love at first sight
Re: love at first sight
and, speaking of great styles (like our crossie, that was designed at chrysler, by chrysler designers), there were other fantastic designs by chrysler...

Re: love at first sight
In baseball, you can strike out in basically one of two ways: swinging and missing or staring down a pitch right in the strike zone without swinging. (Yes, there's foul tips and dropped third strikes, but don't bother me with details while I'm trying to make a point.) To my Little League coach, the latter amounted to essentially a sin against Babe Ruth and all that is holy in Cooperstown - ya gotta stop thinking, take the chance, and get that Louisville Slugger off your shoulder rather than trudge back to the dugout wondering what might have been.
Similarly, carmakers can strike out either by releasing a vehicle that misses the mark entirely or by failing to produce a vehicle that would've sold in bonkers numbers, gone on to define an entire segment, and established that company as a leader among its peers. (Nobody on that long walk back to the dugout envisions themselves swinging at that called third strike and hitting a foul ball or a dribbler back to the pitcher - it's always a game-winning home run, right?) So let's take a moment today to consider which carmakers passed on the biggest missed opportunities over the years.

Re: love at first sight
good to hear. i am happy to belong to that generation when we witnessed the grand era of beautiful cars and the creativity that we no longer see.
and now with all those rules of safety that for instance dont let have hood ornaments and force the shapes to be ugly. but still we can recall all those wonderful cars.
still we are fortunate to own the crossie, as elegant as the bentleys, and even better looking.

My son-in-law is a Batman freak....he might really like this. But nope, not me.
That red french car is breathtaking at first, but the longer I look at it the more out of proportion it looks. But it will draw a crowd at the burger joint for sure.
