Shhh... secret draft designs. Don't tell Twitter yet. Please give me any feedback, and feel free to read my many design thoughts under the cut. Also feel free to use the designs yourself.
Alright! The things right at the top that i wanted to keep in mind were things in the series that are distinct to mechanites vs things warforged have.
As far as I remember, there are only two notable ones. Mechanites have jaws that cannot move, instead they have face plates that can open up. And while the other isn't stated in canon, warforged have crystals in their eyes, and mechanites are never pictured or described in that way.
I almost broke the first rule on purpose with DX-TR, seeing as he's described as human-like and the negotiator, but as I was going through the series again, he was explicitly stated to have the same stiff jaw.
The only heights (I think) we have were that VR-LA got the haha funny meme number at 6'9", MR-SN was a few inches taller, and C-RA is at least as tall as Finbar (7'2").
From there, I wanted DX-TR to be nearly as tall as VR-LA, so he's around 6'6"/6'7". E-DN is about the same height as him because I feel like with her satyr legs, her being taller made sense. I put K-LB around 6'2" because I was originally going to have a slight joke that this height was after he'd already made mods to himself with heels and his mohawk. I didn't like how the heels came out, so I left it out. AS-TR is the shortest at the bare minimum height for warforged at 5'10". I'll get into that in the section discussing her design.
While it didn't really come up in these designs, since VR-LA has been pictured with yellow eyes, and described with blue, I've headcanoned that mechanites eyes change color based on how much processing they're doing. So the default would be blue, when they're calm and just hanging out. Their eyes switch to yellow when they're concentrating or focused on something specific. Orange is when they're flustered or upset. Red is the dramatic color for when they're really angy. I'd imagine someone like DX-TR can deliberately control it to avoid giving away some tell, but I don't think it's common for mechanites to do it.
The designs are mostly based on the same shapes and pieces that VR-LA has, rather than Vice/He-11, as those feel like they're kind of unusual in that regard. And even if they're not, I'd still chalk it up as a difference in their plane of origin. Onto individual character notes!
C-RA was described as being large, having a sort of knights templar, aesthetic, somewhat like living armor but more organic. Mostly what I referenced was plate armor, so pretty straight-forward. That being said, I feel like her design's a little plain. I wanted to add something to her head to help distinguish her head silhouette more. Plus I feel like her colors are too desaturated, and she just doesn't really have a shape that carries throughout her design. Idk, it's fine, but it just doesn't feel striking.
MR-SN was described as being slender, regal, and with a permanent smile in his eyes. I feel like I had a similar issue with him that I had with C-RA where there doesn't seem to be anything that carries through his design. I feel like I captured the face pretty well at least where he looks kind and kind of like a dad who's just proud of you. He's one I kind of feel like with clothes, his design might work better. I had no clue what color to go for, so it's just a color that I thought would be unique enough to the group.
VR-LA is just based on his season 1 art. The only thing I changed from how I drew him before, was mostly just proportions, like around the joints. I wanted him to be a thin, scrawny nerd, so he's also more narrow than before. My goal was half of C-RA's size, and I think C-RA's about 1 1/2 VR-LA's, so it's close enough.
DX-TR was described as human-like and bald with a flesh tone color. He was honestly really easy. As a joke, I referenced Seth Everman for his face sculpt, and I think it came out well. Mostly I referenced human muscles for his sculpt. I considered giving him tattoos, but didn't really have any ideas for that.
He's got two notably unique traits from the rest of the group. He's the only one without shoulder pauldrons, which I kinda want to change, but idk there, and the light in his eyes is round rather than the cross design I treated as baseline.
I wanted a less human saturation in skin, and I don't think I achieved that, but I'm not sure it'd look as good. I kinda want him more uncanny valley, but idk what to do there.
E-DN was described as a similar mechanite design as VR-LA, but with satyr legs. I gave her horns and horizontal pupils, mostly just for variety. I gave her a little more of just a round shape compared to VR-LA's more angular shapes. Her design I like over all. I like the colors, and I think the mint accents help her stand out. She's got good shapes and a good silhouette. And everything feels like it came out pretty well with her.
K-LB I'm torn on. I almost feel like he stands out too much. As far as what's described, I had the hardest time figuring out his design. He's described as a standard mechanite that's gold with fine gold filigree that looks like wire mesh, as well as a blue glow from his arms. I was going for somewhere around a punk-ish Rodney Copperbottom from Robots kind of idea. The filigree mesh I just used a nonsense text brush because i didn't have any specific ideas there.
I like how the yellows/blues look together. I like the hexagon shape that carries throughout. His silhouette's mostly different enough from everyone else. I don't think he's too saturated. Yet I just don't feel like his design fits him, and I don't know what to do. He's the one I feel like scrapping and redoing the most.
