Never liked calling them low-lights... it makes me think they're the opposites of highlights.

Just goes to show how certain terms get picked up and really take off on this here interweb.  It can get a little annoying at time.

Surely though, the early Ghias set the height of the headlights and is so the base for comparison, so therefore the later Ghias should in fact be called 'higher lights', and the eirlier Ghias.... just early Ghias!

good questions danny.

it reminds me off all the younger guys in skateboarding calling a 'sad' a 'mellon'. this doesn't make any sense if you never skated, but if you did a long time ago it certainly will ring a bell. same trick different era... it seems like you have a severe case off 'Grandpa Simpsonitis'  ;D
