Paul has turned his angry, well-trained pen on ruts in car design:
First up, the Vents on the Front Quarter panel of many, many cars. Your thoughts?
Or better yet, do you have them? |

Front fender vents are so overdone.
Case in point: 2008 Ford Taurus. |

| I gotta agree. Show some creativity. It's why designers get paid the big bucks. |

| i'm up in the air about them. Cars like the M3 have had them for a long time, So they deserve to keep them, and IIRC they were a design element that was inspired by the exhaust runners off old cars like the cadillac deville, and dusseldorf cars. So i suppose a cadillac v8 sedan could have them. but on any car undeserving of them? no. just knock it off. |

| Totally agree with Locothrope- keep 'em on cars that have traditionally had them and on performance cars where they might actually serve a purpose. Get rid of them on everything else. |