AS-TR was described with long hair, and a slight glow, but didn't have much of a description as far as I remember otherwise. She had two notable design inspirations. Selûne and my cat who coincidentally has the same name (mostly my cat lol).
One of Selûne's avatar's is described as long limbed (which is kind of how I just drew the mechanites), with pale hair, dusty skin, and green eyes. The pattern around her eyes is a less exaggerated version of some of her iconography. Her eyes are tinted green with her holy symbol as the shape of the lights. If I were smart, I'd actually have put all seven of the stars that are a part of Selûne's holy symbol (and I might change that later).
Aster (my cat) is a tiny little black cat with a grey undercoat and two tiny lil white spots. So from there, I made AS-TR the smallest mechanite, she's two different shades of grey, and she has two little white spots on her chest in a similar size, shape, and location as Aster's.
As a result of the name coincidence, and from what we've seen, similar personality, AS-TR is required to be my favorite, lol. Even excluding that though, I do like how her design came out too. Like I said, I might change the design slightly to have the seven stars across her, and I might change the greys to have more contrast because they're too similar, but the whole design came close to what I had in mind.
Over all, I'm pretty satisfied with all of these designs, and while there's things I'm going to change, I think these are all pretty solid.
#my cool sketches#my cool art#i didn't do clothes yet#ended up putting in a lot of effort into the colors#if you read all of the read more i'm sorry i typed so much lol#i needed to put my thoughts down so i know what i want to fix#rwd#rolling with difficulty#vr-la#c-ra#mr-sn#dx-tr#e-dn#k-lb#as-tr

Buick Grand National And GNX: Costs, Facts, And Figures | HotCars
New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/buick-grand-national-and-gnx-costs-facts-and-figures-hotcars/
Buick Grand National And GNX: Costs, Facts, And Figures | HotCars
Born throughout the tail end of the Malaise period when muscle cars had been all but neutered of their V8 power, couple of if any American vehicles of the '80s are since badass as the Buick Great National, both on their first, and to this day. Starting off because not much more than a special look package for the otherwise sub-par 2nd gen Buick Royal, the Grand National can have more and more beastly in the many years following its debut, really coming into its own during 1986 as a performance killer that will annihilated not only other muscles cars but even the Euro competition in the quest for power and speed.
An not likely muscle engine, the Fantastic National went down a rather reasonable route to skirt heavy-handed rules that stripped V8s of the power, instead using a turbo charged V6 to make its energy. Remembered not only for that energy, the Grand National is really a legend of its time for that brutal, blacked-out angular appears, standing the test of time as a badass design.
Enduring only a few years, and delivered off with the even wilder GNX, the Regal proceeded to go from yawn-inducing commuter in order to tire-shredding monster under the Fantastic National name, solidifying the place in history as a genuine classic.
A staple nameplate just for Buick, the Regal was obviously a fairly nice personal luxurious car on its 1973 debut, but got instead bland in the '80s, as being a commuter that wasn't actually anything too special. However riding on the G-Body through 1981 onwards, the Royal and its Gary the gadget guy brothers like the Pontiac Great Prix tend to be seen as some of the last correct old-school muscle cars using their simple RWD layout, departing at least some charm remaining.
First showing up in 1982 for the second year of the G-Body royal, the Grand National nameplate was used to celebrate the Regal's back to back '81 plus '82 manufacturer's title is victorious for Buick in NASCAR's Winston Mug Grand National Series (renamed to just "Winston Cup" in '86). Very little more than some spruced upward appearance tweaks, the first Fantastic Nationals mainly involved brand new aerodynamic elements, paint, and several other small touches, the brand new Grand National was revealed at the 1982 Daytona five hundred, and only 215 were produced that year.
Debuting with the 2nd style Regal in 1978 although, a turbocharged V6 has been offered on the car making around 165 hp , and this will be the basis for the true Fantastic National. Fast-forwarding to 1984, the Grand National nameplate made a return as a real performance package. Sold just in black, the '84 Grand National tuned plus tweaked that rather acquire turbo V6 to make two hundred hp, which was on k?rester with a V8 Corvette of times, and 2, 000 had been sold that year. Coming back mostly unchanged for '85, the most legendary iteration from the Grand National would stick to in 1986.
Developing new intakes plus an intercooler for the motor, the '86 Grand Nationwide debuted with a whopping 235 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, brutally outclassing many competition it faced plus selling 5, 512 that will year.
Lastly, in '87 the Fantastic National saw its a year ago, making an even greater 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft rpm, beating down the '87 Mustang GT's 225 hp plus 300 lb-ft torque, plus selling 20, 740 systems that year.
