There's a lot of plastic... but it creates a lighter car, it doesn't dent as easily, and properly done, it looks just fine. Besides, all that old chrome was ostentatious.
 
I've seen pictures taken with a small point and shoot look far better than pictures taken with a Hasselblad.

Point is you can have a "supercar" but if you can't drive for shit, the end result is a bull with tits.

There, you did it! You got me cursing! 😀

I need to find some old prime lenses
 
What technology has changed radically is the tire. Old tires were just horrible. Basically a flexible turd that held air and rolled fairly straight. Try to go no+ so straight without using the binders and you hear a pop and feel a whole lot of shaking going on! 😀

A Christmas Story was dead on with the whole blowout scene.

VICTORY IS MINE! :awe:

Well, yeah, and in the sense of dealing with incompetent drivers, the old days were better - no airbags, maybe no seatbelts, no fancy crash cages, no ABS, no TCS, no AWD, no distance sensors, and above all, no FUCKING CELLPHONES.

Didn't even mention tires. Or brakes. Or suspension.

Or how about more aerodynamic modeling to reduce drag coefficients?

You start raking the windscreen back toward the driver at some radical angle. That's fine for those evil things called airplanes but a near straight windscreen is fine with me.

Long story and not enough time to chew. D:

There will be no flying cars. If you've ever used a vacuum tube transport at a drive up teller at a bank or worked as a cashier where they employ that method you have seen the future. Instead of autocars you will just lock yourself in this tube and key in the destination and be whipped there at supersonic speed. In the tubeway with ten to the negative 17 torr there exists one nitrogen atom every two kilometers so resistance is quite low.

Eventually they will use a similar method to populate naturally occurring satellites with Spanish women.
