Our cars are as individual as we are. It's not just the badges, but you can tell a lot by the shoes someone wears. And I'm not saying some small penis BS because I am jealous someone has more than me.. I'm just saying we buy the machine that moves us around this rock in the way that represents US and it's not just about that smooth Hyperblue, it's the short 600rpm between gears, the way it holds in a turn nearly regardess of the speed, it's tiny drag coefficient, the alien sound of an UEL header... yeah I got badges.. but they are black on blue. Because it's about so much more than just badges.

That sketch looks like it is about to be covered up by a plate of chicken fried steak, potatoes and corn-on-the-cob at a hick restaurant.

Sort of an aside, but why is it that car artists/designers always want to lower, flatten and extend every drawing they make, even when they know it doesn't really look like the real car?
Chip Foose is a good example of this. His drawings are great, but when you are using them as reference to a car you are "overhauling" why not make the proportions the same as the one you are actually working on? It's like if you hired an architect to design a house, and their elevation drawings didn't match the actual design because they thought it looked better when they showed it to you.

Looks kind of bland to me. Looks nothing like a futuristic 240z