While it wasn't OF V8 powered, the RWD Great National was as correct a muscle car because the time saw, outclassing United states icons like the Corvette plus Mustang, with an uniquely badass formula. Reaching its top for the final year associated with 1987, not only were probably the most Grand Nationals made that will year, but also the most legendary form it would take first showed as well under the GNX (Grand National Experimental).
Converting 547 examples of the particular '87 Grand National, the particular GNX was built with ASC/McLaren's help to turn it in to the most brutal, fastest vehicle in GM's stables. Improving the turbo with a bigger one particular from Garrett, freeing the particular intake and exhaust air flow, and tweaking the overall motor response, the GNX obtained a power boost to 276 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque. Not only upgraded power-wise, the GNX also obtained a stiffer chassis, brand new stiffer rear suspension, larger aluminum wheels and overall performance tires, a transmission essential oil cooler, bigger fender flares, and special analog overall performance gauges, all in all making it a really special car.
Weighing around 3, four hundred lbs, the GNX can rip a 0-60 with time of 4. 6 secs, and do a 13. five second 103 mph quarter-mile, making it an absolute monster for that time, even outrunning cars like the 1987 Ferrari Testarossa in a 0-60 mph race . Real for the "normal" Grand Nationwide as well, what made these unique Regals so cool although wasn't just the performance, however the blacked-out looks and boxy proportions as well, lending the particular nickname "Darth Vader's car" to it perfectly. By 1988 although, the Regal ditched the particular G-Body platform, and turned to the FWD W-Body, tagging the GN/GNX as one of the final great examples of true old-school muscle.
Based on the existing Royal, the exterior was overhauled along with special touches to make it the badass beast, and the internal is a similar story. Carrying the particular layout and most design details of the standard Regal, the particular Grand National took the particular wonderfully ‘80s interior to some new level with l ounded analog gauges, efficiency readouts like turbo increase, a sweet 3-spoke controls, and more to make it as nice looking overall inside as it was out there.
Bucket chairs with a black and white theme grasp you tight, and the pseudo-luxury trimmings of the Regal have over well, completing the particular sporty yet comfy encounter that makes it an unique and traditional design.
Features-wise, the Grand National has been typical of the ‘80s, plus typical of performance vehicles, offering stuff like air conditioning plus a radio, but nowhere close to the suite of trim purchasers are used to today. Merely a 4-speed auto was provided to handle the power, a TurboHydromatic 200-4R with a sweet T-grip shifter.
Whilst not a high-end car, the second gen Buick Regal was not dirt cheap, and the Great National similarly had a top end of the low-end price. For your most epic, prolific, plus collectible year of 1987, the Grand National a new base price of $16, 617, or the equivalent of $38, 745 in today’s cash. Fully optioned though, a good ‘87 Grand National price $18, 295, or $42, 657 today. Compared to contemporary muscle, the Grand Nationwide came at a fair cost, with the 2021 Camaro SS having a $37, 500 bottom price.
The particular GNX though was exactly where it got expensive, priced at $29, 290 in 1987, which is around $68, 294 today. But , like this special cars like the Avoid Demon, dealers added markups when they were new, because they had to get special allocations to sell one of the limited GNXs, some tacked on almost double the particular MSRP , making the particular GNX a nearly 6-figure car in today's money.
Today, the ‘87 Grand National and GNX are the main year associated with focus for collectors, along with ‘87 Grand Nationals charging around $40, 000 who is fit, and pristine low distance ones going for $50, 500 and up. GNXs are the most costly, selling for among $80, 000 and $150, 000 depending on condition plus mileage.

