Form Or Function?

[Gvac]

Simple enough question. Of course there are hundreds of examples you could give for times you'd choose one side and times you'd choose the other, but IN GENERAL, which do you favor?

Are you a "I don't care how it looks I care how well it works" kind of person or an "it doesn't matter what I'm doing as long as I look good doing it" type?

[Kris10]

I'm an "I don't care how it looks I care how well it works" type

Are you playing match maker or something?

[Gvac]

Are you playing match maker or something?

No, thinking about which car to buy next.

[jauble]

I really think that form is huge for me if I do not know the purpose. But if it is something I understand than I rarely give a shit.

[Kris10]

No, thinking about which car to buy next.

well then.. it depends on how shallow you are.

[Recyclerz]

C'mon, everybody knows that form follows function.

Unless you're one of those post-Modernist weirdos.

And you don't want to be a post-Modernist weirdo, do you?

[jauble]

If it makes you feel better gvac is still looking to buy that bitchin' beetle they invented before he transcends the eastern third of the US.

They are with the flame decals.

Function, speaking as a car nut, and future engineer. What cars are you currently looking at?

:annoyed: if you say so, J

All of them, and none are absolutely enthralling me.

Right now, my biggest concern is really comfortable seats. I want to do take some long drives and my current vehicle (a 2007 Hyundai Sonata) is nice enough, but completely lacks thigh support. Do a 10 or 12 hour ride in it and you start getting dead leg.

Besides, I drive an E-250 all week for work.

I want to pamper myself.

The Nissan Murano has some damn comfy seats.

[ToiletCrusher]

Luckily my mac is both pretty and functionally.

[Furtherman]

Great question.

Function. In every aspect.

Because when the shit goes down, will you be able to survive?



Or will a zombie be eating your nice shoes?

[khaxzan]

being pretty is a good thing, but I guess I'd still fuck it as long as the genitalia was still working.

[RoseBlood]

If we're talking about our next transportation vehicles, I'd like either of these:

i can't help it; i like pretty things. i like to look at pretty things...i'd rather have a house full of interesting objets d'art than vacuum cleaners and shit.

i'd rather wear something that maybe isn't the most practical but looks good and makes me feel super feminine. i'd rather wear heels than flip flops. i'd rather wear a pencil skirt than sweats.

i'd rather receive a necklace as a gift than a lawnmower.

[Jvac]

If you can't get the job done looking good then you fail.

[biozombie]

Mostly function, this is my ride, I'm getting roughly 75 MPG, maybe more, I'm too lazy to do the actual math.

I can walk you through making your choice but there are some questions I have first.

Are you looking for:

luxury?
sporty?
sport luxury combo?
FWD, RWD or AWD?
manual, sequential tip-tronic or auto?
coupe or sedan?
2 or 4 seat?
hardtop, convertible, hard convertible?
fuel consumption?
price range?

Believe me I probably have more but I'll save them for now.

[SatCam]

I generally agree with this

How do you feel about vacuuming in high heels?

You CAN have it both ways you know. :wink:

[~Katja~]

No, thinking about which car to buy next.

my car buying usually goes by what I need it for, how long I plan on keeping it and how reliable it will be... warranties, gas mileage, passenger and trunk space...and budget

if I would go by looks I would be driving a mini cooper.
