regulations for manufacturing them can be found under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Standard No. 108.
>STILL LEGAL IN THE US
>What’s changed in the last decade have been European design laws requiring the front end of cars to be more readily deformable—a move intended to protect pedestrians in case of a crash.
>YUROP DESIGN LAWS
>YUROP READING COMPREHENSION
Would buy
>"Although the EU rulings don’t govern cars in the United States, auto manufacturers operate globally, so the diminished global desire for hidden headlamps has affected our bumpers too"
>Blame Europe for globalisation.
That's a first...
Besides, it doesn't say pop-up headlights are illegal in Europe, it says it's difficult to work around the laws so they stopped it. I think you're getting angry for the sake of it.
Wow, americans are unironically this fucking stupid!
> “Whenever any malfunction occurs in a component that controls or conducts power for the actuation of the concealment device, each closed headlamp concealment device shall be capable of being fully opened by a means not requiring the use of any tools. Thereafter, the headlamp concealment device must remain fully opened until intentionally closed.”)
American regulations dictate thqt the fixed position of a "pop-up" headlight must be the open posiion, basically a "pop-down" headlight. A proper "pop-up" headlight is illegal to maufacture in the US
Wow, americans are fucking retarded, but you take it to a whole new level
And its actually illegal in the us to make pop-ups lol!
lol holy shit you're one dumb yuro. That says that if the electronics of a car dies out, then the pop up lights should be able to be manually opened without any special tools
inb4 "jokes on u i was only pretending to be retarded"
jokes on u i was only pretending to be retarded
All that corn syrup and fluor has madem you literally fucking braindead
>the headlamp concealment device must remain fully opened until intentionally closed.
>Must remain fully opened until intentionally closed
>Open until closed
This means the default position of the lamp must be the opened one, basically a pop-down lamp
Reading is hard!
in the event of an electronic failure, it has to be able to be manually opened, and must be able to stay open without electricity until you manually close it
i havent done this much 'tard-splaining since i used to work with autistic children
That is a second clause you inbreed retard, the default poistion of the headlamp must be an opened one, this means pop ups are banned, you can only build pop downs, which are headlights that, by default, are in the open position
Moreover, your initial claim was that european regulations prohibited pup ups, and yet here we are, trying to help your retarded brain how retarded american regulations prohibit the use of pop ups. European regulations do not have any special clause about pop ups
I mean, i am not surprised you are this retarded, but damn, were youmdropped as a child?
you're trying to meme on me but it's not working. I'm done replying to you. Don't bother typing up a response because I will not read it. I repeat, don't even reply because I will not read whatever you respond back. Go meme somewhere else
>Ragequit
Stay btfo ameribetic, there are no european regulations against pop-ups, while they are strictly forbidden in dumbfuckistan
just letting you know I didn't read your response. The clauses are clearly worded for anyone who isn't a retard and it's clearly yurop's fault that pop up's died. To re-iterate, I did NOT read whatever you wrote. Also I wont read any reply to this post either. America is the greatest
>American confess he is illiterate
Top kek!
i love pop ups but HOLY SHIT they look SO BAD on these
are pop-down headlites illegal in yurop 2fast2furiosa?
>this
Pop-ups are stupid. They add weight and mechanical complexity where none is required.
(From the mouths of spergs)
>European design laws requiring the front end of cars to be more readily deformable
It wouldn't matter how they pop because deformability is the concern
