This one reminds me of a film.. that for the life of me I can't recall the title of - a possessed car, I think, chasing people? http://www.hotrodpartsguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/vehicle2609-1-600x425.jpg

I think, for me, the 50s and 60s was probably the golden era of automotive styling; there are some lovely cars from the 70s too, of course, but I do have a thing for the earlier stuff.

I missed the 60s by a clear decade! But I suspect I was born out of time, somehow.

all those years which came later nothing become better, all things including our life become very complicated.. although I'm a programmer I can hardly start a washing machine or dishwasher ;D
