I've actually searched for some of your past threads and understand your form follows function philosophy. I really hope I run across one of your vehicles in person so I can get a better feel for its proportions and lines.

Tony,
Please understand that it impossible to insult me when it comes to the design of the JBL or any other vehicle/product that I have done.
You must understand that I really do not take things like this seriously at all. (However, It appears that I am somewhat singular in this outlook when you read the threads on this forum, particularly when it comes to Small Block vs. Big Block, CS vs. everyone, and REAL 1 vs. everybody else.)
I was only adding a bit of levity to the thread. (That is why I put in the bit about
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Matter of fact, these days I find it hard to believe that anyone gets insulted by anything said to them.
After all, we are pounded upon daily by politicians, pundits, and religious leaders saying things that would certainly insult anyone of the meanest intelligence and we do not seem to be insulted. We just appear to look at these things as a statement of ludicrous fact.
Not to mention “diversity training”. What brilliant consultant firm or group thought up that one?
Just as old PT Barnum said, “There's a sucker born every minute.” (Please Note: this was actually said by Mr. Barnum’s competitor Mr. George Hull when he was speaking of his “Cardiff Giant” and the fake giant (replica) that Mr. Barnum had made to counter the original giant (also fake) during the lawsuit brought on by Mr. Hull against Mr. Barnum.)
Odd, this seems to sound familiar. Let’s see. CS>AC>Ford>Superformance>FFR et al.
But I digress, The bottom line here is that everyone has an opinion on aesthetics and they are all just as correct as the next person. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
