Not to mention, that tag wouldn't make a car owner feel good to read.Ben Piffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805306243851560129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112355325821745788.post-77385546674256574872011-04-04T09:37:13.276-07:002011-04-04T09:37:13.276-07:00beautiful shots.
i've been advocating we stop...beautiful shots.<br /><br />i've been advocating we stop using the "not going anywhere" tag, because, although it's funny, a dead car is a bummer. also, sometimes you just can't tell if a car gets driven, which i think just takes the oomph out of the tag. same deal with the "patina" tags we were doing for a long time. i sincerely appreciate the perfect patina of careful use, and i sincerely appreciate the perfect patina of excessive use, and i ironically appreciate moss growing on a car in a completely separate, unrelated way, but i do not appreciate wreck damage or the patina of abuse. it's all too complex and interwoven, and the tags we were using were funny but inadequate. but it's something i/we am/are always thinking and talking about, so i'm sure we eventually figure out the perfect tag(s) to capture all the nuanced emotion these cars evoke. that will be a good day.Tony Piffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118128463425138509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112355325821745788.post-72331899533606292612011-04-02T08:41:34.134-07:002011-04-02T08:41:34.134-07:00I think so Justin. I don't know about you guy...I think so Justin. I don't know about you guys, but I was psyched to find out that this wasn't a Bel Air. I'd never heard of the 210, probably because it occupies a much less appreciated spot down on the totem pole. Researching a 150 would have been nearly impossible, because you'd never know if it was missing all the trim from the factory or if it had been lost over the generations.Ben Piffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805306243851560129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112355325821745788.post-29800007040008640682011-04-01T12:16:23.527-07:002011-04-01T12:16:23.527-07:00I spy slotmags......;)
