LINGsCARS.com<\/a> deserves some kind of title and reward. \u00a0I’m giving it a website of the day award, as I’m still stunned for words.<\/p>\n

On one hand, it serves as a painful reminder of how the web used to be back in the 90’s. \u00a0It got everything from psychedelic background and auto-played music to animated GIFs and mouse hover effects.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, it does stand out from all pastel colored material designed websites of today. \u00a0Obviously, a lot of work went into building this thing and … somehow … strangely … it works.<\/p>\n

Now, please excuse me while I wipe my bloody tears…<\/p>\n

P.S.: Yeah it also took me a while to actually prepare that screenshot. \u00a0Full-page image was too large. \u00a0Cropping it down significantly brought it down to just under 5 MBytes, after which TinyPNG<\/a> compressed it to just 1.4 MBytes.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
