I have been a member of this society for a few years now. They like to call the convergence by another name: "The Singularity". Good or bad, its coming. see Moores Law.
Future Shock is real.

W O W. um, oK. I'll just seriously say from afar I have marveled at your breadth of knowledge of things, not just one or two, but many <<dissimilar>> topics, having nothing to do with the other, the mark of true depth. So, apologies, don't know what it was I said.
back to stealth mode.

Nope, don't worry. No harm done.
My wife is addicted to that stuff and she watches anything and everything on it.
It's got to the point where I start thinking too hard about the subject and my head explodes.
Freaks me out. I just don't think about it and wonder what's for dinner instead. Much more relaxing to think about a deep fried Turkey leg wrapped in bacon.
Unfortunately I'll never have one.

Late to the party, I know but I couldn't get past the front wheel drive on these and as far as design? It does nothing for me, its just not hideous....
To my eye, the Toronado is nice, but the real comparable to the fuselage C bodies is its cousin, the 1966-7 Buick Rivera. Now that is one of the few GM designs that I can really appreciate. Sculpted like few other GM cars ever...................

There comparable qualities between the Riv and Toro for sure.
I have a weakness for the 65 Rivera. In fact, when I bought my 300, the car that I looked at first was a 64 Rivera.

The front end treatment is interesting.

We will never see beautiful cars where all the proportions pleases the eye and the design pleases the soul ever again. A designer no longer can express himself. Today's designers are only meeting rules and regulations first and then adding some style to it.

Bingo. Elaborate?
What's up with your avatar and signature Gary? You making some kind of statement?

Exactly. Yup, I sure do. My pleasure, glad to be able to add something to the discussion here that others can enjoy also.

Thanks and Yes, but I cannot take credit for it. It is a picture of a painting named "Cathedra", by an American artist who went by the name of Barnett Newman. He was a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. This painting and another one he created, "Vir Heroicus Sublimis" are my two favorite pieces. Some of his contemporaries at the time were Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Marcel Duchamp, Joesph Albers and Donald Judd to name a few. The painting itself attempts to examine individuality.

I've probably let out more about my personal self yesterday and this morning than I have during the entirety of the past two and a half years I've been active on this board. Not an easy thing for me to do.
