1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 in Dark Blue Color

The 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a standout in the world of classic muscle cars, embodying the spirit of the early '70s with its bold design and powerful performance. As part of the first significant redesign of the Mustang since its inception, the 1971 Mach 1 features a more aggressive and aerodynamic look. It has a wider and longer body, giving it a commanding presence on the road.

Under the hood, the Mach 1 offered several engine options, catering to different levels of performance enthusiasts. The most powerful of these was the 429 Super Cobra Jet V8 engine, which delivered impressive horsepower and torque, making it a force to be reckoned with in terms of straight-line speed. The car's handling was also enhanced by its revised suspension and wider track, providing a more stable ride.

Inside, the Mach 1 featured a sporty interior with high-back bucket seats, unique trim options, and a distinctive dashboard layout that gave drivers a sense of control and connection with the car. The 1971 Mustang Mach 1 remains a classic symbol of American automotive culture, representing an era of style, power, and innovation that continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide.

Was inspired by seeing other ppl do this so,, a short little fun fact list about my ocs (some of this is also from shorter little one-off posts I made)

These are all prime universe but I may do one for their Imperium versions another day,,

Aria: - Can speak Irish (her and Salvia communicate this way to keep up practice) - Has a 5 y/o little brother - Her favourite video game is The Stanley Parable (because of its absurd dream-like vibes) - She's connected more to Irish culture - so if you've seen her mention fae, that's why, she's researched the mythology and such a lot as well (hence why when she first got stuck in the imperium she compared the dimension swap to entering a faerie circle, and she compared Aurora to a fae because of the 'names obtained' in the bio of the sideblog) - She drinks an unhealthy amount of cream soda,, but doesn't like energy drinks or coffee (caffeine makes her tired)

Millie - Best shot out of her entire Surveillance and Containment team; solos them all when they go to a firing range for practice - She's from South Carolina, and has a slight southern accent still, but she covers it up for work often - She's VERY much not used to getting attention; Mouse paying attention to her and actually reaching out makes her pretty flustered, but positively so - Her favourite video game is Halo Reach.

Salvia - She's a spy for her clan's Queen (she's a member of the House of Baz), relaying classified information from DUMP so that Monarch Baz can have the upper hand in terms of information. - She's lesbian, and before she was turned, she had a girlfriend. They'd both been unempowered, so she's unable to go back to Ireland to see her. - She was turned after falling from some cliffs while talking a walk through the forest with her girlfriend.

Kayli - Used to be incredibly violent, but not aggressively so; measured, calculative, as she used to neutralize enemies of the Chorus, or those the Chorus found to be interfering. She went on trial for war crimes once the main conflict had concluded. She has been reformed for hundreds of years now. - She left a sword in a lake, as a symbolic way to wash away some of her violent sins. ....She may be the source of a couple "Lady of the Lake" 'sightings' in the past. - She pretends to be much younger than she is while she's on the job, acting around 70, since being significantly older can unnerve people. She also usually talks very "human" while on the job; which is only reflected once on her tumblr blog, which she usually uses to speak normally

Cassie - Wanted to be a baker when she was a child. Still has a vague wish of opening a bakery one day. She always has some kind of baked good in her house, or in her car (properly sealed, of course). She offered some of said baked goods to dct-n when they needed to be picked up and driven back to the place they were staying. - She's buff as hell. One day I'll draw it or find a good reference for what she looks like. Most of the pics online are too veiny and skinny? She's very bulky and healthy buff, not really exaggerated bodybuilder buff. - Her last name is 'Bernheim', a Jewish last name made from the Yiddish word for 'bear' and the german word for home, 'heim'. Picked it because it makes sense for her as a bear shifter and a very comforting homey person.

Amelia - Honestly, probably my least favourite out of the probation officers,, feel lowkey bad but she's got the least buildup so far.. maybe one day I'll flesh her out more and give her a roleplay blog but for now alas she doesn't get one,, - She's (somewhat) based off this sporty extrovert girl who's one of my classmates. - She's a sonal energetic,, that's a fun fact because probably no one remembers that because I said it maybe twice LOL - Had an alternative phase in highschool - From Los Angeles originally.

Tagging @lancerthatisntfree and @localpigeon22 and @original-bookshelf cuz their posts inspired this,,

Hiii!! Do you have any Jason & Catherine, Jason & Willis headcanons to spare?? Alsoo, permission to use on fics? 👀

Thank YOU FOR THE ASK!! And of course I love when people use my headcanons!!

