a car with goosebumps

I love this concept car that BMW has come up with. BMW realized that the outer shell of a car doesn’t have to be made of metal. The frame (or skeleton) of the car needs to protect us while the outer shell just needs to push the wind a bit to make us more aerodynamic.

With that in mind, GINA is skinned with a fabric of sorts that can stretch. The doors open like wings or arms. The headlights blink like eyes. The engine opens like a gaping… well, not a mouth, but something that gapes.

   And then some bastard with a knife comes and cuts the words “You Moron” into my cars “skin”.

   Does look very funky though.

   I didn’t think of that super. That would totally suck. Can’t be all that paintable. Although… it might not be as expensive to replace the cloth compared to body work and paint.
