Exactly. I like the appearance of the traditional lenses w/brighter output that requires less power draw (thus heat). Same thing for headlights as well. I do not care for the 'retro' LED front lighting that alters from the old-school headlight look. Absolutely no Halo style.....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