For Jason and Catherine I think he gets his love of theatre, especially musicals, from Cathy. She seems like the type to study classics or work at an antique shop or something and a lot of their apartment used to be decorated with assorted knickknacks. It was a little bit of push back against her Catholic upbringing which demonized earthly pleasures and material goods.

Admittedly she used to have hoarder tendencies, she would get very attached to her collections, they became a crutch for her while caring for her mother and after her mother's death, and I think this is what inspired Jason's tendency to keep as little on him at all times. He couldn't stand the clutter for the first few months after Willis was arrested.

I've mentioned it before but I think a big part of why they never had a kid of their own after taking in Jason is because Catherine was scared of passing down her hereditary disease, especially because in my version she originally comes back to Gotham to take care of her sick mom. In this way she spares Jason from dying like her and her mother, but she ultimately fails to save him the pain of watching his mom deteriorate right in front of him.

Jason comes by his autism honestly, from both parents. Neither Catherine or Willis were particularly aware of it but they totally understood all of Jason's interests and his insistence on rigid routines. Neighbors and teachers would be like "don't you find how isolated he is odd?" And they would be like "Nope :) kneeling on the playground collecting rocks and organizing the classroom bookshelf during recess are perfectly normal. And so is him crying when the lights are too bright and eating his food section by section."

I know that Jason was the CHUNKIEST baby, I know it I was there. Catherine and Willis dressed him as a pumpkin as often as they could and he made all the girls and old people in the apartment SWOON and fawn over him. He didn't even have teeth and he was raking in candy.

Catherine and Willis had VERY different parenting techniques, Cathy grew up on a farm going to church every Sunday in Virginia while Willis grew up running Gotham's streets with little to no reliable supervision. So Catherine was kind of a helicopter mom because Jason was her miracle kid, while Willis was a lot more laid back. Which isn't to say that Willis loved him less, but Willis prefers to teach Jason to be self sufficient because he knows exactly what it takes to survive in Gotham.

Willis always wanted to take Jason fishing but due to it being Gotham...that never happened. Regardless, he tries to hit as many of the typical father-son milestones as he could because he never really got to do those things with his own father. Jason wasn't particularly sporty, but he was canonically a baseball fan and I also think he's a hockey fan, so that's something him and Willis bonded over. They definitely found their favorite bonding activity working on cars together though (can someone say shared special interest).

I actually think Jason gets his love of cooking from Willis! I imagine he worked with a lot of street food vendors and at a lot of different mom and pop restaurants, he seems like the type who bounced from a lot of different jobs throughout his teen and college years so he's kind of a jack of all trades and has a bunch of niche skills from his EXTENSIVE career. Willis Todd is much like Barbie to me. But anyway he passed down a lot of those recipes and his love for food and different cultures to Jason. Catherine can cook but after growing up being told it would always be her responsibility, something she was obligated to do as a wife, Willis's delight in doing domestic tasks like that is part of what drew her to him.

Willis had a picture of Jason in his wallet and he bragged about Jason to anyone who would listen so a lot of people recognized Jason on the streets, which put a target on his back but also so many of Willis's friends (exes) knew Jason that part of why Jason survived so long is that people were a lot more willing to help him. There was a not insignificant community of Crime Alley who were delighted as well as suspicious when Jason was adopted. There was a candlelight vigil held for him after he died since no one got to attend the funeral.

Jason has always had Catherine's smile, and he still does. It's amazing how easy it was for her to pass as his bio mom, if you raise someone long enough they'll eventually start to emulate you. No one ever denied that Jason was Cathy's. No one knew Catherine was pregnant? Some of Jay's traits are... unaccounted for? Nope Jason has the same speech patterns and gets the same look when he's judging someone and has that same light in his eyes when he's reading a particularly good book.

In tribute to them he has a tattoo of a shield surrounded by lilies. The shield is for Willis because in some languages his name means resolute protector, and the lilies are for Catherine because like her name they mean purity.

After moving in with Bruce after finding out Willis died he asked to hold funerals for both of them and they have matching headstones at Gotham cemetery. For Catherine's he chose a Bible quote (Timothy 1:7) and for Willis's he chose a dedication to the only version of Willis he knew (loving father, devoted husband, friend of many, brave till the end). The ceremony was public and the venue was overflowing with people who had known Willis, Jason learned more about his dad than he'd ever known before listening to their memories of him. Ma Gunn was still in jail but when word got back to her she sent a letter to Wayne Manor thanking him, because she might be a hateful old bitch but that was still her son.

