Very cool, thanks for posting that, I’ll have to add that to my playlist. To be honest, despite the criticisms given to some ‘70s music, there were so many great, well-written songs and incredible talent with a wide range of instruments. Growing up in the ‘80s, I do naturally gravitate towards a lot of new-wavy stuff, but there are so many gems like these which I haven’t heard since... Ever.

"Angry Eyes" live on the album "On Stage" by Loggins and Messina was a great track. The musicians on that record were really sharp.

I find some taillight designs do look good but I don’t care for the “angry eyes” look of headlights these days. Why be so aggressive? Peter Sent from

Rick Moseley Agreed Peter. "Form following Function" seems to have given way to "because we can". One of my pass-times when traveling public roads is to look for the outlandish cut-outs, creases and voids in modern bodywork that are then
filled with segments of head and tail light bodies. Makes you wonder if a major proponent of the legal drug movement were car designers. I got a laugh at the marketing wanks "Eye Catching Design" on the new Honda Clarity... certainly a design by committee with 5 groups getting
a piece of the car and none of them allowed to see what the others were doing. On Sunday, September 5, 2021, 10:38:31 PM PDT, Peter Rychel <dino308gt4 [at] hotmail.com> wrote:
My impression of car design nowadays is that they’ve run out of ideas and are just doing outlandish for outlandish’s
sakes. You could get away with that back in the ‘80s as it was that last coke-fueled hoorah left over from the 1970s spaceship school of design.
It’s why I really appreciate the look of the new Roma. It’s a really nice clean shape that introduces new features
to the traditional elements that (maybe) Ferrari had been hanging onto for too long. Without all of the extra stuff that seems to have become de rigueur (slats, slashes, scoops, creases, etc). This car has really grown on me in just a short time since it’s
introduction. My Mondial gets compliments every time I park it somewhere. People are shocked when I tell them it’s 32 years old... Peter

Douglas Anderson Lash posted “All wonderful designers and shapes.” List Good list Lash . . . Sports car design in general – lets take Porsche and Ferrari as sports cars on the same continuum. Porsche does it’s “Form Follows Function” schtick and says “like it or leave it.” Ferrari designs the sexist most bodacious beauty’s and then asks – where do we put the gas tank(s)?
Passengers? Luggage . . . . Gotta love our 308GTS, exceptin’ for changing sparkplugs, carrying Hershey bars in my luggage, doing
a suspension over haul . . . . Cheers Doug _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ |
