[QUOTE="reason4treason, post: 13369112, member: 134879"] a solution to a problem can be referred to as [I]elegant[/I] which means 'pleasingly ingenious and simple.' if the 'problem' is the challenge of designing a new car, which the first Mustang was, IMO that word is definitely applicable to this car. for example, the tail lights. there's still that three upright rectangles format and 48 and 49 years later the '13 and '14 tail lights are, IMO one of the best looking features of the car. rather than having become something that one might have gotten sick of decades ago, the latest iteration looks fresh as can be at the same time that it has an element of timelessness. there can be great power in simplicity of design and in some ways, that's even more impressive than some multi-step, complex approach. I'd say that's largely because it's something that the overwhelming majority of people overlook just because they don't have the openness to be amazed by whatever just happens to be amazing because they get hung up in close-minded ideas of how things are 'supposed to be.' truly creative people seem to do more getting out of the way of conventional thinking and just let the magic flow. 50 years I think means that this car truly does have elements of magic and magic transcends the external differences that separate people and celebrates that which we all have in common. who can say for sure where creativity really comes from. it's intangible at the same time that it's the source of what manifests physically. it's almost like a great piece of music that you just feel free to enjoy without having to analyze.
