Chasing the Moon

It’s been on my list to add to the Josh & Birdie universe, and the lovely @sluttywagner gave me just the push that I needed. This one’s for you!

Enjoy Josh & Birdie’s engagement story. I hope you all like it!

Warnings: mainly fluff and some slight sexual content (18+ please)

____________________________________________

“Birdie! Back a bag baby, we’re going to the lake house!”, Josh announced loudly as he walked in through the front door of your shared home.

“Oh really? And when did we make this plan?”, you called back from the living room. You had just settled down onto the couch with a book and a cup of hot tea, your favorite blanket wrapped snuggly around your legs.

“About an hour ago.”

Josh rounded the corner into the living room, and quickly made his way over, wrapping his arms around your shoulders and placed a kiss on your temple.

“Let me guess. Jake had a sudden burst of inspiration and needs some time out in the woods,” you mused, pulling Josh onto your lap.

“No..it’s actually just gonna be you and me. If you’ll go with me?” Josh asked quietly, a small quiver in his voice.

“Of course I’ll go with you J. Why wouldn’t I?”

Josh didn’t answer you back, but instead gave you a sheepish smile, his cheeks turning the softest shade of pink.

“I’d go anywhere with you. You know that. Right?”, you asked softly, slightly confused by Josh’s apparent embarrassment. Or maybe nerves? You weren’t entirely sure. You couldn’t help but to reach out and rub your thumb over his blushed cheek.

Josh nodded slowly and placed a lingering kiss on your lips.

“I’d go anywhere with you too Birdie,” Josh muttered quietly.

“Well now that that’s settled, get the hell off of me so I can get ready,” you teased, trying to wiggle out from under him. You weren’t sure exactly what was going on with Josh, but you knew he needed an energy shift to lighten the mood.

Josh chuckled, and spread himself out across your body.

“But I’m so comfortable babe,” Josh replied, giving you an award winning smile.

“You know what? You’re right. Let’s just stay on the couch all night.” You pretended to yawn and snuggled even further into the cushion.

“Fine, fine I’ll get up!”, Josh surrendered, standing up and pulling you with him.

———

The hour long drive to the lake house was oddly quiet. Road-trips with Josh usually consisted of your own version of carpool karaoke, sung at an ear splitting volume.

But tonight, Josh kept the stereo volume low, with both hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. At this point you were more confused than ever by Josh’s nervous demeanor.

“Is everything okay Josh?”, you blurted out, not wanting to hold it in any longer. “You’re acting weird…”

Josh’s eyes grew wide and you watched as he focused on controlling his breathing. He took a deep breath in before responding.

“Yeah, I’m sorry Birdie…I know I’ve been acting strange. I just really want this weekend to be special…not gonna lie, it’s making me a little nervous”, Josh answered slowly, taking a quick glance at you.

“Anytime spent with you is more than I could ever ask for babe.” You reached over and laced your fingers into Josh’s free hand.

“Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve you,” Josh replied, a small smile spreading across his lips.

“Well you do. And I’m sorry to say it, but you’re stuck with me. Permanently,” you stated matter-of-factly.

Josh brought your hand to his lips, kissing your skin gently.

“Good,” he muttered against your skin.

_____

Due to a bit of traffic, you pulled up to the lake house later than you had planned. The sun had set and Josh was bummed that the two of you weren’t able to watch it’s decent behind the mountains surrounding the lake.

“I know it’s getting dark, but maybe we could take a walk around the lake?”, you suggested. “I wanna stretch my legs after that long drive.”

“Yeah okay, we can do that,” Josh replied. “Let’s go.” He laced his fingers in yours and the two of you walked down to the shoreline.

_____

It wasn’t long before you were in complete darkness, and your path was lit only by the light of the full moon. Josh was quiet and seemed to be mesmerized by the moon’s reflection on the surface of the water. And you couldn’t blame him. The moon was the palest of yellows and it’s light glistened and shimmered across the smooth dark water. A beam of light connecting the water to the sky as if they were one.

“Don’t you wish you could just reach out and touch it?,” you spoke softly.

“What? The moon?”, Josh questioned, seemingly being pulled out of his thoughts.

“Yeah. Up in the sky it feels light years away. But there, on the water, it seems like I could just scoop it up. It’s one of the most beautiful things I think I’ve ever seen.”

You both stopped in front of a short wooden dock to gaze at the water.

“Well, let’s go catch it then.” Josh pointed to the end of the dock, where a small wooden row boat was tethered by a rope.

“We can’t just hijack someone’s boat Josh,” you giggled. “Plus, the moon’s reflection doesn’t just stay put in one spot.. we’ll never catch it.”

“We’re getting in the boat Birdie”, Josh proclaimed. “Come on, it will be worth it. I promise.” He looked at you pleadingly and began pulling you down the dock.

“Fine, but I swear to god Joshua Michael, if you tip us over, I will kill you,” you relented, making Josh cackle loudly.

It was a miracle the two of you even made it onto the boat. As soon as Josh stepped into it, the boat began sloshing back and forth rapidly and Josh nearly lost his balance. After he finally steadied the boat, it took quite a bit of convincing before you carefully lowered yourself onto the bench next to him.

You soon realized that Josh really was determined to get this boat into the beam of light skimming across the water just out of reach in front of you. Every few strokes of the oars, Josh would mutter to himself, “almost there…just a few more feet.”

After what felt like ten minutes, you placed your hand on top of Josh’s to stop him from paddling any further.

“Ah fuck it,” Josh sighed. “I just wanted to get you right into that moonlight.” He looked up at you from under his eyelashes and chuckled quietly.

You leaned forward, kissing his lips gently. “Don’t beat yourself up Kiszka. It’s the thought that counts,” you muttered against his lips. You felt him smile and pulled back to return the gesture.

“Hey Birdie?”, Josh asked quietly, his voice growing shaky.

“Yeah?”

“You wanna know the first time I knew I wanted to be with you forever? That-that you were my person?” Josh gulped audibly and turned his whole body towards you. All you could do was nod your head. The two of you had always teased about being together forever, but you had never wanted to put any real pressure on Josh, knowing how vulnerable he felt about giving himself fully to you. You reached over to grab his hands, knowing your touch would help anchor him. Josh took a deep breath and looked into your eyes.

“Remember that night we went skinny dipping? Out at the lake? You were standing in the water, and your skin was glowing under the moonlight, like it is right now��and I just knew you were the one. Everything about you that night was intoxicating. The way the stars reflected in your eyes…the feeling of your skin under my fingertips. You were so soft. Like velvet. And I didn’t want to stop touching you. The way you laughed, with your eyes all scrunched up. That right there has always been music to my ears…I swear you were like a siren coming out of the water to capture my heart and I wished so badly in that moment that you would keep it forever. When we went back to the tent, and you fell asleep on my chest, I prayed and prayed to the universe that you felt the same way I did and that one day you would choose me to be only yours.”

You felt tears begin to well in your eyes hearing Josh’s sentiments. “You are mine Josh…” you whispered. “You always have been.”

Josh smiled softly, with glassy eyes of his own. “Well I wanted to ask you something earlier, but I think right now is a better time than ever.”

He reached into his jacket pocket and with a shaky hand pulled out a small wooden box. There was no denying the fact that your heart had come to a full stop when you saw what he was doing.

“Wait, Josh? Are-are you proposing??”, you managed to squeak out, a whole colony of butterflies now occupying your stomach.

“Yeah, I would really like to…is that okay?”, Josh giggled nervously, his cheeks now blushing a brilliant shade of red.

You nodded your head rapidly, too stunned to speak, and Josh attempted to kneel on one knee in front of you without rocking the boat too violently. Once the boat was steady, Josh looked up at you with pure adoration in his eyes and took both of your hands into his.

“Y/n, I mean it when I say you’re the only one for me. You’re my world, my everything. You’re the only one I want to come home to, you’re the voice I want to hear on the phone when I’m away. You’re the only person I want to wake up next to every morning. All I can picture when I look at you, is you walking down the aisle towards me. Birdie, it would mean the absolute world and more to me if you would be my wife.”

You could now feel the tears trickling down your cheeks as you watched the man of your dreams proclaim his love to you.

“Please just ask me already Josh”, you choked out, cupping your hands against his cheeks.

Josh giggled, turning his face to kiss your hand and bent down to pick up the box he had placed on the floor of the boat.

With tears happily falling from his own eyes, Josh opened the box to reveal your ring, a single oval diamond on a thin gold band, that glistened brightly in the moonlight. Your heart stopped again seeing the ring. It was absolutely perfect. Perfect because Josh had picked it out just for you.

“Birdie…will you marry me?”

“Yes, yes, yes! A million times yes!”, you cried grabbing Josh’s face and pulling him into a deep kiss.

“Babe, let me put the ring on your finger,” Josh giggled into your lips.

“Okay, okay”, you laughed and held your left hand out towards Josh. He slowly slipped the ring onto your finger, as if this was the most important task in the world.

“I don’t think I’ve ever felt is happy in my entire life”, Josh whispered softly to you.

“Me neither,” you replied. “I love you so so much Josh.”

“More, baby, I love you so so much more. More than you’ll ever know.” Josh cradled your head in his hands and pulled you back in for a deep kiss. “Thank you. Thank you for saying yes,” Josh muttered in between kisses.

Your heart was so full of love in this moment, you thought it was going to explode. You deepened the kiss even more, trying to convey your feelings with your lips. You slipped your tongue past Josh’s lips, pulling a moan from deep within his chest. He wrapped his arms around your waist and quickly pulled you closer to his body, causing the boat the rock uneasily from the sudden movement. Josh began to chuckle when he noticed you start to panic. He gave you one last quick peck to your lips before slowly sitting back down on the bench and grabbing the oars.

“Alright Birdie. Let’s get you safely back to shore so I can make sweet sweet love to my fiancé,” Josh winked and smiled sweetly at you.

“Fiancé. You’re never gonna stop saying that now huh?”, you teased, lovingly rolling your eyes.

“Nope. Well, at least not until you’re my wife.”

Pairing: Eddie Munson x sibling!reader

Summary: Your Eddie’s younger sibling and Eddie tries to comfort you after a tough day at school

A/N: Hello! This fic was requested by the lovely @kaitykat20 ! I loved writing this, it was pretty special for me as I have a similar relationship with my big brother. He and I always have heart to heart convos in the car every week and he’s helped me through more problems than I can count. I hope you all are ready for some big brother Eddie!

“Hey Weirdo!” Eddie called out as you hurried up to your big brother’s van, a bright smile on his face once he saw you. You shot him a glare as you brushed past him as you made your way to his passenger side door and yanked it open, ignoring the, “Hey!” he called out as you slammed and locked the door behind you.

Eddie ran to the other side of the car and jumped into the drivers side seat, looking at you as he shut the door. “What’s gotten into you Weirdo?” He asked, concern clear in his voice. He didn’t really need to ask, he’s seen how the other kids in your year here at Hawkins High could treat you, but you asked him not to get involved and he wanted to respect your boundaries. Even if it upset him to see you so hurt.

“Stop calling me that Eddie. Let’s just go home.” You snapped, turning away from him completely to look out the window. You ignored the sad sigh your brother let out as he started the ignition. The old van thundered to life and began rumbling comfortingly around you as you rested your head against the cold glass and squeezed your eyes shut.

You were Eddie’s younger sibling, a product of your father’s second marriage after leaving Eddie’s mom many years ago. You were raised together as best as your parents could while being in separate houses, but you started spending everyday together once you both wound up at your Uncle Wayne's house after issues with your parents became too unstable for you both.

You loved your brother and your Uncle, but just being born into this family immediately put a target on your back. Most days you could tell all the kids at school to fuck off, it’s not like any of it was in your control after all. But some days, much like today, you couldn’t handle it. Couldn’t handle the fact that the other kids made fun of you both for having different moms, how you couldn’t afford school lunches or new clothes, how you lived in a trailer park. Everything out of your control, yet somehow your fault.

The ride home was quiet- well, besides the music your brother was always blaring- as Eddie didn’t know what to say or do. He wanted to help, say something encouraging or comforting. But what could he say that he hasn’t told you multiple times over the years? The bullying never stopped, Eddie had just grown a thicker skin over the years. So who was he to tell you it’ll get better when you can clearly see that it wouldn’t? He drummed his fingers on his steering wheel in thought, wracking his brain for anything he could do to at least get you to smile again. Even if it didn’t fix everything.

You threw yourself from the van as soon as Eddie parked in front of the little trailer, barely even waiting for him to come to a complete stop before you jumped out and slammed the door behind you as you practically ran into the trailer. Eddie groaned as he rubbed his face in frustration at himself, he needed to figure out what to do.

The metalhead quickly followed you into the home and sighed as he saw your bedroom door shut, your favorite band blaring through his old stereo -another hand-me-down item that you had to deal with while everyone else got something new- as you drowned out the world.

“What’s going on with them?” Wayne asked from his spot on the small couch as he shoved his shoes on to get ready for work.

“They wouldn’t tell me, but I think the other kids were being mean again.” Eddie replied dejectedly as he plopped on the couch next to his uncle.

“Ah, right.” Wayne sighed. He tried his best and knew you loved and appreciated him, but it was hard for him to know that he couldn’t improve your situation as much as he wanted, for both you and Eddie. “Well, maybe try talkin’ to them later. Give ‘em some cool off time and maybe you can go on one of your drives while I’m out. You know how that usually helps at least a little.” He suggested with a little knowing look. “There’s leftovers, but here’s a little McDonalds money. Get them some fries.” He said, pulling a small wad of cash out of his pocket and handing it to the boy. Eddie knew this was most definitely his uncle's money for lunch, but he also knew that Wayne wouldn’t take it back if Eddie tried to refuse so he just nodded.

Wayne got up with a little groan and Eddie hid a wince, working so many hours a week at his age was tough on his body. It wasn’t helped by the fact that even though he moved you all into a 2 bedroom trailer as soon as he could, he wanted you both to have your own spaces and chose to sleep on a small fold up bed in the living room every day. Eddie hoped that he knew how much both of you appreciated everything he did for you. “Thanks Uncle Wayne.” Eddie said with a small, sad, smile.

“No need to thank me, Eddie, you know that.” The man mumbled as he threw on his coat and grabbed his keys.

“Stay safe. Come back home.” Eddie said simply, it was the closest thing the two men could say to saying ‘I love you’.

“Stay safe. Come back home.” Wayne nodded back, shooting your door one final concerned look before he walked out of the trailer.

It was hours later and you still hadn’t come out of your room and you were starting to get hungry. You were still upset, but calmer now, and you were deciding if you should go out and finally talk with Eddie and get some food. As if on cue, there was a knock on your door.

“Hey, weird- Little M?” Eddie called out over your music, correcting himself after you asked him to stop calling you his normal nickname for you, choosing his back up from when you were young kids. A small ghost of a smile appeared on your face at his effort, he was always trying to be a good brother. “Listen, Wayne gave us some money, wanna go get fries?” He asked, still outside as he waited for your response.

Your stomach grumbled at the idea of nice, hot, crispy fries and you sighed. You knew that this wasn’t just a ride to get fries. Every time one of you had a bad day you’d get in the van to drive around and talk it out. Whether it was from a fight between you two, or issues at school, the van was your safe place to work through it and Eddie knew that. You chewed on your lip anxiously for a moment as you decided whether you were ready and sighed lightly as you got up and turned off the stereo. “I’ll be out in a minute Eddie.” You replied as you started putting on your shoes.

“I’ll meet you in the van.” He said, you could hear the relief in his voice and felt a pang of guilt. You hated worrying your family, knowing that it wasn’t their fault that you were going through this, you were all struggling in some way. You just let it get to you a little more than they seemed to.

You shrugged on your jacket as you walked out of the trailer, spying the small smile Eddie shot you as you bounded up to the van. “Ready?” He asked as you got situated in your seat, only pulling out of his parking spot once you sent him a little nod.

The town flew by you as Eddie sped through the sleepy streets, the mixtape he had made just for you blaring through the speakers as he drove the familiar path to the restaurant. He let you sit in silence together on the way there and as he pulled through the drive-thru and ordered your food, only finally deciding to talk as he drove out onto the street again, turning down a back road to take the long way back to the trailer park.

“What happened, Little M?” He asked gently after he lowered the music so you could talk.

You chewed the fries in your mouth slowly as you thought of what to say, “Tyler was making fun of me at lunch, talked about dad and how he’s in jail and called me trailer park trash again. Everyone laughed and piled on.” You sighed out, not noticing the way your brother’s hands tightened briefly around the steering wheel. “I know you’re gonna tell me to just ignore them, but it’s hard Eddie.” You said, Eddie’s heart clenched at how sad you sounded.

“I know it is. I know how hard it is, I promise.” He said seriously, shooting you a quick knowing look before turning back to the street with a sigh. “I’m sorry if I ever-” He paused, briefly chewing on his lip as he thought of the right words to say. “I’m sorry if I ever made you feel like you shouldn’t be upset about it, or that you have to just ignore it. You don’t. Fuck, I don’t even ignore it every time. I just try to hide it from you.” He admitted with a little shake of his head. “I just hoped that maybe you’d believe that it gets easier to ignore and maybe it would be. I should have just been there for you more.”

You stared at your big brother for a long moment as you took in his words, watching as he mumbled the words to the song playing softly through the speakers as he waited for you to respond. “You have been there for me Eds, you and Uncle Wayne have been here for me more than anyone else ever has. I think it’d be much harder if I was still with my mom.” You said quietly, shoving some fries into your mouth quickly. “I did take a page out of your book today though.” You said with a small smile.

“Oh?” Eddie asked with a raised eyebrow, your smile mirrored on his face as he stole some fries out of your bag, “What’d you do this time mini me?” He teased lightly.

“Before the rest of the kids joined in, I flipped him off after he talked about dad and said that I couldn’t wait for his dad to go to jail too from selling all those shitty used cars. The whole town knows they’re full of stolen car parts. He did not like that.” You chuckled out, beaming when Eddie busted up laughing.

“Oh I’m sure he didn’t. Did he make that pinched up face and get all red again?” He asked as he took a screeching sharp turn, happy to hear your excited laughter as he did.

“Yeah, he looked like a tomato!” You laughed out as you held onto the door handle as the van swung.

Eddie sped up on a deserted piece of road, driving like a maniac as he was fueled by your giggles, the two of you screaming the lyrics to the Black Sabbath song blaring through the speakers. The van was both of your safe place for stuff like this. You remember when Eddie got the van, you were 13 and he was 16, and as soon as he came back to the trailer with it he told you to hop in and took you for a joyride around Hawkins. There had been countless rides around the state, camping in the van by the lake, rides to theme parks when you had a little extra money. Every issue you had in the last 4 years had been solved in this van.

“I know you know,” Eddie started as he slowed down to be only minorly speeding as the trailer park came into view. “But I’ll always be here for you Little M. No matter what.” He promised, shooting you a gentle smile.

“I know that Eddie. Thank you. I know you sometimes don’t feel like it, but you’re the best brother I could ask for.” You said, returning his smile as he parked in front of the trailer. “And you can go back to calling me Weirdo. I like it.”

Eddie beamed at you, relieved that you were finally feeling better and touched by your words. “Okay Weirdo, thank you. Let’s go watch that movie we rented yesterday again okay?” He asked before pulling you into a quick hug.

“Sounds good Eds.” You chuckled as you were crushed in your brother’s arms.

Neptune by Hans Moravec (1984), The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. “Neptune is a three wheeled robot trike. The front wheel both drives and steers and the two rear wheels are passive. It’s a very simple motion control system and even simpler power system. This means it works, and works well, and worked for over six years through different projects. The steering and drive motors are synchronous AC motors controlled through relays. An onboard 68K board provided timing signals and turned relays on and off for motors and accessories. Neptune’s sensors included stereo vision and a ring of ultrasonic time-of-flight sensors.” "Pluto is complex and there were too many things that could go wrong when they were testing. So we built Neptune, a very simple robot that's essentially a tricycle with a motor." – Mike Blackwell, Hans on ROBOTS, Enter Magazine, June 1984.

riMcLaren 570 GT | 322 km/h run & faster 100-200 km/h than a 992 Turbo S |...

This guy does not work for mclaren but it's kinda been a little accurate it is going 100 to 200 it's a tough speed he's been a politician in United States for 40 years I did not have yours in about vice presidential nominee JD Vance and he said to be honest I don't know him I don't think I've ever met him who's gonna take it over 'cause it's a huge **** they're talking about the bases in the USA and this is the Max plans to put him back in and what we say is yeah we've already done it and it comes out like crap OK idiots there interfering with everything but regardless it's not that fast

= Zero to 60 and 5.9 seconds

damn slo And our daughter is laughing she says you have to put the kick car on the mclaren probably

= Quarter mile 11.1 seconds

= Top speed 200 50 mph.

With our kid which we have not formally named yet and the max I kinda dig in the female name argument and we like it they like it but he wanted to name his own company something of his but Hera thinks she might start a different one that's more like this smyth to fight teh female trumpsters we agree. And will help with the design and make it a little bit cooler and she agrees she wants to make it look really cool no this fix the rear use bigger tires in the back and pump it out a little not massive changes but the back end would look like a mid engine and not extravagant even though his is gonna look a little bit snazzy and it's true

our kit car We provide everything but the donor car and the donor car must have an engine with lower miles that works well the transmission works well driveframe and the wheels hubs are in decent shape and we have to change the suspension yes and the brake system but not the brake fluid delivery and the controls are pretty much gonna stay. We will change the gages and the gear shifting and steering mechanism. Wiring harnesses mostly will be changed. We will provide a full shell a full roll cage and cage where required for a drop on a one step process where you don't have to attach anything to the shell except for the glass and some interior components. The other components you have to put in to the bottom of the car which would be the gear shifting area the center console in other words and carpeting the lower dashboard and upper dashboard and seats and there will be 4 by the way. we start with the And she says no we're gonna do both cars the same way and they look different and it's true hers will look more like a girl's car and they do have a style and it's a supercar style and it will look very hot to guys too. We will include a top end kit and the exhaust kit and we will also provide the new electronics to go with it and the electronic module that goes with your cell phone or the drop in digital readout of your gage is. It also includes super cooling.

Magillicutti: so add mine in Morrisetti ahaha good i like it its my idea lol truetoo he heard it.... Both will have a donor car a Chevy or a Ford Compact 4 door they start with 135 horsepower and that's what going to model here.

Both cars will have very similar performance within four or five mph it will have a different look heres more like Bugatti is more like Ferrari and the mclaren.

= 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds

= quarter mile 7.9 seconds.

= Top speed 380 mph

Price of Kit Approximately $10000 add the tires and rims and it's $12,000

Donor car 70 or Ford or other and we're looking at other vehicles usually these two and possibly dodge due to the frame. And his son and daughter say the frame on Dodge is sufficient as to the 4 so we're gonna go ahead with that too dodge. The price of the donut car range from $3000 to about $8000 and those are used. Some people might use the new car which is about $15,000. You'll be retaining your air conditioning the original stereo will be removed and you're responsible for that which is nice because people will put expensive systems in the other things you're responsible for would be to register and insure it but we'll provide DOT papers there's a list of items that they require we will have all that documentation included in the package and for each state in other words every state will be covered and it's not hard there's like three states that have extra but we like those things and we'll put in a booklet so you can't lose it and they have a checklist but you have in the book all the proper documentation if they required you photocopying the book one page at a time and it's only gonna be like 15 pages. It's a great way to do it because people won't lose anything. Also when you're at the DOT they'll ask you why you're buying it what you're doing it for and the obvious answer is you cannot afford a car that's a sports car and then this is a cheap sports car. and that's the pat answer any other answers usually won't be given approval. There are people who say the body is ruined and I need a new one and this is one of the only kids I can find that's a very acceptable answer. It still sees four people. Include a complete safety package that meets and mostly exceeds all the DOT requirements as does the exhaust and top end and glass and safety enclosure and roll cage remember you have a roll cage the crash rating is about an 8.5 whereas the crash rating on the 4 door Ford or Chevy or Dodge the donor car is about a 3.8 you're going to be telling them that too it's just in the documentation. And they have applications online and you can look at the booklet and we go through how to fill it out.

I'm putting this project in the pipe we're very serious about it. We talked to the kit car people today because we had to. To this massive guy is going to take it and they're helping and they said this is a concept and he was not aware hundred percent of it the concept is not true but he wasn't aware they do the car and it's just really mad at it and the people take advantage and they're so stupid they think is worth nothing and won't even treat him with respect now for having ideas that work very well. They are happy to accept it and we're going to run tests out where we are and we have cities and we're gonna put them in the cities and it is a go. And he says the testing would have to be done kind of in like erase car area in Kansas where it is still recognized as a city that can go to and it sort of recognized that but he wants us to do it for his order and hers and to stop flexing with it and to see what the hell it is and to get middle men and line it up and do it and he wants it to go quickly as if it's urging because it might be we don't have anything like that out there and we have to see it here what the deal is. And we don't wanna miss the big picture you can hear it we do say if we don't clash it we're gonna hear a bigger picture He wants the guys to get down there and build it and get it ready and say we're ready to test it and get the kit car people on it so I'm gonna send it into Olympus but I said approve it by tomorrow morning

we do have a consensus need it. nd Salazaar and Goddess wife say to do it. so he reqeustss they join the team. and tons are. the kit car gruop is up. and taking applications and for jobs any jobs. need this now to see. and we tesst it and one at first they agree.

the other mmodels one has 150hp and one 180 hp

the 180 hp

Thor Freya

1974 Pontiac Grand Ville

The Pontiac Grand Ville is a full-size car that was a sub-series trim package for the Pontiac Bonneville from 1971 to 1975, which had served as Pontiac's top-trim model since 1958 while remaining below the top level Pontiac Grand Prix

The Bonneville name remained but was now downgraded, and in effect replaced the Pontiac Executive. The Grand Ville and Bonneville shared a number of trim and design elements that distinguished them from the Catalina, and the 1971-72 Grand Villes were built on a stretched-wheelbase version of the GM "B" platform that nevertheless had identical interior dimensions to all other full-size Pontiacs.

In addition to more luxurious interior trimmings, the Grand Ville had distinctive chrome trim at the front and rear to set it apart from the rest of the Pontiac line. Between 1971 and 1974 Grand Ville hardtops featured more upright "formal" C-pillar and backlight treatments that were similar to those found on contemporary GM "C" platform cars (Oldsmobile Ninety Eight and Buick Electra) and not shared with the Bonneville or Catalina. For 1974 only, the Grand Ville had unique parking lights which wrapped around the corner of the front fender. The car was often sold with deluxe appearance options, such as sport wheels and vinyl tops. Rear fender skirts were featured on the 1973 to 1975 models.

Standard equipment on Grand Ville models included a 455 cubic-inch V8 (for 1975, a 400 cubic-inch V8 was standard and the 455 optional), Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission, power steering and power front disc brakes. Popular options included air conditioning, power windows and driver's seat, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, AM/FM stereo with tape deck and much more. One of the rarest options available on Grand Villes and other full-sized Pontiacs during this period was the adjustable brake and accelerator pedals offered from 1974 to 1976.

The Grand Ville enjoyed moderate success from 1971 to 1973. However, the oil crisis of late 1973 and early 1974 led to gasoline shortages, long lines at filling stations, and high fuel prices. These factors sharply cut into full-sized car sales in 1974 as buyers moved towards smaller cars. For 1975, the Grand Ville became the Grand Ville Brougham and included more standard equipment than in previous years, such as power windows and a carpeted trunk. This would be the final year for the Grand Ville series, which included Pontiac's last convertible until 1983. For 1976, the Grand Ville nameplate was dropped and the lineup was renamed Bonneville Brougham, returning that nameplate back to its former full-size top trim level status.

Grand Ville convertibles were rare, with production never exceeding 5,000 units per year during the model run. From 1973 to 1975 the Grand Ville was Pontiac's only full-size convertible offering; 1971 and 1972 full-size Pontiac convertibles were offered in the entry level Catalina line as well. (There were no convertible Bonnevilles after the 1970 model year.) The rarest of the Grand Ville convertibles was the 1971 model with just under 1,800 examples built. The 1975 model was the most plentiful with just over 4,500 cars built, as being the final year of production increased demand. The Grand Ville convertible had the lowest production amongst its corporate cousins, the Oldsmobile 88 Royale, Buick Centurion and the Chevrolet Caprice Classic convertible lines.

Starting with 1973 through 1975 the Grand Ville was offered as a station wagon as the Grand Safari.

Upcoming Electric Car Toyota bZ4x in India 2024 – Features, Specs & More

Expected to grace the Indian automotive scene by mid-2024, the Toyota bZ4X EV is poised to make a grand entrance, heralding Toyota’s significant leap into the electric vehicle domain. Developed in collaboration with Subaru, the bZ4X, also known as Solterra, is set to captivate the market with its estimated price tag of Rs. 27 Lakh and a promise of nationwide availability.

Let’s delve into the specifics of this forthcoming electric marvel.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance: The bZ4X offers two powertrain options to cater to varied driving preferences. The front-wheel-drive model boasts 201 horsepower, while the all-wheel-drive version ups the ante with 215 horsepower. Initial test drives have showcased perky acceleration, coupled with commendable ride quality and responsive steering.

Range, Charging & Battery Life: Equipped with either a 63.4-kWh or 65.5-kWh battery pack, the bZ4X promises a range of up to 252 miles (Limited/XLE) for the front-wheel-drive variant and 228 miles for the all-wheel-drive version. Charging is facilitated by a 6.6-kW onboard charger, enabling an 80 percent charge in under an hour at a DC fast-charger.

Fuel Economy: Efficiency ratings for the bZ4X are impressive, with city ratings as high as 131 MPGe. Real-world testing, however, revealed a slightly lower highway rating of 86 MPGe for the dual-motor Limited model.

Interior, Comfort & Cargo: Inside, the bZ4X offers a spacious environment with a digital gauge display, a 12.3-inch central touchscreen, wireless smartphone charging, and ample storage space. The rear cargo hold provides 26 to 28 cubic feet of space.

Infotainment and Connectivity: All models feature a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, cloud-based navigation, and onboard Wi-Fi. Optional upgrades include a nine-speaker JBL stereo system.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features: Standard safety features include adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, automated emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist, aligning with Toyota’s commitment to driver safety.

Conclusion: As the automotive industry embraces electrification, the Toyota bZ4X emerges as a compelling option, blending comfort, technology, and safety. Despite some limitations in power and range, its imminent arrival signals Toyota’s dedication to sustainable mobility solutions in the evolving electric vehicle market of 2024.
