Jack, the term used by Technostalgia is the "Rapidfire" feature, where the brake lights pulse three times within less than a second each time the circuit is energized. If the Kansas Highway Patrol cites me for improper flashing lights we'll have a very interesting discussion in court. When you study the terminology of lighting, there's a big difference between "flashing" and "pulsing", where "flashing" is at a much slower rate. I'll take my chances, just like having the headlights two or three inches too low.
