Travel turned to something else

To travel somewhere it simply means moving from point A towards point B. No additions. No deeper or hidden meanings. However, most of the people love to see the bad side of the coin when it's time to travel. Well, there are couple of inconvenient features of mass transit, of course. Even flight has some outrageous parts since this terror bullshit came up. I'm waiting for the day when you have to take all your clothes off and walk through a gate, naked, because of security check. This is ridiculous. But, what I realized is going hand in hand to travel by car. Did you realize that the joy of wheel is gone since the 60's? Just look at the cars from that era. Look at the design. Even sportcars or muscle cars from this time didn't look so bloodthirsty like a simple family car today. Just watch next time you leave your house. Today, travel turned from joy to aggression. From moving from point A to point B is a death race nowadays. In this race you have to look like a predator just to change the line. Your car should look big. Doesn't matter if it's only a toad-effect: blow yourself up to keep your enemies away. Your car should look aggressive and firm from every point of view, like a tank or a jetfighter. Look at those high beltlines, huge masks with the grill, sharp lines all around. And the front lights. They look like you could kill just with those. Meanwhile the cars till the 60's had some kind of smile or happiness in the front part. Cars today have a really mean look. The lines on the front section are pointing downwards. Emphasizing and confirming the connection between you and the material world. So, it doesn't matter anymore what you wheel with. The point is you are part of a race and you have to win to get from point A to point B. Or at least someone wants to suggest this with nowadays car designs. BULLSHIT. Forget it. Till you have the road and enough nafta you can roll. Just enjoy the ride.
When will you calm down and drive like a happy man, not like a lunatic? Or if you are crazy just roll into the nearest mental asylum and let the others enjoy the distance, ok?

Can you see the similarities?
