A model. A physical one though. There are the minor flaws you get when you do the racing stipes by hand, etc. But I'm proud of it.

Looks good.

Those cars are, as the french would say, "sex on wheels," but in french.

what's wrong with the hood?
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

There are dips in the hood that reflect light oddly with the flash, if that's what you mean. I suppose they're there for down force considering the engine's in the back.

I've kinda fallen in love with the car since the philly auto show. I can't wait until the NYC one in April.

ah yes, I think the term you're looking for is "le croissant"
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Yay fellow Pennsylvanian! Yay Ford!

But I agree with Mr. Saran Wrap, the hood looks like someone dropped a ice block from atop a bridge on the car.

EDIT: Looking at the actual car pics, it seems that's how the car is, in fact, designed. :]
Cordially,

Whatever that is, it's the ugliest car ever.

The "dips" in the hood are there for cooling. If my memory serves my correctly the radiator is in the front of the car, and it's constructed so air will flow from underneath the car, through the radiator, and over the cockpit creating downforce and cooling the car more efficiantly at the same time.

a) I love the look of the 2005 Mustang. The front end is all muscle car to me. I hate mustangs and that car made me want one in the worst way. Hell, Top Gear gave it, an american car, a good review, and placed it high on the cool wall. And the new Shelby looks and is amazing. It'll be the new pace car after the GT ends production soon and it'll only be about $40,000.

b) About the hood, do you mean the gas cover? If so, I agree, that's the one thing I don't like about the design, they should have left it in the car's color.

Or is it a comment about my painting, which I'll totally buy as well?

Also I must admit, I only go to school in Pa, Villanova t be precise. I actually live in NYC.
