It had four older people reminiscing about the past with first one saying 'In my day, we could see a doctor on the same day you were ill,' followed by 'You think that's good. We got paid to go to unverisity,' and a third went with 'That's nothing. In my day, a teacher could afford to buy a house with their first job!'. It finished, of course, with the line: 'You try and tell young people today and they won't believe you!'Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930112890626149390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-51433021944623556182024-03-17T20:13:23.161-05:002024-03-17T20:13:23.161-05:00True.

Some do overall body shape and some do door handles or taillights. When they put together concept cars for the show circuit each year, they use the recent interesting designs. These cars are very rarely put into production, half don’t even have engines. But you will see in subsequent years many of the bits like the door handles or taillights from those cars appear on production cars. Most every bumper, grille, or steering wheel you see has been at least approximated on a concept car.<br />xoxoxoBruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-19226405551381140572024-03-15T19:16:57.428-05:002024-03-15T19:16:57.428-05:00... and he looks like a Teddy Boy from the British...... and he looks like a Teddy Boy from the British 60s.WilliamRockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353376414079333348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-59876911102067258092024-03-15T19:16:02.735-05:002024-03-15T19:16:02.735-05:00And any darker and it would be panda-ing to the ri...And any darker and it would be panda-ing to the ridiculous, truly bamboozling.WilliamRockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353376414079333348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-24572322077280757002024-03-15T19:14:06.424-05:002024-03-15T19:14:06.424-05:00That outfit has little bear-ing on fashion.That outfit has little bear-ing on fashion.WilliamRockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353376414079333348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-21649895423233450362024-03-15T15:53:36.595-05:002024-03-15T15:53:36.595-05:00Awaiting a response from Just A Car Guy...Awaiting a response from Just A Car Guy...Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-13675796179631584502024-03-15T13:27:45.267-05:002024-03-15T13:27:45.267-05:00It is not clear to me how this training will assis...It is not clear to me how this training will assist one on the battlefield or planning thereof.scouter573https://www.blogger.com/profile/10617089494446058172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-3408887811519036462024-03-15T13:25:10.448-05:002024-03-15T13:25:10.448-05:00I will wear that as I slip into my Lamborghini to ...I will wear that as I slip into my Lamborghini to roar into the sunset. scouter573https://www.blogger.com/profile/10617089494446058172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-79409026318549671682024-03-15T12:31:52.595-05:002024-03-15T12:31:52.595-05:00There's a long line of "teddy bear coats&...There's a long line of "teddy bear coats" that this is nodding toward (including an awesome one used in the movie 'Prêt à Porter,' which itself was probably referencing one made by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac in the 1980s). The ipsa loquitur is great! But the res is still clear here. It's fine to dislike things, but it's weird to dislike them while pretending not to dislike them. I think it's *hilarious* when designers pair funny designs with dead serious framing. I feel like it's inviting eye-rolls from people uninterested in the work, which is maybe self-evident in how much of the popularizing force of trends has been driven by one group macking what another group thinks is stylish. As a tee and jeans dude through and through, still really enjoy how reliably this kind of thing irritates people enough to express their irritation!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05733477843324517799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-91380038849974117982024-03-15T12:19:11.798-05:002024-03-15T12:19:11.798-05:00Actually the model either looks constipated or lik...Actually the model either looks constipated or like he's mad they made him run through a doll parts factory with a sticky coat on, take your pic.mamafrognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-28507862451402615862024-03-15T12:05:40.675-05:002024-03-15T12:05:40.675-05:00I've thought of an interesting overlap with a ...I've thought of an interesting overlap with a drastically different industry - concept cars.
