Well, I like the idea very much but does this one look ugly.

It looks clumpy and too literally refers to 70s without any trace of fresh breath of artistic creation

Hmm now I know why Tesla's CEO is going off track. Russians are drugging him!

Sorry, but by using this kind of vehicle in real action they risk losing their dignity and authority as well. This police vehicle looks like a toy

An electric car, that looks like it's from the 70s?

**Veneda** · 08-24-2018, 07:37 PM
