Describe Yourself In One Vehicle

This is me: An old Land Rover (or Cruiser, but Rovers are more *ahem* idiosyncratic), slogging through a swamp. I can take some shit when I’m 100%, but child-induced sleep deprivation, work-induced stress, and world-induced anxiety = decades of trail use and iffy maintenance. Shit wears you down, but the only way is forward, so you keep going and try to keep that intake above water. I might need a refresh of sorts after this trip, but I’ll make the end of the trail.

Maximum legibility of the plate even when underwater. Good thinking. Otherwise HM Coastguard might have to pull you over hey wait a minute

Today I’m feeling like a Model T.

Because I’m cranky. And don’t even get me started.

A smart.

I’m subjectively cute, I have some intelligent ideas, people either love or hate me, I’m REALLY GOOD at a handful of things, but I am let down by some subjectively negative traits, and I’m always broken.

I hadn’t seen that before either. Keeps the CG a bit lower than if they were on the roof, I suppose.

And if someone does get you started, you’ll break their arm right? Hope it gets better. My old Rover-self feels the crankiness setting in, but this customer service gig means I can’t really indulge it. Bah.

I hope that doesn’t mean you’ll need head rebuilds. :(

Early 90s Supra Turbo.

Still holding up reasonably well with age, semi-athletic, and pretty reliable.

But people keep ASKING ME TO MAKE 1000HP BRO and I’m f*cking sick of it!

90's Volvo 240

Old-school, durable and capable, but quite slow and boring. Not the best looking car, but can be handsome with the right accessories. I also love rally and rallycross.

Mustang GT.

I’m average at most things, although I have a few tricks that I am very good at. Always up for a good time. Best enjoyed with friends of a like mind where the phrase hold my beer is common occurrence.

Well, I have had a small number of head rebuilds. :( And since I have a therapist, one can argue that my head is still being rebuilt.

I’m an Audi RS7. Young, ambitious, athletic and good looking but kinda different; I’m everything Gen-Y. T shirts, rolled up chinos and Nike Roshes daily to my start up jobs, but no I’m not a coder. I’m a jack of all, master of none. I’m the wild card you want that can do anything you need and will surprise you when the time comes. I’m everything that makes this German highway bomber. (Ironically I’m not an Audi fan)

An old farm truck. I don’t look as good as I once did, I’m a little beat up, got a few rattles, creaks and groans. But, with a little effort, I can still get up and get the job done.

Lotus Esprit. Temperamental, misunderstood initially, but adored once (if) you get to understand the concept. Not as popular as other similarly priced machines though it has a small cult following. Fast when it wants to be though it prefers a good even cruise pace when not having mechanical issues (like knee joints) due to older age. Maintains a specific eye on culture and prides itself in that.

Well the LWB Series tends to get saggy arse syndrome anyway, so this might helpfully balance the front to make it look less like a yachting dog.

I figured it was fitting, with the Oppo header and production stopping. It so happened that the vehicle currently fits where I’m at.

Describe myself using a single vehicle?? Nah.... “that” vehicle doesn’t exist, if it did, imagine a Lancia Stratos, but all armor-plated with multiple gatling guns and highway-to-highway missles for slow drivers hogging the left lane... OH- and it would have special cloaking shields for dealing with cops’ radars...... and have like a locomotive-sized turbo (but that magically doesn’t have any lag)

Oh— and explosive-tipped harpoons, for when it transforms into a submarine....

full size Bronco - comes with some problems, a bit of baggage, halfway decent looking but on the large size, bad gas mileage, but still kinda fun.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer ... Proud to have served, clean up nice enough for a night on the town but love to get dirty outdoors. Like camping, fishing and hunting. Don’t mind working hard to get great results - quietly competent and capable.

V60 D5 twin engine. Good but not great performer. Bit on the heavy side. Will run on either coffee or alcohol. Will not stop. Ever. Not much room for anything, despite it’s weight.

Then again: maybe it should be somewhat more oldschool.

Forward thinking. Completely nerdy but still decently athletic. Unapologetically different. Skinny legs. Often misunderstood. Has its quirks, but hard not to like once you get to know it.

Yup, I guess I drive myself in car form.
