Eh? How does me suggesting that the poster holds a view of not many others mean that he's wrong? I think I stated pretty clearly that I'm sure that the car was beautiful to him. The very first reply to my original post said that this thread might be controversial because some peoples idea of beauty was different from that of others, and in reply to that I said that I didn't mind, because all though we all may not share the same view, the point of a forum is to discuss things. Personally, I don't find the S13 beautiful but if the poster wants to include it then it's fine by me. I merely expressed my opinion that it didn't match up with any of the original adjectives I'd used to classify a beautiful car.

Curves? Of course not. Elegance? Not really. Good details? Not in production form. Yet all told, it a one of the most well liked automobiles ever designed. Your original post is not an accepted descriptor of beauty (because there isn't one), so step off of your high horse.[/SIZE][/FONT]
Why is posting that car a big deal? I like the styling of the Countach, but again I wouldn't say it's beautiful to me. Oh noes! I've expressed an opinion on the internet!
"Beautiful" overlaps "sexy and mean" (wtf? How sexy applies to car doesn't even register) quite a bit. Therefore, it would be much wiser to name this thread "art cars" or something similar.
Don't quote me on the sexy thing, that's just the name of another thread in this forum. The only things sexy to me are actual women. Cars are aesthetic, beautiful, or angular, mean, ugly as sin, etc.
You are saying that I'm wrong for thinking the S13 is beautiful because you're saying it doesn't belong in this thread. What do you want from me? I posted a car that I thought was beautiful and you guys jump down my throat.
I'm
not saying you're wrong. I wouldn't even say I jumped down your throat, at least not on the subject of the car. I simply shared an opinion with another poster, and suggested that if you were going to get worked up about people giving a critique of the S13, then you might like to add your input on some of the other cars in this thread as opposed to saying that a few posters had posted "ugly" cars.
I wasn't aware that this thread's purpose was to criticize anyone's choice in the first place, so, please, speak for yourself before coming at me.
So you expect a bunch of people to post a load of pictures and nobody to comment on them? Variety is the spice of life - and people disagree on stuff. It's only natural.
Maybe you'd like to explain
why you like the S13, why you find it beautiful? On the two cars I've posted so far I've written a little about them and why I like how they look, why I think they're beautiful.
At the end of the day, I'm some guy you don't actually know at the other end of a bunch of wires - don't get so worked up if I disagree on an opinion...

And now back to the cars...
Ferrari 156 'Sharknose' Grand Prix car
In my opinion the 60s Formula One cars have always been the best looking, a balanced mid-engine design, the work of art engines out the back and a sleek cigar body at the front. As soon as wings arrived it went downhill.
The sharknose was probably my favourite, and Italian racing red never looked so good.
one of my very favs
