Heart Palpitations

Most people would associate heart palpitations with either a medical condition, or romance. I have to say there is at least one more category. Good design.
My favorite car is the Mini Cooper S.

I have always loved minis, even before they were reinvented by BMW. Some people, my hubby for example, would be hard pressed to pick a favorite car. Not me, it was love at first sight. When I see a particularly beautiful one driving down the road, sometimes my heart literally skips a beat. My heart races and my stomach does a flip flop.
That is what good design does to you. It stirs passion, makes your heart race, and makes you wish for more.
Other things that make my heart race:
