Lets get something clear, I pretty much hate the way that Humans use cars. I hate the way that everyones lives have become subordinate to the automobile, where cyclists are second best and pedestrians often third best. Its a danger to walk the streets and cross the roads and 1 in 4 children in this country suffer from Asthma (due to traffic pollution).
Having said that, I can drive, I don't own a car, never have and never really wish to BUT I do like the aesthetics and design of automobiles.
Look at this beauty. A 1938 Phantom Corsair Prototype. Unfortunately the designer Rust Heinz (another German!) died before the car could go into production.
I wouldn't mind being run over or barged off the road by cars that looked like this. It would definately appeal to my sense of irony and aesthetic to be mowed down by a piece of art.
If I could have ANY car in the world it would be this cheeky little number. A 1957 Alfa Romeo Barchetta (meaning little boat) I can definately see myself cruising the winding roads of the South of France in this and maybe even running over a few asthmatic children just for the hell of it.
The Italians certainly know a thing or two about design, especially when it comes to cars.
