I seem to notice some trends that are very disheartening. "What makes the car?"
First it was stereos. Then it was neons. Then it was tunneling with 12" rims Then it was plastichrome wheel caps. Then it was actual rims with beyond-reasonable low-profile tires. Then neons on the inside of the car. (WHAT?!?!) Then it was the size of your exahust tip (regardless of your actual tail pipe size.) Now it seems to be wings.
I should just eat a bullet now before this new gen of "styling concepts" completely destroys all that I hold dear to auto styling.
What's the next stupid trend that we should expect? I'm thinking really big hood scoops that don't actually function (similiar to what Mustangs have now...heheheh...from the factory...HAHAHAHA...) Hmmm...what else would be completely bizarre but just stupid enough to catch on??? Maybe be like the crotch-rockets and start removing body panels rather than adding?? ("We can now get more cold air to our engines") Of course, the aerodynamics go out what used to the window...
Anyone else care to predict the ugly future? Maybe we can even get some Photochopping done to see the future today!
I love my Contour to death, but my 'vette is still my #1 baby. There's money to be made in racing. I should know. I put a lot of it there. You can make a small fortune in racing. Start with a large one. How fast do you want to go...how much money do you have? You can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!
