Dichotomy...

I saw the ugliest car ever on the way back from lunch today. It was a late 80s, early 90s Chevy Celebrity. For those who aren't familiar with this car, it looks a lot like the 1990 Olds 88 I had. They're both built on the same GM platform (same chassis, same 3800 series engine, mostly the same body), along with the Buick LeSabre and the Pontiac Bonneville. Which means it's sort of boxy and dumb looking to begin with. But, here's the best part: it was calypso green, just like Tim's Mustang. Now, yes, it's a weird color, but it grows on you. I know Tim loves his car, and I gotta admit it won me over when I drove it and could feel all that power at your fingertips and toes. But this car, this car was flat out hideous and had no redeeming qualities like fast, or powerful, or legendary.
