I've been seeing obscure one-line ASCII drawings in some of the signatures here on Oppo, and it took me a while to guess that people were drawing their cars' faces. I thought I'd give it a try with my 2001 Miata.

It's a Jeep thing, but apparently oppo does understand!

The difference is you didn't make a prompt or invitation to do the same, but thanks for sharing!

There was about a million of those 'car face' posts a month ago. Pretty much none of them got replies. I just linked to my old post so my comment wasn't completely off-topic.

Those 'car face' posts got old pretty damn quickly. Don't dig this shit out.

Ah, but this shit's impacted. We gotta dig it out! Evidently it wasn't old enough that people can't still enjoy themselves at it, and if it bothers you to see an active topic on Oppo, maybe don't comment in it.

Ah, shoot. I can do it, but Kinja removes all the spaces...working from a photo without so much wide angle distortion might help, too. Porsche lines are delicate!

You did good! I see you went diving into the character map to get some symbols for BMW's more aggressive styling lately.

Since my example in the OP was a little cheaty (I used consecutive spaces where the forum would have condensed them), here's a Kinja-compatible NB2.
