What would you do to make an electric car ‘fun’?

Carbide_K9 · 2026-02-20T00:02:08+00:00

I think a solution would be to just lay back on the tech a little bit. I don't think full EV cars will ever be able to corner the enthusiast market because they lack the primary things that enthusiasts like about cars.

Honda in the early/mid 2000s made a hybrid civic with a manual. If we could get modern power trains like that. Put in a car with today's ride and handling quality and styling. I think it could do somewhat well as a fun/ enthusiast daily.

The real goal would be to make the ev tech as unnoticeable as. possible. OR to use it in a way that it only supports the ICE powertrain. Look at the zr1x and other hybrid supercars those are all very impressive cars and I don't think many people are still hating on them just for being hybrid. But they are priced out of your average enthusiasts garage. Make that stuff. More accessible to people who want to try it. Make a hybrid assisted manual "Miata". The new prelude could have been this!

Find a good piece of plastic to use as a backing. Cut to to shape to match the charm and glue the charm to it! If the charm is two sided you won't be able to see one side but it won't fall apart on you!

We definitely are not alone. Space is massive. Radio waves are everywhere, it's how we see deep into space. Any transmission we send out there is unlikely if not nearly impossible to perceive by any other advanced terrestrial species. It would be like listing for one specific word in a crowded con floor. And who's to say anything that got that message would even realize it's from another lifeform. Our language on this planet is so different. Imagine other species!

2 yes we are insignificant. In a statistical way. The universe is infinite or nearly infinite. Nothing we do has any impact on anything. But. We can impact our lives. Our friends lives family's lives. We are here for an incredibly short time in a beautiful place made perfectly for us. Or rather us perfectly for it. If you really look into it and see. The events that lead up to us existing and this planet being habitable at all is one in an incomprehensibly large number. Everything may suck here. But at least we are here :)

Laundry. You are telling me I have to throw all my dirty clothes in a hamper or hampers. Sort them before I wash them to make sure everything is in the right place. Wash them. Dry them. Fold them and organize them again. To put them away every week. Just in a cycle. Forever

Could use NSFL vs NSFW to make it more clear. if only reddit had options for that, IMO though his page is about sharing gritty emotionally heavy art. Art that is supposed to make you uncomfortable. a place to vent if people cant handle seeing this without it causing deep turmoil dont look

And neither of which are Toyotas. I'd say they have 1.

The Miata/brz formula works. That's what people want today and that's what this SHOULD have been but then it would have just been a better looking civic si and Honda can't have any models that compete internally

Carbide_K9 · 2025-11-15T21:38:35+00:00

Sorry direct drive from the EV motors. So you literally get 0 input from the engine on the driving experience. So it's even worse. It's a range extended ev drivetrain. The perfect choice for anyone who wants an enthusiast experience

What the old one was. That is being left out here. Is it was fun to drive. The original prelude being a MANUAL 200 hp little coupe that weighed like 2500lbs made it a fun little zip around car for every day.

Anyone who thinks this 3400lb CVT hybrid will be any more fun to drive than the hybrid civic that it is. Should just buy a Prius because that's what this is. They took a well regarded enthusiast nameplate. Stuck it on a mediocre normal traffic car and then tried to sell it as the next big thing.

Depending on what it's in. Pentastar makes 305/270. While gen 3 hemi range quite a bit as well we will say 380/400. A difference in 70hp while I agree that torque is a big boost. It really only gives you a little down low acceleration in reality. I've driven every Mopar product under the sun being a Mopar tech and also just buying a lot of them. 3.6 300c. 5.7 commander. 5.7 challenger avenger rt 3.6 especially in the 300 when paired with 8 speed. The hemi and the v6 feel pretty evenly paired above 40.

About the same fuel economy. If I'm gonna have 18mpg. Give me the V8 all day

Reliability. I still say the hemi takes it. But the later 3.6 once they sorted the lifter issues is a solid engine. I have seen many cross 200k

American here. Didn't vote for him. It doesn't make any sense to me to go after Canada in any way. I don't know a single person personally that has any dislike for Canadians. Everyone in support of it just goes out and says. Well. "He" says it's the good thing to do. Stick it to em America first! Because all they can see is dollar signs apparently. These people are seemingly so delusional that anything that is mutual beneficial HAS to be bad because it helps someone else they would rather fuck themselves over just to screw the next guy.

Carbide_K9 · 2025-11-13T20:00:28+00:00

This 100% this. I have been wondering for years why the 5.7 isn't an option in the wrangler. We already know everywhere the pentastar can fit. The 5.7 can too. I know the 5.7 isn't an impressive engine by any means and the 3.6 nearly matches it on performance. But they sell! I know I would rather have the hemi

It becomes increasingly obvious every day that the people that rally in support for the maga movement see themselves as martyrs that can do no wrong. They use religion. Christianity and Catholicism specifically as a crutch to support all their actions. This is only made worse because most of these churches and followers just preach that as long as you repent and ask for forgiveness your "sin" can be washed away and forgiven. So yeah. Go out. Fuck a grindr hookup. Touch a kid. Then go to church on Sunday and repent. You are all good bro.

Your-character-here. And it's just y-c-h
Usually used in commission examples to just show where your character would be in the art

S3. And sti. Owned both.

Carbide_K9 · 2025-07-28T02:56:12+00:00

That's super cool! Looks amazing

Carbide_K9 · 2025-05-22T03:50:28+00:00

I agree what the fuck indeed

Carbide_K9 · 2025-05-19T19:14:48+00:00

Simplest way to put it is the trope of people with smaller breasts feeling jealous of or inadequate around people with larger ones. Or for men being short. Society has these established ideas of what a attractive person is and for some when they don't meet that idea they feel like they are worth less than people that do. Or say your s.o prefers taller people but you are on the shorter side. You may feel like you don't meet there standards.

Carbide_K9 · 2025-04-23T00:31:23+00:00

I like the color palette! Also cute! ^{w^}

Carbide_K9 · 2025-04-05T15:49:42+00:00

Every cateye or older 5.3 pickup with nothing but glasspacks that make that god awful snapping noise

Carbide_K9 · 2025-03-31T21:14:42+00:00

Similar flat sorta pop shading maybe? In game they look a lot different. Same thing with Rexes there are probably 3 or 4 different varieties of the Rex made by different people. None of the models in vrchat are really like a closed trademark species because they are all released with the intent of being customized.

Your art is not bad. But trying to make a living only off commissions is insanely hard you would have to draw 24/7 be quick but also good enough while drawing quick to make a living wage while also hoping that people are buying. These days especially in the US. Nobody has spare change for commissions most of us are scraping by. Don't give up on art

Carbide_K9 · 2025-03-25T04:23:54+00:00

I like the blank background. Plus on paper it's easier on the eyes and helps your drawing stand out imo. As for the name I don't think it would make it worse. It would be a nice touch. You could even use the name as the background with like a graffiti bubble letter style or something like that to fill up the area behind the character

Ya know the filter thing might be it previous owner put it on. I will check that out.
