Isn't she precious in this shot, taken earlier today at the Willow Run Airport Air Show? She's wearing a sticker she plastered on her head, a sticker for an animal charity that Jenni supports, and Chey loves animals. Needless to say, removal of this sticker was a bit painful, so I was told.
Now that I've dolled you all up on the nice things in life, back to the title of the article.
Up to today, there are two cars whose designs I have historically considered to be totally ugly:
... and the Chrysler PT Cruiser (which I dub a funeral hearse)
Lo and behold, from the same civilization that provided fake and unbearably ugly "city" facades on certain Meijer's stores, here comes the latest design from Honda: the "Element":
As in, which of these elements are not like the others?
Since when has a boxy car been cool again? Grown-ups lament about the return of bell-bottoms as a fashion trend... I thought boxy cars were gone in the early 1980s with the advent of aero-dynamic cars with smoother curves and more pleasant appearances.
It seems as if they're back again, bent on outdoing the Type-2 VW. This picture is only passable to me because of the angle it's taken at. The one I saw at Krogers an hour ago I saw from the left rear - you want to talk about industrial-strength hearse? It's as if a king-sized set of Lego bricks acquired an engine and motored out of the kids' bedroom (as we know, Legos cannot be claimed as aero-dynamic in looks, so you get the picture).
Who on God's green earth would want to drive one of these, let alone be proud of owning one? I saw this one, and I swear I nearly bumped into the cart corral.
I guess the moral of this one for the failed art students in the world is this: you've got a shot to make up for past failures!
