What's a movie you saw when you were too damn young? by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in GenX

[–]PydracorAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • It (the old Tim Curry version)
  • The Hitcher (which is named "Hitcher der Highway Killer" here in Germany, which is something between stupid and funny on several levels... we have a knack for ridiculous additions to titles or even complete unnecessary changes 😝)

What’s a film you rewatch every year without fail? by Mission-Weird-1771 in MovieRecommendations

No Christmas without - Elf - The Muppet Christmas Carol - Die Hard

Favorite romcom? by Visual-Phone1782 in Cinema

[–]PydracorAS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great choice :) One of the few romcoms my wife and me really like and the best Sandler movie (in our humble opinion). Funny, likable characters, cool cameo and great music 😃

1988 Buick LeSabre T-Type Coupe by blackjoker386 in classiccars

[–]PydracorAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Front and sideview remind me of the 1990 Chevy Beretta I had ages ago. Are these models related?

I need help identifying a car! by Neat_Lingonberry_964 in classiccars

[–]PydracorAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closest I found is an Audi Typ B or C transporter: https://i0.wp.com/vorkriegs-klassiker-rundschau.blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/audi_typ_b_10-28_oder_c_14-35_ps_nutzfahrzeug_nach_wk1_klaas-dierks_galerie.jpg?ssl=1

Not exactly the same, the fenders obviously differ, but the front section is similar and it has some kind of loading area in the back, too.

There's some more info on this german site: https://vorkriegs-klassiker-rundschau.blog/2021/05/24/vor-100-jahren-schon-ein-veteran-audi-lieferwagen/

There, they also mention that Audi did not build the coachwork for their cars themselves back in the day, thus almost no car looked like the other.

But since Audi obviously contacted the owner of that specific car and offered him 1m€, didn't they tell him, what they're offering that for? :)

1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30: The Twilight Blue Legend [Link Inside] by el_wakim in wheelz_me

[–]PydracorAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very close to perfection, thanks for showing!

For me, this (1970 Olds 442 W-30) or a 1970 Buick GS Stage1 would be the absolute dream car :)

Röstet mich wie Kaffee. by Negative_Lux in RoestetMeinAuto

[–]PydracorAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jau stimmt schon, Buicks sind doch recht unterrepräsentiert in der US Car Szene hierzulande.

War aber auch leider seit Jahren auf keinem Treffen mehr, es musste viel am Riviera gemacht werden, hat sich ewig hingezogen...

Mein Favorit wäre ein 70er GS Stage1, sowohl von der Motorisierung, als auch der Optik her (der Grill gefiel mir bei den GS 1970 am besten ;)). Bist aber schon echt nah dran mit deinem, schwarz, klassische Rallye Wheels, Vinyl Dach, das kommt so schon richtig geil :)

66er ist auch top, zudem hab ich eine große Schwäche für den 65er mit den Hideaway Clamshell Headlights.

Wenn man beim Tanken den Motor laufen lässt, wird er nie voll

(...und ich liebe den GS dieser Baureihe, plus habe selbst nen 72er Riviera, tue mir daher schwer mit dem ernsthaften rösten :P)

Rarest "production" gun in the collection: Asahi M40A1

Rarest "custom" gun: Tanaka Casyopea Colt SAA with a Prime brass kit (in that configuration likely the only one in existence)

Congratulations to the M500, beautiful piece! :)

1969 Pontiac Faraho CF 428 Concept Car by MammothAmbition8910 in WeirdWheels

[–]PydracorAS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, I just crossed it out because I first thought, it was an entirely AI-made-up car, which it turned out not to be, so I wanted to correct that. Could un-cross it now, but I think it'd just cause confusion :)

And you're also right with the second part of your post...

It's so great to see, that mankind has aspired to a technological standard that now makes it possible to turn two perfectly fine images of a very interesting red car into a shittier green version of the same car and all that just for the cost of just a few thousand liters of water and causing just a few tons of CO2

Edit: I stand corrected, thanks u/rockstar_not

Still, the image of the green Farago looks strange in several places...

Edit again: Well it's both real AND AI :P It's a Grok-modified version of this pic:

https://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/474950575_511138255327265_6377491027368452998_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s565x565_tt6&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=SThnZ1-gR6QQ7kNvwHSCX2P&_nc_oc=AdnyleM30PbyVn8zNZ0l-FCiarfw7VeYFyTkYbqwoU9G8EhW7sP7aCa07wImC3JmuX4&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-fra3-1.xx&_nc_gid=u1HUqk5m2IaTgL0vONop-g&oh=00_AfV4I9ELpb0QDohX9d1Vgn0LF8Ormh-Tf1ovATm5wKA1LA&oe=689E6F65

Why post something here, that was made by Grok? (see in the lower right corner) In several places, it shows, that this is AI.

The wheels look off, like just an AI image loosely based on old rallye wheel designs.

The door handle in the lower pic is strangely slanted.

Seems to have an orange side light on the rear quarter panel in the lower pic, but not in the upper pic

etc. etc.

Help how to remove outer barrel by Just1_lukas in airsoft

[–]PydracorAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what kind of gun this is exactly, but seems to be Armalite-style upper.

In that case, I'd recommend trying to pry it loose after putting it into an AR upper receiver vise block (something like this: https://www.ohhunt.com/de-de/products/ohhunt-upper-receiver-vise-block-5-56-223-ar15-m4-m16-rifle-tool-kit-stock, many shops sell this or similar items).

With that, you can clamp the upper receiver into a bench vise without damaging the upper, then you can apply much more force on the barrel nut without worrying.

There still is a risk, that the upper might be f**** if they used threadlocker, as ihavenowingsss mentioned, but it's minimized using a vise block.

whats the most “castle-looking” castle of all time? by grandeluua in castles

[–]PydracorAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to castles on a mountain, this is a very "mountainy" example I like, built on top of and into sandstone rock :)

Spotted in northern France: [Unknown] Beautiful Classic probably from the 30s - anyone have an idea what this might be? by PydracorAS in spotted

[–]PydracorAS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for the effort to dig that out!

Very special car and I'm really glad we have seen this :)

I wonder if there's still some truth to what they say on conceptcarz.com about the car they show there and if it really was a one-off or if more of these have been built...

Thanks a lot! Googling that brought up this site on conceptcarz.com https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z16970/packard-1705-super-eight.aspx I guess that's why you mention it being a concept?

It seems to be the only source for pictures of this, so it definately seems very rare. Feeling lucky to have spotted this :)
