So hey guys!...
Seems like this thread might finally be ready to die, unless you guys have some more questions. I honestly never thought you guys would feel satisfied in knowing everything you'd ever want to know.
So I'm curious, have I done some good here? Have I improved any of your views on Objectum Sexuals? Have I made you guys question the media, and see us for how we really are?
I wonder, next time you see one of those shock-value documentaries on Objectum-Sexuality, will you guys say "naw, that's bullshit, I know better now."
Just curious.. : |
Yea it does seem that way. You should be good as long as no one bumps the thread.Seems like this thread might finally be ready to die
Half-dude I have to say this, you handle anthropomorphic cars way better than Pixar does.
Balls are touching, certified safety rating A+++.
Since I'm pretty sure you skipped over the original post, allow me to re-ask the following:
"We know that these cars are sentient beings with complex reproductive systems and can walk like human beings. But my questions to you are as follows:
-Can they drive under their own power?
-Do they even have regular interiors like a real car? Or is it like complex robotics underneath those windows?
-If they do have regular interiors, do they cars still need to people to work their controls, or can they work those by themselves?"
If you can (or are able) to answer those, that would be helpful.
Now for a follow up set of questions:Sorry... ^^;
I can't be too careful with you guys. You ARE aware my anthro cars are a fictional creation of mine right? I just want to make sure that you know that I know they don't really exist. As HOT as that would be, they don't. Now let's carry on:
The self-driving cars of today were part of their inspiration, so yes, they can drive themselves. When it drive mode, they can simply ask their owners where they want to go, hear, and go there on their own. Their wheels are powered by a standard naturally aspirated gasoline engine, all their limbs and.. sex parts, are powered by a separate electrically powered hydraulic system.
Yes they have regular interiors. The only difference is that under the carpets, hidden in out of sight areas, the walls, roof, and floor of the cabin are made to bend and twist as the car walks around in anthro mode. Using rubber tendon-like cores in areas like the pillars of the cabin to allow slight bending. Sliding plates, hinges, and mechanical joints allow the roof to bend left and right to a certain amount. The entire floor of a female car can bulge upwards pressing the seats and stuff up into the roof, this is to make room for her womb when she's pregnant. (This is shown in my cutaway of the female reproductive system.
Already answered that first part. No, they don't really NEED humans for any of that stuff, but it's what they're programmed to instinctively want, to be helpful to humans. When the car is driving itself it bypasses any controls in the interior and just controls them electrically.
I'm honestly kind of surprised this thread is still going. @Half-dude, as a sometimes-mechanic by trade, I would make but one request: please take your car in for regular service and maintenance. Please don't neglect your ride man. Lots of people do and it's sort of sad to me, because even though cars don't seem to interact with us in a way we can readily understand, the difference between a car that's been loved and one that has not is vast. They are quite literally worlds apart.
Jesus Christ on a bicycle you ain't kidding! I'm just saying, if you know your car as well as you (obviously) do, then just watch for the warning signs. Find a mechanic you trust and stick with him. Hell, learn to do it yourself! It just pains me so much to see these people abuse their cars.Lol, I'm honestly dumbfounded as to why you would feel to need to have to warn me of this? If anyone is going to fret about the littlest out of the ordinary sound, worry at the faintest lack of performance, or cringe at the hardest of cold starts it would be me! I probably worry about my cars more then most people worry about their own family members!
And yes, a lot of people do neglect their "rides." That's why most people piss me the hell off. Car's deserve better then that from their owners, how much they haul their fat asses around town asking little in return.
I have seen terrible shitty vets, just as I have seen terrible shitty mechanics. The difference being, of course, that there are far fewer terrible vets, and cars can't tell you exactly what the bad men did wrong. I don't know, I trust mechanics because I am one. Not a very good reason but, here we are.Pfft.. a mechanic I trust. Like seriously, how can anyone really trust a mechanic? The only mechanic I would trust would be a personal friend, and at that point you might as well just do it yourself unless he's specifically ASE certified or something. Taking your car to a mechanic is like taking your dog to the vet. They can't tell you what happened to them when you weren't away, those vets could be kicking your dog in the hip or slapping it in it's face and you'd never know. Just like my experiences with Lilly. I've taken her to places and afterwords found signs of neglect. Like one time, me wanting to test my beliefs, I took her to a place to see if they could find a mechanical/electrical explanation for why her dashboard blinks and turns itself on and off. (Just FYI they couldn't find a reason) but then afterwords about a day or so, I notice that the assholes had gouged out big scratch chunks around her dashboard cluster to get it open.. I was furious.