Chrysler’s K-cars cost $700M to develop - a huge sum at a time when the automaker was struggling. In 1974 then-Chrysler boss Lynn Townsend had rejected building an American Simca 1307, a car that might have given Chrysler a 4-year head start on GM’s X-cars. Townsend’s successor John Riccardo wisely took advantage of the Simca Horizon, built in the U.S. as the very popular L-body Omni/Horizon. Still, there was resistance to the K-cars’ cost, and some in management wanted to go with a simpler rwd car - ailing Chrysler only had money for one, and it picked a winner. - Many lessons were learned from the L-body but the K’s were a clean-sheet design; and one that eventually went FAR beyond the original design brief of 2/4-dr sedans and a wagon. The cars had to have much better NVH levels than the L-body and be roomy and solid enough to retain Aspen/Volare customers; and so they did. The original #Kcars were slow and understeery but economical; and inside didn’t feel too much smaller than the Aspen. Due to financial limitations, loan guarantees were happening at the time, the original Dodge Aries/Plymouth Reliant used only Chrysler’s new 2.2L (designed for both the L and K) or Mitsubishi’s 2.6L fours mated to 4-speeders or an auto. - The cars were a success; though sales started slowly and 1981-82 were still very rough years. The K-cars saved Chrysler, but so did cutting 70,000 jobs and huge cost cuts. which meant using the K and the 2.2 for *everything.* In 1982, Chrysler got it’s own K (the first of many), the LeBaron - differing from the Aries/Reliant in front and rear styling and interior appointments. The most distinct LeBaron (until 1983’s convertible) came mid-year - the Town & Country Wagon. Like every T&C since 1941, it wore distinctive (fake) woodgrain. - The variants did not stop at the T&C - the K went on to underpin most of Chrysler’s domestic lineup in the 1980s in ways not imagined by the original designers (Minivan, Daytona/Laser, GTS/Lancer, etc.), and the 2.2L four had a similarly wide array of incarnations. 1984 saw the intro of the famous Turbo. This 1985 T&C has one of those early turbos, a rare option good for 146 hp in the 2,600-lb. wagon. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByU7qEelMgI/?igshid=1fqy2fxhl6of6

Updated the designs! I think these are the designs I'm going to use, with maybe minor changes here and there. Feel free to use yourself. Changes under the cut!
Outside adding some gear and some clothes to their designs, I changed a couple things here and there. If you wnat to look at the old designs, you can find them here.
C-RA's saturation was cranked up, as well as light orange and purple accents to give her extra colors. I changed her pauldrons and leg guards to match, and changed the shapes on the elbows, chest, and knees. Weapons and shield styled after the shape used on the map.
MR-SN's colors were shifted from more yellow to blue, and was given more saturated accents in a dark and light blue. While we don't have much gear for him, cape was added for dramatic swooshes during storytelling.
VR-LA's design I don't think I changed any? I just added his staff and clothes from his Season 1 design. Technically he also has his spell book attached like a messenger bag, but I just left it off for this.
DX-TR had some armor integrated on him. Pauldrons were styled to match the shape Austin used on the map.
E-DN's colors might have changed slightly? I forget if I did. Wasn't sure what the shapes were in her map icon. I think they're swords, but I just left it, and mirrored the shapes in her bag.
K-LB's design I changed less than I thought I would. I changed the blue I used, and changed his chest thing into a gear shape.
AS-TR I added more armor on, and slightly changed some shapes so she'd have the seven compasses/stars that are a part of Selûne's iconography (attached to pauldrons, hands, chest, and eyes).
Really happy with the changes, and I like how they all came out! I think they all stand out from each other without being too far from the designs we have for mechanites. I think last time I talked a lot about shapes and silhouettes, as well as the colors, and I think they look pretty solid now. It might be a bit until I do a full group drawing, but I've got a few ideas for some smaller ones until then.
#yeah!!#i'm excited i finished them#they were closer to being done than i thought this morning#now to do some drawings with their designs#rwd#rolling with difficulty#vr-la#c-ra#mr-sn#dx-tr#e-dn#k-lb#as-tr#my cool art#my cool sketches#once again i wonder#does the sketch tag actually apply#because the lines and colors are pretty good

Ok I'm doing it. Part one of the Rolling with Difficulty telltale game concept.
SPOILERS FOR ROLLING WITH DIFFICULTY
Note this assumes some time has passed after the season three finale so AS-TR is at least mostly recovered and the new and old crews have a bit of a report with each other.
So the game opens and you hear a more cinematic version of the opening accompanied with visuals of the Astral Sea along with the Old and New crews of the Per Aspera. Then we cut to the engine room with Dani working on fine tuning a couple different things before K-LB walks in.
Dani: "Gah! Geez man you can't scare me like that!"
K-LB: "Sorry? I just wanted to check how everything was going and if you wanted me to lend a hand"
Dani: "Weren't you helping VR-LA patch up the helm?"
K-LB: "Well yeah but we just finished that up a bit ago"
Dani: "Alright. Fine. The motoforce generator needs a quick tune up but before you do that could you pass me the wrench from over there?"
K-LB: "Which one? There's like 10 here."
Dani: "The one with the scorch marks on it"
K-LB: "What do you mean they all have scorch marks"
The voice of VR-LA then speaks up over the sending stones.
VR-LA: "We've got company!!"
Dani and K-LB quickly run out of the engine room with Dani accidentally hitting a pipe on the way out.
Dani: "Agh! Stupid new height."
They make it out of the room where everyone else is as they do a sort of run and talk thing
Dani: Kyana? Finbar? What the hell is going on?
