No more Millennium Falcons. Please.


Silver bullets, chase lights, projector beams, exposed bulbs, chrome rings, speed lines and LEDs: The overwrought tail light has got to go. An unfortunate trend, this need for competing shapes, multiple filaments and graphic trickery, all crammed into one fixture on each side of the automobile or SUV. Let's take a moment and appreciate the quiet, simple form (and execution) of the tail lights of the current Aston Martin DB9, above. Restrained. Organic. Bloody perfect.
