Been trying to figure out my dislike of new cars. I really don't know how to explain it. Its like looking at them just confuses my senses. Like their styling is needlessly complex and aggressive. I really have a soft spot for 1950s era cars. I think its a combination of the graceful curves of early 1950s cars as well as how later 1950s cars were bold and made a statement. I also like the relative simplicity of 1960s designs. There was a purity to them that you don't see anymore. Cars such as the original Challenger and Mustang, to even commuter cars like the Ford Falcon. The last era I really liked were cars of the 1970s and into the 1980s. There are a handful of 1990s era cars I did like, but I consider most cars of that era just kinda bland and blobby. Anything made in the last 10 years though, man. I like the charger, Challenger, and some Dodge/Ram trucks. But that's it honestly. The Silverados were nicely designed going into maybe 2010, but the new ones are awful.
It's a color thing too. God, do I miss color. From the 1950s going into the 2000s it seems people loved color. Different color combinations for each era, sure. But there was always color. Now everything is gray, black, white, beige. You're lucky red is even still common.
Car interiors too, man. I often drive myself because I don't like to spend time in the bleak interiors they put in cars now. Its another where its all grayish colors, or if there is actual color its usually bright and aggressive. Still miss the navy blue interior on my chrysler, haha.

I think its that artist personality. I really care about visuals. Something that's easy on the eyes, if not uplifting and inspiring.