Kyana: No clue but it doesn't sound good
They get above deck of the now stationary ship as VR-LA is in a staring match with a hooded figure as multiple others are floating above
The player is now given an option
Kyana, Finbar, VR-LA or Dani?
This then triggers a fight sequence with a few quick time events in the perspective of this character fighting alongside a member of the old crew versus one of these cloaked figures. Finbar with AS-TR, Kyana with C-RA, VR-LA with E-DN and Dani with K-LB. (I picked those pairs based on what I thought would bring about the most interesting dynamics when separated from the rest of the group as you'll see soon)
Not too long after that one figure comes out wearing robes that shinmer in a beautiful blue in comparison to the others red. They then holds their hands out towards the group in each of their pairs and plane shifts them. Except the character whose perspective you chose and their Mechanite partner. (I imagine if VR-LA is chosen as the perspective character in this scenario it would bring some great angst out of him as he lose his friends, again) They have to stay and fight them off the ship. This doesn't take too long thankfully as the figures already accomplished what they wanted and will flee. But after that and an easy agreement is reached between the pair they set out on a journey to get their friends back. First stop... Well that depends on the character but I don't know.
Please give me suggestions on what to do next because I will make more parts to this and I kinda just winged it here and want more of like a proper idea for the scenes I write going forward.

Subclasses for the old crew of the Per Aspera.
SPOILERS FOR ROLLING WITH DIFFICULTY SEASON 3
So we already know VR-LA's so I'll just skip that.
AS-TR: This one i am most solid on considering Twilight Cleric fits her and Selune so well. Just the vibe is immaculate.
E-DN: I feel like Horizon Walker Ranger makes the most sense seeing as she would be a great navigator on the Astral Sea by being able to tell where the closest portals are and being able to take out extraplanar threats
K-LB: So Dani is already an Artillerist so I don't think Austin would also make K-LB one while that wouldbe extremely cool. So eliminating that I think Armorer could work. I see it flavored as him adding upgrades to give himself better combat capabilities.
C-RA: Honestly she could go anywhere. Battle Master could make sense but honestly Eldritch Knight sounds really badass. C-RA casting spells while cutting down enemies just seems so cool to me.
MR-SN: He's the one I'm least sure about. The only thing we ever see him do is cast "Command" or "Suggestion" (It seemed so much like Command but Wizards don't get it while they do get Suggestion) using the word "Witness" to kill that Githyanki. I put my bet on Enchantment Wizard but it could be so many things.
Anyone else have any other ideas? I'd love to hear them.

this is how you tell i've been drawing almost exclusively for a podcast for 6 months but between the blackbox archive and the entire orv webtoon god i am feeling so SPOILED for references
#asto speaks#orv mumbles#rwd is the main culprit but tbf arknights didn't help#i just got so used to drawing designs that are a. moderately to massively complicated b. partially obscured so i have to infer parts#and with orv it's like a. the main characters designs are so nice to draw bc THEYRE WEBTOON CHARACTERS THEYRE DESIGNED TO BR DRAWN LIKE#50 TIMES VERY FAST#IM DEFINITELY NOT SIDE EYEING NOIR RN /aff#k-lb a man designed to be drawn once and once only and me the fool who has probably drawn him like 6 times by this point#and at this point in the webtoon kdj and yjh has been drawn in like every angle under the sun and i am *so grateful* for it#yeah me drawing orv is just such a. rat in the rice jar moment. hell yeah#and omg wait the main score from the webtoon: THE ENVIRONMENTS. THE BACKGROUNDS#like the fuckin. suffering i had to go through to draw the backgrounds for my rwd animatic#there are literally zero visual references for what an average street in tu'narath looks like in ALL OF DND CANON HELLO???#and now its like if i want to know what post apocalyptic seoul looks like i could just LOOK AT THE WEBTOON. AND ITS THERE#insane. absolutely delightful

SPOILER WARNING FOR RWD UP UNTIL THE SEASON 3 FINALE
Ok, Rolling with Difficulty on the brain and I gotta sleep tonight so I need to get this out somehow.
Here's some RWD hopes for the future
VR-LA eventually comes to bond with all of the old crew members again and on the anniversary of the attack they go out onto the Astral Sea and drop flowers into the astral sea in memory of MR_SN. They all regain the bond they once had as crew and maybe they go back and repair the Ad Astra so the old crew have a spelljammer to call their own and more importantly have a home again. I hope that he can have two found families now even if his boyfriend is dead
Finbar once settling down with Elise will absolutely be opening up a tavern/inn of his at some point in Sigil or take over management of the Sprite Spring once Peaceblossom retires. He's gonna return at some point after he leaves the party I just know it! Like someone is gonna want to go see him, right?
