Beat up Z06
A torch red Z06 passed me today, with a big ugly red wing on the back, brown nasty marks around where it was fastened, coroded overlays on his brake lights, exhaust bent and falling off, chipped up paint, cracked break dams, dingy paint, just beat to hell. Wanted to let him know i thought it was a shame what he did to the car, but, was in my work truck and couldnt catch him. Not too often you see one in that condition.

One of these days, I will wash it. I have already bought a couple gallons of fiber, bondo, and J B Weld.
If people like you would not _itch about me and my car, I could be out there working on it, not typing you a love note.
No wonder you could not catch me; you drive a piece of junk. Deep down inside my car, it is perfect. Remember what your mother told you: Looks are not everything.
Besides, I am driving a nice vette, and you are driving a lousy work truck. Confuscius once say: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
LOL
This is fun. I am hundreds of miles away, and you can't touch me. (I hope.)
Hey, this is the only fun I get in life. Have a good day. Just yanking your chain.

"...as neere is Fancie to Beautie, as the pricke to the Rose, as the stalke to the rynde, as the earth to the roote."
Shakespeare expressed a similar sentiment in Love's Labours Lost, 1588:
Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,
Needs not the painted flourish of your praise:
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,
Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues
Benjamin Franklin, in Poor Richard's Almanack, 1741, wrote:
Beauty, like supreme dominion
Is but supported by opinion
David Hume's Essays, Moral and Political, 1742, include:
"Beauty in things exists merely in the mind which contemplates them."
The person who is widely credited with coining the saying in its current form is Margaret Wolfe Hungerford (née Hamilton), who wrote many books, often under the pseudonym of 'The Duchess'. In Molly Bawn, 1878, there's the line "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", which is the earliest citation of it that I can find in print.
Sorry, couldn't resist

This saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC in Greek. It didn't appear in its current form in print until the 19th century, but in the meantime there were various written forms that expressed much the same thought. In 1588, the English dramatist John Lyly, in his Euphues and his England, wrote:
"...as neere is Fancie to Beautie, as the pricke to the Rose, as the stalke to the rynde, as the earth to the roote."
