4.) Intentional Rust
Especially popular among the VW enthusiast community, the new thing all the cool kids are doing nowadays is intentionally rusting body panels on their cars for that perfect vintage look. But if you’re a “smart-consumer” you might consider the resale value friendly option, the rust-wrap (shown above).

:wtf:

"Don’t put “eyelashes” on your car. Your car is not anthropomorphic. It doesn’t need facial expressions and it doesn’t have eyes."

I do disagree with that, our brains are biased to look for faces in objects. Car designers use this to make a car look more cute.
Case in point, to make Google's self driving car look less like a Skynet killing machine, they gave it a cute koala face.
