The bar of soap is aerodynamic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient

Right. All cars are converging on the shape of the Dodge Intrepid Hybrid. It is simply unavoidable. It is carcinisation, but for cars.

They're so ugly to me.

Anything with that teardrop shape is immediately out of my purchasing decision matrix.

I like boxy vehicles and sharp angles you could cut yourself on. The Toyota FJ Cruiser. The new Ford Bronco. The new Land Cruiser FJ.

The original DeLorean DMC-12 speaks to me. The Ferrari F40. The Corvette C8.

The Unimog. FMTV trucks.

Nothing that looks like a dollop of sour cream or a tear drop breast implant is ever going to appeal to me. Aerodynamics be damned.

  • I love the look of Unimogs and FMTVs.

    I was seriously thinking about looking into finding a surplus FMTV until I realized just how loud and uncomfortable they probably are. Sure, that can be fixed, but I have enough projects.
