Ferrari Mailing List: Re: I'm back..

[LS (lashdeep]

Who let this chimp back on the List?? :)

Good to have you back FG...and it has been interesting to see the changes
in some of the Listmembers.

I agree with your thoughts on the latest Ferrari shapes. The new 599 might
be one of the ugliest creations I've seen in a long while. There are many
ugly cars out there. There are cars that make me want to laugh and cry at
the same time...blending tremendous performance with atrocious styling and
lame directives (M6, CL600, etc.) I never considered the possibility of
Ferrari entering that realm, but they have...it's official with the 599. I
don't care if it drives like a Tyrrell P34 or is faster than an X-15 over
the Mojave, it's ugly.

We're getting closer to the point where society will not be able to relate
to such ugly shapes and total reaction to embrace retro shapes will come
to completion. I'll be driving a '75 F350 Crew Cab until that day comes.
