I can't work out if this website is awful or genius

Apparently it's a hugely successful business LingsCars[^] and maybe the website is deliberately awful to stand out. I think I've been doing it wrong all these years. Time to throw out all the books on UI / UX and just throw the kitchen sink at my next project :-D

Just did that before reading your comment - some real skill there.. :laugh: I particularly liked the javascript at the bottom:
// console.log("Welcome to LINGsCARS! Please help me, Ling's got me chained on her basement coding this website, HELP.");
And no table layouts! Yay! :thumbsup:
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

I vote awful. It honestly doesn't take the latest technology or even a lot of effort or programming chops to come up with something more modern looking.

Just took a gander at her Twitter page. This lady is a riot! Don't know if that is a good thing. :doh:

This shows up in the JS also:
"If you die, you don't get your seat ticket refunded, and in the same way you won't get your new car refunded.|;|But, dying can be great, because the car contract will stop immediately and your car will go back to the finance provider.|;|This means that your loved ones, if anyone loves you, won't be left to pick up the cost of the car."

That was horrific on so many level - the background was the very least of them.

Love it. :-D For some reason, it brings to mind Drew Kaplan's old DAK Catalog, even though they're not very similar at all. Strange, the connections that form in ones head.