Kyana, after season 3, I hope goes to train with Enok some more. Maybe gets to know the monks from the Cenobium more and finds a common place between them. Maybe she speaks to Ione again and they can hopefully reconcile at least a little bit. Maybe Enok can help Kyana unlock the full Astral Body which should be the next Subclass Feature she gets. I want to see more of Kyana delving into her past to carve out her own future because I really think that'd be dope and super in line with her character progression up until this point. One last thing, I really want to see how that connection Kyana and E-DN sort of started in the finale blossoms if at all because it seems really interesting
Sadly I only have so much for Dani but I do have a few. I WANT HER TO USE THE HELL RIDE AGAIN!! That race scene was so cool and I absolutely adored how into it Dani was. I also want more time with some of the less utilized Heap crew members like Sadie because some of these characters are amazing and need more love! I also want to see Dani bond with K-LB so badly! I need the two Artificers can get along. Who knows maybe Dani can teach K-LB a bit of chaos.

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3
Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could
Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)
Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each
A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani
Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions
VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources
(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)
Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)
Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)
The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)
Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)
Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun
Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good
Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas
Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!
Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists
VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about
Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with
MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows
oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)
Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately
honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO
#rolling with difficulty#'do not let the internet turn you into an american' i say as i make posts that can be understood by me and me only#i mean im not sorry about it this is my house#like my experiences are just gonna be extra incomprehensible because my countrys fuckin tiny so the target audience really is me and me onl#too bad! you think its hard to read my posts? i gotta live like this!#if i sound extra confrontational i got 5 hours of sleep for the whole week unfortunately so just know its all /lh more or less#really tempted to make some kind of business major joke for roy even though obviously the heap trio would all be in engineering#bc its just common knowledge in my school that business majors are the ones with the most free time to go clubbing all the damn time#and *also* theyre the faculty that dresses the best which also tracks??#didnt really nail down specific majors for everyone (besides the obvious ones like food science for finbar and mech eng for dani)#but i kinda like the idea of cs for VR-LA because of that 'programmers are real world wizards' joke and also.. projecting#cs with focus area in AI would even make sense bc of docent and emi. if i want to make the projecting Even Worse!#also if i ever do human designs for the old crew (doubtful cuz i find drawing robots more fun than drawing humans)#look up sally hansen hypnautical nail polish bc i wanna give human AS-TR that as a nod to her original design#didnt really get into the fashion of it all bc again i live in the tropics so nobody really dresses well here#the goal is to dress to not sweat more often than it is dress to look good#hands down my favourite line in the cqna was noir's i thermoregulate through my forearms#so in the middle of summer i still wear all black and just roll up my sleeves#like thats ME. except its summer ALL YEAR ROUND#walao#asto speaks

Watch This RWD Fiat 500 Abarth Drift Like An Animal | HotCars
New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/watch-this-rwd-fiat-500-abarth-drift-like-an-animal-hotcars/
Watch This RWD Fiat 500 Abarth Drift Like An Animal | HotCars
The Fiat 500 is still very much within production and continues to appeal at least a portion of the globe with its adorable looks plus small size. In the US, the Fiat five hundred ended its sale within 2019 , although the 500L and the 500X continue to be offered. And for anyone looking for more fun, there’s the Fiat 500 Abarth that does not specifically take the Fiat 500 in order to race car standard yet does give a bit of hot hatch towards the mix .
The Fiat five hundred Abarth is also cheaper at this point , adding to its attractiveness, and looks better than just before, although, it's not as effective as its competitors. Talking about strength, the standard 1 . 4-liter turbo charge inline-four engine makes a hundred and forty horses but with upgrades, it could be taken to 160 and one hundred and eighty horses respectively.
But if you really want to go crazy with the Fiat 500, Italy’s Motore Centrale has prepared ups something that will whack your mind and turned the particular hitherto hot hatch Fiat Abarth 500 into something which literally spews fire.
ASSOCIATED: Watch A Rolls-Royce Cullinan Go Drifting
Lucarelli Monza seemingly concurred with Jeremy Clarkson, who seem to once said that the Fiat Abarth 500 had possible but needed more of that will “Abarth Lunacy”. And so, here is the Motore Centrale R230 Stradale that has a very extremely tuned 1 . 4-liter inline-four with a Garrett Turbocharger, together with new and bettered energy injectors, pistons, and one large intercooler. All this goes into creating a cool 230 horsepower plus 243 lb-ft of torque which usually does not sound too much within numbers but is like skyrocket fuel for the tiny Fiat 500.
Based on various sources, this can make the Fiat Abarth 500 “Motore Centrale R230 Stradale” zip 0-62 mph in 4. seven seconds , making it since quick as the BMW one Series M Coupe. As well as the top speed is an equally simpleton 150 mph. Scary, correct?
