What is at the heart of cool cars everywhere? Is it the speed they might travel at? Is it the thought of the wind brushing your hair? If its the latter, then you have a soft top (convertible), or someones pinched your roof!


Well, it could be either of these things. Or perhaps cool cars mean something else to you entirely. But to me, it is the shape of the car. Not so much cool cars but cool curves ... Sexist? Perhaps, but true none the less. I think I classic car is clear-cut by its architecture.


Look at any sports models over the months. What has distinct them, made them stand out? Ok, the price is one thing, but take a step back and really ponder what makes a hot car so cool?


There is something else that makes a car cool, at least as far as I am concerned. And that is the interior. Or to be more precise, what the interior is made of. My first car lives in my memory to this day, and surely that is the mark of a cool car. I might remember the smell of the leather seats and look of the wooden dash surround. Plastic just doesnt cut it, especially not in more mass produced models.


And it had curves!



So what else puts the cool into a car for you?


For me personally, low is cool. The closer I am to the ground, the better I feel. Some many people like to have a high vantage point, and perhaps that is cool to them. It certainly helps to have a better view of the roadway from a practical point of view.


For many, the colour of a car defines its cool. Red is almost always the colour to fuel associated with the hottest cars around (not surprisingly really). But what about black? There is something mystical about jet black automobiles, do not you think? To some, an unusual colour is the height of chic as far as a car is concerned. You might not like bright yellow or lime green, but your will always notice them, will not you. And to some folk, that is all that is required from a cool car.
