What do you think I'm spouting, fact?

Again, you think your opinion can't be called into question or insulted, yet you're doing exxactly that by insulting the artists OPINION of what a modern interpretartion of the E type would look like.

Hypocritical at best.

I don't think 2o6 has been incoherent at all actually

Actualy he's been disengenuous, at best. And hypocritical.

QuoteNor do I see what his "experience" has to do with the validity of his opinion. If he agreed w/you his opinion would be no more or less valid

If you don't think knowledge and experience has anything to do with validity of an opinion, especially when discussing technical aspects of a trade, like design, then you obviously don't think that school is important, as it's very obvious that you think forming a quick opinion is way more important than knowing what you're TALKING ABOUT.

Shit, why don't you become a doctor? I mean, you obviously can form a quick opinion on medicine, therefore your opinion on any medical procedure is JUST AS VALID as any experienced doctor, and I'm sure they'll listen to you talk about the latest heart transplant procedure. Lawyers can make a lot of money, too. I can form an opinion on law. That should get me past the bar, right?

Do you actually think before you type?

Obviously neither can you as you had to post, too.

Fuck off, hypocrite.

And as you so well know about the art field, everyone always has something to say about your work, uninformed, or not.



Seriously, STFU.

sportyaccordy

Your blood pressure must be through the roof for you to be this angry over a thread on the internet

Thread has been dead for a week

You win ChrisV

All hail ChrisV in his boundless petty abrasiveness & insecurity driven need to remind all of his experience

Newsflash you're an asshole and nobody cares.

2o6

Right. I've made my point, people disagree with that, that's perfectly fine, we move on and discuss another car.

There is a big difference between having a valid professional opinion on a subject and offering an opinion on whether one likes a piece of automotive design, which essentially is a piece of art.  And one doesn't need to be educated in automotive design in order to offer a valid opinion on whether one likes like a particular design.  There's a lot of validity in the statement "I don't know art, but I know what I like".  You may disagree with the reason someone likes or dislikes something but that dioesn't invalidate their liking or not liking it.    

It's a lot like car colors.  One can argue about the technical merits of one color over another endlessly, but it's meaningless if one doesn't like a particular color.

Yet again. I don't have to have the same opinion as you. I defended my opinion before, and posted reasons WHY I don't like the design. If you don't like the fact I don't like it, then too bad. I'm not going to start liking it because you said so.


For being "knowledgeable" you guys are sure immature.

Are you not the guy who likes the VW Bully thing? 

I think that speaks volumes about what your opinion is worth in calculable terms.

So, you want to argue about specific cars and platforms, but you do not want to argue based on facts or knowledge?

I hope the "mature", 40-50 year old guys in this thread (ChrisV and hounddog) feel good about putting a 17 year old in his place by bitching him out for not liking a car. :facepalm:

Seriously guys, real mature. Liking a car is ALL about opinion and it's not based on any sort of experience at all. And 2o6 wasn't even being insulting. He even complimented the creator on his modelling skills.

You guys need to stop being butthur about everything. And ChrisV, all the car experience and knowledge in the world doesn't matter if you're still a massive douche.

Because he is young we should simply let him post what he wants to and not challenge it?

I never claimed he needed experience to like a car.  :huh:

I was being sarcastic. Probably should've said "trying to put him in his place" instead.

You have to understand that being in your 40s and 50s is a difficult age as well...mid-life-crisis and all that.  However, once you reach your 60s, like John and I :praise:, rationale returns along with wisdom.

And, she did it better and sexier. 

Her original interpretation of proactive-positioning was classic.  This is just a literal re-play of the original, which was done much better and in a much more cinemagraphic manner.

Plus, I do not like how the cheeks are so small and the ribs show too much.  The original was more cohesively executed.

Even the original headlights were better.