To handle everything that nutty power, the car at this point rides on a beefier Bilstein suspension and has better brake systems as well. Plus it boasts a lot more racing and tracks things from Eibach and K& N; so if you can handle this particular little surge of energy, is actually more than ready to give you all of the thrills it can.
RELATED: 10 Of The Best Drift Vehicles Of All Time
Forget such a Fiat 500 looks like, from inside. Because this custom-built pocket-rocket has been doing lots of things to itself, which includes moving the engine towards the rear and turning it into the rear-wheel drive. Basically, this particular little car has been switched on its head, originally as being a front-engine, front-wheel drive. Despite all of the additions to the car, the has not significantly increased. In fact, belay that, the weight has been decreased simply by 100 pounds, if you evaluate it to the US sports activity edition, with it weighing 2314 pounds .
But Motore Centrale is not really done with the Fiat five hundred yet. After making this insane car, they are now aiming to make another even more crazy one.
The following one will be called the R280 Pisto, and yes, it is going to churn out 280 horses, plus ride on fully flexible shocks. The weight of this small pistol will be taken down additional and to make it legal, you will have a roll cage inside it as well. Apparently, this edition of the Fiat 500 is going to do 0-62 mph in a few. 9 seconds, and go to best speeds of 161. five mph, which is very frightening when you sit in a vehicle this size that weighs about only a little more than two, 000 pounds.
Are we terrified? Indeed! Do we love the concept? Oh absolutely…
RELATED: 10 Weird Cars Which are Surprisingly Good At Drifting
Yes, there is a video. Plus it’s fantastic. Because this small car sounds like an absolute animal, growling and roaring each and every nifty little turn it can make. The video has been shared simply by YouTube user Marchettino whom claims, “I had fun using the Motore Centrale R230, the massively tuned 500 Abarth with the RWD system as well as the middle engine position. ”
Here's the particular video…
[embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=LGhL3pra9OQ&feature=oembed[/embed]
According to the consumer, this car was created by Motore Centrale but in cooperation with Aznom, and it is one of the coolest cars they have driven. The fans that will commented on the video appeared equally blown away and many said that every time they noticed the car, it only appeared to get better.
You can find the Motore Centrale site for more details on the R230 Stradale and the upcoming R289 Pisto, along with whichever brand new brand of insanity they have prepared up in their factory within Monza, Italy. When it comes to this particular little RWD Fiat five hundred Abarth, all fans valued the effort that went into transforming it into an absolute broken of energy. So while this might not be able to turn into a track celebrity, it does seem to have changed into the best version of alone, and this is why Italian anatomist is still one of the coolest on the planet.

Buick Grand National And GNX: Costs, Facts, And Figures | HotCars
New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/buick-grand-national-and-gnx-costs-facts-and-figures-hotcars/
Buick Grand National And GNX: Costs, Facts, And Figures | HotCars
Born throughout the tail end of the Malaise period when muscle cars had been all but neutered of their V8 power, couple of if any American vehicles of the '80s are since badass as the Buick Great National, both on their first, and to this day. Starting off because not much more than a special look package for the otherwise sub-par 2nd gen Buick Royal, the Grand National can have more and more beastly in the many years following its debut, really coming into its own during 1986 as a performance killer that will annihilated not only other muscles cars but even the Euro competition in the quest for power and speed.
An not likely muscle engine, the Fantastic National went down a rather reasonable route to skirt heavy-handed rules that stripped V8s of the power, instead using a turbo charged V6 to make its energy. Remembered not only for that energy, the Grand National is really a legend of its time for that brutal, blacked-out angular appears, standing the test of time as a badass design.
Enduring only a few years, and delivered off with the even wilder GNX, the Regal proceeded to go from yawn-inducing commuter in order to tire-shredding monster under the Fantastic National name, solidifying the place in history as a genuine classic.
A staple nameplate just for Buick, the Regal was obviously a fairly nice personal luxurious car on its 1973 debut, but got instead bland in the '80s, as being a commuter that wasn't actually anything too special. However riding on the G-Body through 1981 onwards, the Royal and its Gary the gadget guy brothers like the Pontiac Great Prix tend to be seen as some of the last correct old-school muscle cars using their simple RWD layout, departing at least some charm remaining.
First showing up in 1982 for the second year of the G-Body royal, the Grand National nameplate was used to celebrate the Regal's back to back '81 plus '82 manufacturer's title is victorious for Buick in NASCAR's Winston Mug Grand National Series (renamed to just "Winston Cup" in '86). Very little more than some spruced upward appearance tweaks, the first Fantastic Nationals mainly involved brand new aerodynamic elements, paint, and several other small touches, the brand new Grand National was revealed at the 1982 Daytona five hundred, and only 215 were produced that year.