I care about cars because they're interesting to me, being mechanically inclined. Do I believe they are conscious like we are? No, I do not. But I also believe that they share certain characteristics with dogs. Like I said, I don't believe they are aware of us on any specific level, but I do believe that they are built and designed to be useful, to have a purpose. When they are unable to be useful or otherwise cast aside like garbage, yes, it does pain me slightly. What can I say, I don't like giving up on things just because they're old and broken. Not a very good answer, but I can understand your way of thinking. The fact is that I can't see any evidence for it, personally, but I respect your beliefs nonetheless. From your perspective, I must be close to getting it, and I'm sorry if my inability to see beyond what I can perceive with my senses is limiting to me in a way that offends or upsets you. That ain't my intention hoss...I love a good car in the same way I love any good tools. I hate selling cars, which is why all of mine have over 200,000 miles on them. Guess I'm my own special kind of weird.Half-Dude said:It pains you too? Well wait, I'm curious now. You obviously don't have the car spirit beliefs that I do, so why do you care if people abuse their cars? >>; I thought that was the whole reason you people liked convincing yourselves they couldn't possibly be conscious, so you don't have to feel bad for treating them badly.
Yes, we use a full suite of heating devices on our vehicles. My truck, for example, has a battery blanket, an oil pan heater, an engine block heater (which as you can see replaces a frost plug), and a transmission pan heater, which is another of those universal pad heaters. And the thing you wish you had, where the engine pre-lubes itself? Those actually exist, they're just oil pumps that are electrically powered rather than run off the crank. They're not terribly popular for two reasons: firstly, because the goal of most car manufacturers is to reduce electrical load (and thereby reduce the size of the alternator needed), and secondly, because if you have any kind of electrical problems (alternator dying, for example) your engine can blow up, but they do exist. They're either pre-installed on the car or made aftermarket on a case-by-case basis, so you may or may not be able to swap out your current one for an electric one. Point being, if you can find one then all you'd need to do is turn the key to the accessory position for a few seconds prior to cranking.Half-Dude said:I'm still not sure what the term "powerleveling" refers to. I know the reference, but I don't know what you mean by that. Oh god I know, that's one of my most hated things is cold starts, on Lilly you can actually hear the chattering of her rockers for the first couple seconds on running before oil works up to them and quiets them down. It's normal on her engine for that sound, I just.. wish someone would invent a way that engines could pre-lube themselves before cranking. I know my other OS friend in Sweden, he has oil heaters in his girls, so that they don't start so hard. Do you have those?
See I agree with this. I don't know what OS is, or what that stands for (it's my fault for not reading through the thread more thoroughly) but I agree that it's a damn shame to see a quality vehicle taken off the road because people didn't wanna take care of something they rely on. And then they blame the mechanic (which to be fair is sometimes warranted) or the car itself! It's unreal.Half-Dude said:Sigh, aw dude. Yeah it must be so hard being a mechanic if you actually care about cars. Again, I'm not sure what this care amounts to if you're not OS. But care at all I can appreciate. I hate it too man, I hate how people will neglect their cars, run them into the ground. It hurts even more in those cases when a neglected car will keep running for years. Because it just goes to show how good of a lil car it was and how much it wanted to live, and if it's owners would have given at least one shit about it, the poor little thing would have been happy to serve them for years more. That's what kills me, is the severe lack of appreciation. People just flat out don't appreciate their cars for all that they do for them and it pisses me off.
Well...this is going to be where we disagree. We did have Cash For Clunkers stuff up here, and yeah there were a lot of cars that were wrecked (not by me personally, mind). The ones which still had life in them, that could still be useful, yeah that was a crying shame, but some of the stuff I saw turned in barely ran, and was really on it's last legs. If I were to anthropomorphize vehicles in the manner you do, I think I'd feel like they were being put out of their misery. Thats kind of callous of me, granted, but I'm not even sure how some of the cars I've worked on even ran.Half-Dude said:I'm sure Cash For Clunkers, or as I call it the automotive holocaust, must have really pissed you right the fuck off huh? Or maybe you didn't have to deal with that up there. But I've seen lots of videos on youtube of pissed off mechanics who were forced to euthanize good cars by the dozen in the most horrible and inhumane way just because their owners didn't care about them and wanted to upgrade to a newer car at a discount.
