So can someone explain to me why the guy who loves cars a bit too much is more chill than the guy who loves trains too much

What exactly does "a bit too much more chill" mean exactly? You can be too chill? I'd say the best answer to your question would be that no two people are the same, buddy.

I think that he meant that you love cars a bit too much.

Mitzi Continued:

Spoiler: Reveal All To Me

Also installed new points, new sparkplugs, and ran new sparkplug wires which on that engine was hard to do because they go back BEHIND the engine.

Installed all new break shoes,springs, lines, and cylinders:

Finally though, having a family friend who tunes up Porsches and Lambos there to help out, we got Mitzi running again after 18 years!

Little did I know at the time that that tick tick tick noise was a stuck valve. Time to take the cylinder head off! Meaning I have to take the intake manifold off too! yay!

Then finally the big moment. Would the repair stick? Or would there be disaster? Would I blow a head gasket? A coolant leak? Oil leak? Would she even start again?


Now we're out and about driving the roads.

Well, I'm not really a Ford guy (is that like being racist in your anthro-car world?)

But if you can rebuild a carburetor from 1955 you're alright in my book.

What's the story on Mitzy? The chrome and paint and interior look almost like new. Did you redo all that too or had she just been sitting an old lady's garage since the 1960s?

Compared to how Shaner is, even a Tasmanian Devil with UTI is chill.

Do you collect car miniatures, @Half-dude?

What makes sense?

Well I dunno, maybe subconsciously that Tex Avery cartoon planted the idea of anthro-car universes in my head I don't know. I've seen it before yeah, funny how the car one and the plane one are basically the same cartoon. I dunno, I kinda liked it, the 50s parent stereotypes are kinda corny especially mixed with car-puns. But it is cute to see an animated baby car for once, adorable. I was never a fan of how anthropomorphized they made their tires, making them stretch into arms and stuff. I've seen other vehicle anthro-artists do that and I wanted to make sure to specifically avoid that.. it just looks weird to me.

Honestly when it comes to cartoons with anthro cars, there've been two things I've liked besides TBLT. Firstly would be the Chevron gasoline commercials, their cars are adorable to me. I grew up with those commercials on TV, and them coupled with TBLT is probably what made me see 'eyes in the headlights' as the only eyes a car should have. I always thought the Pixar windshield eyes looked weird.

I mean, bird limbs on planes makes an odd sort of sense. Sorry, I wasn't being clear.

There were quite a few theatrical shorts in that period where they would basically recycle a plot with a slightly different spin. Warner Brothers did it all the time, and Tex Avery's run at MGM was no exception. It comes off as odd to us now, in the age of binge watching and re-runs.

As for Cars, I can see where you're coming from, though the windshield eyes makes a certain amount of sense. Being that the cars are the central characters in the film, their eyes being up higher than the headlights and much larger means you can get a wider range of expressions out of them. It also shifts the focus of the face onto a larger portion of the car, rather than having it centralized in the front with all of the cab just being empty (which, in a universe made entirely of talking cars, would be a little creepy). From a design standpoint for a feature about cars, it makes sense. The headlight eyes work better when the cars are supporting characters, I think. Then again, I'm thinking of this more from an animator's standpoint than somebody who's sexually attracted to cars.

For similar reasons, that's why I don't mind the tire arms the cars had. It is a Tex Avery cartoon, after all, so it's kind of expected the universe's rules will be bent to their limit.

Pardon the cartoon sperging. I kind of went to school for this sort of thing, is all.

Also, speaking of animating cars, not sure if you've ever come across this story of a Pixar animator trying to parse how cars pick up things in Cars. You might find it amusing.

Also, that Chevron commercial, did Aardman studios make that? It looks like their work, particularly the way the mouth is animated.

Here are my random posts for the night:

My mom offered to take this picture for us. This was my goodbye hug to Lilly before leaving for Washington State. The idea was to go out there, live with my buddy in his apartment, and try to get a job out there and bring Lilly out once things were on a roll. Things never got rolling..

But anyway, if you can't feel the emotion oozing out of this picture, you're emotionally dead.

Here's some drawing tutorials, or sped-up speed drawings you might find interesting. Note they're NSFW:

Here's the hilarious Spill review for Cars 2. I gotta be honest, I wonder what a car's panties smell like too. XD

Somehow even showing Concorde porn can't make me hate this guy. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Uh well, no not really. I mean, I bought a hotwheels 350Z.. but that was only because it was really cheap, I was horny, and thought it would be nice to fondle it's tiny ass. <XD *fail*

I do have a die-cast 1957 Plymouth Fury "Christine" from back in my ChristineCarClub days. I'd imagine it's quite valuable now though, I took it with me and had several of the actors from the movie sign it. I coulda got John Carpenter's signature on there, but I didn't want to pay the extra 50 bucks and wait all day in a line. : T

Spoiler: Pictures

Here's me with Keith Gorden, Arnie Cunningham in the movie. I actually gave him one of my drawings and showed him some. XD I left out the pregnant Christine drawings though lol.

Me with Christine. : 3

Omg, I love seeing others signed movie merch! Now I feel like I should watch Christine t'night.

Do you like any other car movies? Like Death Race 2000? Or The Road Warrior? How do you feel about some of the wacky designs in those? And Knight Rider, would you like it if Lilly had the ability to communicate like KITT?

Ah you like those tire arms? You might like this guy on DA then. To be honest... looking now, this might be the same artist that did all those dragon fucking cars pictures! http://suzidragonlady.deviantart.com/art/Lamborghini-Diablo-anthro-3111987

It's not that I like the arms so much as I understand their practical use.

Also, this is the dude that did the dragon on car porn first. His name is John Martello, and the artist you linked appears to be a lady.

And regarding the Chevron commercials, those later ones are certainly not Aardman. Aardman has a very distinctive aesthetic and those people do not fit into it.

Very informative. Just so you're in the know, The original Chevron commercials were all claymation, they ran in the 90s. The recent ones are all CGI and yeah I agree those ones don't look like Aardman at all.

Well hey, um I kinda got an idea. Sense you guys seem like you've ran out of questions to ask, do you guys mind if maybe I switch things around and ask you guys questions? I've been OS so long that it's hard for me to even think like the average person would about cars. So I've got some questions about that type stuff, I'm also kinda curious about some other things, mind if I ask?
