I assume we're all biased here but in spite of my bias, I too like the lines. Personally though, I think part of a positive response when seeing one is related to user experience. Likely similar to some kind of Pavlovian conditioning. Positive memories/feelings of fun etc. we have with these things are triggered when seeing one drive by.

In spite of the questionable "body work" I've done, mine still rawks. It's perfect yet flawed. Much like it's namesake IMO.