Debuting with the 2nd style Regal in 1978 although, a turbocharged V6 has been offered on the car making around 165 hp , and this will be the basis for the true Fantastic National. Fast-forwarding to 1984, the Grand National nameplate made a return as a real performance package. Sold just in black, the '84 Grand National tuned plus tweaked that rather acquire turbo V6 to make two hundred hp, which was on k?rester with a V8 Corvette of times, and 2, 000 had been sold that year. Coming back mostly unchanged for '85, the most legendary iteration from the Grand National would stick to in 1986.
Developing new intakes plus an intercooler for the motor, the '86 Grand Nationwide debuted with a whopping 235 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, brutally outclassing many competition it faced plus selling 5, 512 that will year.
Lastly, in '87 the Fantastic National saw its a year ago, making an even greater 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft rpm, beating down the '87 Mustang GT's 225 hp plus 300 lb-ft torque, plus selling 20, 740 systems that year.
While it wasn't OF V8 powered, the RWD Great National was as correct a muscle car because the time saw, outclassing United states icons like the Corvette plus Mustang, with an uniquely badass formula. Reaching its top for the final year associated with 1987, not only were probably the most Grand Nationals made that will year, but also the most legendary form it would take first showed as well under the GNX (Grand National Experimental).
Converting 547 examples of the particular '87 Grand National, the particular GNX was built with ASC/McLaren's help to turn it in to the most brutal, fastest vehicle in GM's stables. Improving the turbo with a bigger one particular from Garrett, freeing the particular intake and exhaust air flow, and tweaking the overall motor response, the GNX obtained a power boost to 276 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque. Not only upgraded power-wise, the GNX also obtained a stiffer chassis, brand new stiffer rear suspension, larger aluminum wheels and overall performance tires, a transmission essential oil cooler, bigger fender flares, and special analog overall performance gauges, all in all making it a really special car.
Weighing around 3, four hundred lbs, the GNX can rip a 0-60 with time of 4. 6 secs, and do a 13. five second 103 mph quarter-mile, making it an absolute monster for that time, even outrunning cars like the 1987 Ferrari Testarossa in a 0-60 mph race . Real for the "normal" Grand Nationwide as well, what made these unique Regals so cool although wasn't just the performance, however the blacked-out looks and boxy proportions as well, lending the particular nickname "Darth Vader's car" to it perfectly. By 1988 although, the Regal ditched the particular G-Body platform, and turned to the FWD W-Body, tagging the GN/GNX as one of the final great examples of true old-school muscle.
Based on the existing Royal, the exterior was overhauled along with special touches to make it the badass beast, and the internal is a similar story. Carrying the particular layout and most design details of the standard Regal, the particular Grand National took the particular wonderfully ‘80s interior to some new level with l ounded analog gauges, efficiency readouts like turbo increase, a sweet 3-spoke controls, and more to make it as nice looking overall inside as it was out there.
Bucket chairs with a black and white theme grasp you tight, and the pseudo-luxury trimmings of the Regal have over well, completing the particular sporty yet comfy encounter that makes it an unique and traditional design.
Features-wise, the Grand National has been typical of the ‘80s, plus typical of performance vehicles, offering stuff like air conditioning plus a radio, but nowhere close to the suite of trim purchasers are used to today. Merely a 4-speed auto was provided to handle the power, a TurboHydromatic 200-4R with a sweet T-grip shifter.
Whilst not a high-end car, the second gen Buick Regal was not dirt cheap, and the Great National similarly had a top end of the low-end price. For your most epic, prolific, plus collectible year of 1987, the Grand National a new base price of $16, 617, or the equivalent of $38, 745 in today’s cash. Fully optioned though, a good ‘87 Grand National price $18, 295, or $42, 657 today. Compared to contemporary muscle, the Grand Nationwide came at a fair cost, with the 2021 Camaro SS having a $37, 500 bottom price.
The particular GNX though was exactly where it got expensive, priced at $29, 290 in 1987, which is around $68, 294 today. But , like this special cars like the Avoid Demon, dealers added markups when they were new, because they had to get special allocations to sell one of the limited GNXs, some tacked on almost double the particular MSRP , making the particular GNX a nearly 6-figure car in today's money.
Today, the ‘87 Grand National and GNX are the main year associated with focus for collectors, along with ‘87 Grand Nationals charging around $40, 000 who is fit, and pristine low distance ones going for $50, 500 and up. GNXs are the most costly, selling for among $80, 000 and $150, 000 depending on condition plus mileage.
