Hey Mauve, don't listen to them, I think your car is awesome. That's what I thought when I first saw it. I would definitely drive one if I was in the market for getting a new car. For now I must continue in my rust-mobile that I got for $500. (but hey, it's never given me any problems)

Except that it has a racing stripe. Man nothing ruins a dream car than an ugly racing stripe. Otherwise, sure!

I think a Cobra's allowed to have a racing stripe though.

On anything BUT muscle cars, racing stripes look like crap, but here? I think it's okay to have one.

Certainly better than on a Volkswagen New Beetle. I wish I was making that up...

But it would be 100x better without the racing stripe. Honestly, it's horrible and ugly no matter what car it's on (at least in my opinion. It's just visually ugly to me). Maybe it's a guy thing or maybe I'm just a weirdo.

We signed up at a forum dedicated to a webcomic based on a video game.
I think we're all weirdos.

No, but seriously. The racing stripe more or less got made famous by the Cobra, as far as I know. (the old one, that is)
I don't know what people with Ford Focuses (How DO you pluralize that anyway? Focuses? Foci? Focus'?) and the aforementioned New Beetle are doing sporting one, but the Cobra deserves it. It wouldn't look good without it. It's it's heritage.

Its Foci.

And on a meta-car-related note: The fronts of cars look like faces, obviously. Now, I don't know if they do it on purpose, but you can tend to judge a car by its 'expression'.

Look at my car.

It looks all serious and angry, and the grills look like the flared nostrils of a bull about to charge.

Things like Mauve's car look all nice and congenial. They'd be your friend. My car? My car would curb stomp your ass then steal your girlfriend.

All sports cars (or fast cars in general) look pretty angry. I wonder if they do it on purpose.

Thanks. I wasn't sure about that. Right-o!

Also, yes. They do actually make sports cars look "mean" on purpose.
It's kinda like you said. Who'd buy a sports car if it looks like it would do community service on it's own free will? (Assuming a car could do that and has a free will.

)

But hey, there's an audience for sleepers - cars that perform but look ordinary. The new Taurus SHO is going to be like that. Other examples are the Pontiac G8 and Mercury Marauder.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_(car)

The cool thing to do with those is to gussy it up all nice like a Lincoln Towncar or other some such, and then when a punk with a front-wheel drive car and a stupid ostentatious wing pulls up alongside and revs all four of his puny cylinders, you put the hammer down with YOUR BIG ROMPING V8 FIRE SCREAMING OUT THE TAIL PIPE AND LAY DOWN A QUARTER MILE OF BURNING RUBBER!!!!!

HAHAHA!

In addition: the new Mazda's look stupid with that big ugly grin on their faces, and the new Corvette's mouth makes it look like a fish. BMW's adopted an aggressive tail-light design. But the all-time best aggressive car related thing was a Cadillac commercial for their HiPo sedan, the CTS-V, the ad went, "When you turn on your car, does it return the favor?"

He's like a little old English man with big horn-rimmed glasses and a fussy little moustache.

His eyebrows are all furrowed because he noticed you sipping your tea without your pinkie extended, and he's ever so upset about it!

So adowable!

Id kill for a lime green evo. or a Dark Green 2 door Wrangler, with reversed back seats.

I have the wrangler, just no drive to actually change out the seat.
