Default Personifying a 928

If you were to pick a part of your car to be the "eyes" what would you pick? I have been arguing with my girlfriend over this, I say they should be the headlights, she says they should be the windshield. You decide.

I'm for head lights. I think the windshield would be more like the stomach lining....

She's been watching too much the movie CARS. As said above, the headlights are best represent eyes. That's why the 928 looks like a frog at night!

It depends on the car. For a 928, the answer is simple. Clearly it's the headlights; the likeness to a shark is too obvious to ignore. Same is true for a 911. For something like, say, an Escalade, or 1970 - 1972 Pontiac GTO (cars with multiple lights on the front) then the perspective changes. Also consider a car with hidden lights, like a 944 or RX-7. Again, windshield is a good choice for these.

So in the end, you're both right. This is all the fault of "Cars" and Tow-Mater.

Why would you put a bra on the eyes?

The answer depends on what you are trying to accopmplish. If you are trying to customise your car, You may be right. If you are out on a hot date, the woman is always right. BTW, this becomes really critical when you move in with a girl. If she wants to decorate, let her.

The reality is that it is your car. Don't argue and do as you please. Be the master of your territory. lol

Automobiles are clearly the dominion of man.

Do not let this infidel challenge your wisdom, as she has not been enlightened by the all-powerful Otto cycle.

Now go show her a different kind of "internal combustion"

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Headlights = eyes...

the windshield is obviously the forehead and skull, containing the brain.

And we all know sharks are predators driven by primitive brains.

G'luck all.
