I was going to make a political post, then I realized that I don’t care, you don’t care, and hot damn do I hate political discussions on Oppo. So have a Sonett III instead, the only car I’d buy with pop-up headlights.

I love the Sonnet but... It’s one of the few pop-up headlight having cars I think would look better without pop-ups. They look so tacked-on

A neighbor of mine used to have a Sonett.

All cars look like their pop-ups are tacked on*.

*Not true, but close enough.

I’m a bit jealous.

Disagree. A lot of them work with the design of the car, and in cases where aftermarket blanking plates or projector headlights are available.... The pop-ups look MUCH better. But the Sonnet? Remove pop-ups, install new hood covering old pop-up section as well and BAM. Much better looking.

It’s so cold. I’m not used to this. I take it Regina is also frozen solid?

Yeah, 40 winters on the prairies, still not used to it.

That’s so cute. I like it.

I specifically did not watch the big sotu address everyone is posting about. It’s just marketing, as it always has been.

The Saab and the Pontiac behind it are both way cooler than political discussions.

I love it. If I ever find one and have the money for it, I don’t know if “no” is a possible answer.

Don’t know, don’t care. I get that American politics are important, and that this blog has mainly American users, but holy crap the bellyaching from everyone is tiring.

2019 Canadian election: Saab v. Pontiac v. Elizabeth May.

I see your ‘only car I’d buy with popup headlights’ and raise you one Lancia Stratos (if you had the financial means, of course). :P

The lack of financial means and fear of damaging such an esteemed car keep it off my list.

Bring back Pontiac!

Yeah I’ve watched a few in the past and they’re silly regardless of who’s talking.

I do care about train wrecks, so I very much would’ve wanted you to make a political post :)

The shitfight has been ongoing since 1776, it’s just they’ve gotten louder over time.

The issue is them becoming trainwrecks.

Scary agrees with everything you said minus the pop up headlight part. Pop Up headlights ftw

CB disagrees but respects your opinion.

THANK YOU!

Even if I wanted to read political rants on the Internet, this would be nearly the last place on Earth I’d go.

Of course, it isn’t hard to just scroll past and not click, if other people want to come on here to talk about that stuff, I guess its fine.

Here are many many more cars which I would buy with pop up head lights.

Yeah, but then people make posts about the post and it’s all a mess.

It does get out of hand. I’ve blocked any number of very fine people on Facebook, on both sides, because I don’t want to be constantly bombarded. I know where it is if I want it, don’t stick it in my face when I’m not looking for it.

Yeah, but then you remember that the people throwing playground insults at each other are usually adults with the ability to decide the future political direction of the country, which is a little worrying.

Oh come on. X1/9, NA Miata, C3 Vette, is have any of those if I was in a cheap mood. And don’t even get me started on the 70s exotica: practically every poster I had on my wall as a teenager featured popups (or boobies- or both).

But Saab never went away.

They make the 900 and 9000 for the current model year.
