Box cars

First off, I'm toying around with the design of this blog. It'll change constantly until I find something I like. I'm also looking for a new name for the blog. On with the show.

So I'm driving down the Atlanta high... oh... wait... anyways, I was driving south on I-75 heading toward the museum (Wood County Historical Center). I get off at the exit to get onto Route 6 and I see this awful thing ahead of me:

It's one of those disgusting Nissan Cubes. Yeah, great name. Real imaginative. Who thought that rear windshield design was a good idea? What the hell is with these ugly cube-shaped cars these days? Nissan Cube. Honda Element. Scion xB. Kia Soul. They're all disgusting. Sure, I know they're supposed to be fuel efficient but they look goofy on American roads. They'd look normal on European or Japanese roads where there is a reason to have such small, goofy looking cars. I just wince in disgust when I see the rolling shoeboxes here. I'd feel embarassed driving one. 

And this has nothing to do with domestic vs. foreign cars, since those four car companies are Japanese or Korean. I honestly don't care where my car comes from as long as it drives. Heck, Fords and Chevrolets are made in Canada and Mexico anyway while North American Toyotas are made in the United States. So which company is giving back to the American economy? Not to mention this is a global economy now. Did people not notice how when the United States' economy crashed, the rest of the world followed? But this post wasn't supposed to be about politics. I'm sure I'll get into politics in a later one.

Back on topic, I laugh everytime I see one of these:

I'm going to end this with a picture of a real car - a Roush enhanced Ford Mustang.
