I think you're right about the headlights. I've gotten 'used' to the Mazda
Astina's small lights, which is why I didn't really notice that. I put first had
a crackle texture to try and simulate the glitterishness of metallic paint. I
changed it to granite at the last moment - not quite sure why...!?

I don't think I saw 'Crazy People'. I do remember 'Cannonball Run' which is
where I first saw a Lamborghini Countach which inspired me to start designing
cars as a hobby.
