Why are square headlights an improvement?

I disagree, I have not had to give my '91 Camper that much attention that
I would consider it excessive at all.  Unless you consider washing it
frequently 'excessive attention'.  It's true that the heads eventually
need new gaskets, but that's not a frequent task.

I change the oil every 2,500 miles and every 30K do the tune-up thing.
At 108K miles, I'm still waiting for my first head gasket leak.  I drive
mine daily and don't really understand why you say they 'all' need
alot of attention?

I'm not trying get your or anyone elses dander up here, I just don't
understand your two comments.
