what is a car, actually?
a post about what people mean when they say "car"
Tumblr media
hmm yes this is certainly a car related Take™ and i would like to put my thoughts into words and quite possibly images
there are a number of ways in which you can classify and categorize vehicles: body style, chassis type, purpose, etc. and this is a conflation of all of these.
first, a "car" is a term to describe a small number of the various body styles available - generally, but not always, something with a 3-box design; 2 or 4 doors; 3 pillars; and a separated, covered trunk.
Tumblr media
you would be hard pressed to find anyone calling that first image anything other than a "car"
and yes, in this way, a van is distinct from the traditional sedan and coupe designs, usually with 3 doors, no B pillar, and an attached cargo area.
i could see and understand an argument like this, from a vehicle design perspective, but generally it would be easier to categorize stuff more granularly, into sedan, coupe, hatchback, liftback, SUV, CUV, van, etc.
second, there's chassis type - in the very olden days practically everything used ladder chassis, so there was very little distinguishing a "car" mechanically from a "truck", but in the past 50 years or so cars and trucks have separated in chassis design, with sedan and coupe chassis generally being unibody and trucks keeping ladder frames.
vans, as a rule, follow no rules. small vans tend to use chassis derived from "car" (that is, small unibody) platforms, large vans tend to use ladder chassis, and certain vans are weird, and do neither:
Tumblr media
(this is referred to as "light truck" or "partial" monocoque because the cab portion of the van uses a unibody design but the back half uses a ladder frame)
people will generally refer to vans or even pickups with a small, "car"-derived unibody frame as "cars", whereas people tend to refer to trucks or vans with ladder frames as "trucks" and "vans", distinguishing them from cars explicitly.
again, i can see an argument for doing this.
third, and what mr. cars in posts was referring to, is purpose. "cars" are passenger vehicles, "vans" are cargo vehicles.
so, then, what the fuck is this?
Tumblr media
it is, ostensibly, a cargo vehicle - it can carry large amounts of stuff and in fact has been designed to do that - but the vast majority of people who buy it will never use it that way. is it a passenger vehicle or a cargo vehicle? is it both? is it neither?
you've once again come upon a situation where it's difficult or impossible to cleanly divide stuff into two categories without any overlap, and the solution is once again to divide stuff into as many categories as are necessary. a truck is a truck and a sedan is a sedan. they may, and often do, serve similar functions, but having that level of granularity in how you can categorize things is very useful.
so, is a van a car?
idk thats a stupid question go touch grass

In today’s transits, Venus at 27° Pisces ♓️ 9’ 17” forms a conjunction with Neptune at 27° Pisces ♓️ 58’ 32”. Our ability and capacity to relate, communicate and connect aligns and seems to be as “one” with our dark energy in a mystical, sensitive and mysterious way. See the light in the darkest shadows today. Find your peace today. Humble yourself today. Nurture your inner child today.

Dear Gus & Magnus,
I woke up stressed at 3:30am Eastern Time and decided to do my timesheet and then go back to sleep, but I couldn't go back to sleep, of course. So I got on the road at 4:45 and made it to Bronco's apartment in Atlanta at 9:12 to drop off the footage from Florida so he could start editing. I took a picture of him with the harddrive to send to the group, so he took this picture of me to send. After a couple of minutes, I got back in the van and hauled ass all the way home -- a solid 12 hours of driving on little sleep, mostly because I was eager to see you two and Mom.
We went with Yiayia and Morgan to El Sur for dinner, then I crashed hard after we put you two to bed.
Dad.
Atlanta, Georgia. 5.13.2023 - 9.12am.

Es ist soweit, jetzt kann es losgehen!
Lange haben wir nach dem passenden Fahrzeug gesucht und waren zwischenzeitlich auch am Verzweifeln. Aber letztendlich haben wir das für uns passende Fahrzeug gefunden und freuen uns jetzt wahnsinnig auf die vor uns liegenden, sicherlich auch spannenden und nervenaufreibenden Wochen und Monate, die wir bestimmt auch brauchen werden um unser Fahrzeug so nach unseren Wünschen zum Camper zu gestalten. Der Plan steht und los geht’s….Willkommen Winnie

In today’s transits, the Sun at 15° Sagittarius ♐️ forms a sextile aspect with the Moon at 13° Libra ♎️. Our sense of illuminatory desires signs and blends perfectly with our need for emotional support, stimulation, wellbeing and intelligence in an adventurous and beautifying way. Expect the unexpected today. Find a way to the middle ground today. Enjoy the small moments and victories today. Revel in amazement today. Love yourself today.
Tumblr media
Today Chiron, the capacity to heal through the wounded self, is at 15° Aries ♈️ also forms a trine with the Sun but a polar opposition to the moon. Use Chiron today to understand our emotional tendencies and provide a clear view of our illuminatory needs!
