Easter Egg references, anyone? - Part 1

So, as of late, I have managed to do some car liveries while in GT Sport that somehow manage to reference something of my own past. 

Some “eggs” will be a mere nod to a key location, but I think it is time I do get it off my chest. Sorry, but not so much, for the lengthy post! (Below the “keep reading”)

#1 - Nissan GTR Nismo - Blue

The egg in here is in plain sight. The livery pays homage to something I did back a few years ago - rather the Dunlop sticker goes well with the GTR NISMO’s AWD. Yep, I actually did that figure, in km/h, in my own 4WD! and on factory-spec Bridgestones! (NISMO here has Dunlops standard). I actually submitted this very scape shot to a buddy who was doing a “send for showcase” style thing like Polyphony Digital themselves are rn, and it got complimented by a random viewer of my bud’s IG story.

#2 - GTR Gr.3 - SAGO, with a nod or so.

This actually has two nods. I will say this though - that is a dark gold and maroon stripe set that is complimented by white and black (barely visible, ik). That, is a nod to the highschool I graduated from! (again home to rather quite a lot of personal memories)

There is presence of the racing number itself - which pays homage to the house I grew up in waaaaaay back in the day. 

In terms of non-personal, there’s a thing for the GTR’s own heritage with the Calsonic Blue up front.

#3 - Powerhouse Amuse S2000 - the homage to the old days.

Last one for Part #1 of the post - this livery does a mix of past and present as much as the Gr.3 one above.

The 15 is a personal (yet cheesy, I know), nod to the school that I actually attended back in the day - same principles as before can be applied here as I did have quite fond memories of this place. 

The grey bit up front and the “fighter jet mouth” decal on the side are actual references to the Fortuner I drive currently - as I was once called a “Road Warrior”, by friends (they did ask for a ride to and fro, and we all went on the same day) on a Friday that we had chosen to attend the GamesCon of Abu Dhabi, and then actually had a drive back for a late night group dinner. The “Road Warrior” bit came from the night drive back to Dubai, as I actually, uh, managed to do a lot of defensive driving (my forte!) while still showcasing my joyful side. Can say it was worth the laughs that one night as well as the food. Also I do recall that the casual talk OTW back did kinda almost had me spill the beans on something, but I’m glad that didn’t happen.

To close up the livery eggs, there is a wolf insignia on the back - that, once more, does reference to my current keychain in use on the Fortuner’s keychain ring. The blue used on top does somewhat reference a key group I was a part of during highschool, back in the day - one that somewhat has the same vibes as this one league I’m in rn.