Mick Schumacher On Fashion, Le Mans and Fronting Tommy Hilfiger's New Campaign

It's a big year for sports, as the Paris Olympics near, tennis champs prep for Wimbledon, and the Euros inch closer. In the midst of it all Tommy Hilfiger is getting in on the action with the release of an International Games collection. Refashioning timeless icons for the new generation, the collection is a modern interpretation of the brand's 1996 capsule collection released to celebrate the Olympics arriving in Atlanta, reworking track-ready styles including archival varsity jackets, rugby jerseys and basketball vests in Tommy's signature red, white and blue. Speaking on the new collection, Hilfiger says: "The sporting calendar sets the cultural pulse for the year, and 2024's shaping up to be amazing. We're building on our legacy of working with pioneers in sport and reimagining timeless American icons through an archival lens." To front the campaign, the US house has turned to the global sporting stage to curate a team of athletes who embody the brand's spirit, including All-Pro NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, college basketball guard Deja Kelly, star of the all-Japan skateboarding association Aori Nishimura, and Formula 1 driver and current member of Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, Mick Schumacher. Ahead of the collection drop, in the conversation below we speak to Schumacher about his first memories of Tommy Hilfiger, his personal style, and prepping for Le Mans.

Ella Joyce: "What was it like working with Tommy Hilfiger? Do you have personal memories of the brand?" Mick: "It was great! Not only is it exciting to wear Tommy and to have attended the NYFW show with all the exceptional details, but to be a part of the campaign and the bigger brand story is just incredible. A personal memory for me is when the brand worked with Ferrari back in the day, before their current partnership with the Mercedes-AMG F1 Team. My dad used to bring back so much kit and, honestly, I was just running around as the best-dressed kid in school!" EJ: "How does the campaign resonate with you?" Mick: "I really believe Tommy was able to create something that brings both sport and style to the table. I'm sporty, I love to do my workouts and be active outdoors, and to be able to do that fashionably is so important. I was so happy to be part of this campaign with other athletes, too. It was amazing to get to know them better and see how their sport and personalities impact their individual styles." EJ: "Off the track, how would you describe your personal style?" Mick: "I think the best word would be 'changeable.' I love to experiment and try new things with my style. I think you can see this across my social media, but I would probably look different if you saw me on the street two days in a row. From a classic look to a more casual or baggy streetwear look, I love the creativity that comes with personal style. It's so fun."

EJ: "You're currently competing in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship. How's it going? What's coming up next for you?" Mick: "Yes, we just had our first race in Qatar, a ten-hour race! It was the first time I had to be on for that amount of time while learning and experiencing that type of race, but it was an interesting run. We learned a lot as a team. One of the cars even scored points, so it proves that we're on pace and the project is moving in the right direction, especially as everyone is gearing up for Le Mans." EJ: "Do you have any pre-race rituals?" Mick: "I don't, actually. It depends on how I'm feeling in the moment. If I'm nervous or stressed, or whatever it is, I'll always try to adapt to what's happening. Maybe one day I'm nervous so I have to work on calming down, and another day I'm too calm so I have to pump myself up. It all depends on the day."

EJ: "You're photographed alongside a host of other athletes for the campaign. How do you think your generation of athletes compares to generations which have come before?" Mick: "I think we are really different to athletes from the previous generation. Of course, social media and phones have made an impact, but it's also because we're so precise about what we're doing. We have strict training and a solid laid-out plan in front of us on how to achieve our desired results. We have so much research and information which leads our way, while back in the day it was more experimental." EJ: "America and collegiate heritage heavily inspire Tommy Hilfiger. Is there a specific place which inspires you?" Mick: "The racetrack. I've always been a part of it, from doing laps in a car to just being on the track. In terms of style, I've always been interested in fashion, most likely inspired by my dad at a young age; however, my girlfriend is heavily involved in the fashion world, so it's helpful when I need to know what looks good and what doesn't. Inspiration is all around, so it depends on where I look!"

Michael Savage’s Picks: Muscle Cars from America’s Golden Age

The golden age of muscle cars was a thrilling chapter in American automotive history. From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, muscle cars dominated the streets with their roaring engines, bold designs, and raw power. These high-performance cars represented freedom, speed, and rebellion, capturing the spirit of an era where bigger and faster was always better. Here’s a look at some of the muscle cars that left an indelible mark on American culture.

1. 1967 Ford Mustang GT

The Ford Mustang was the car that started the muscle car craze. While it debuted in 1964, the 1967 GT model became a symbol of American automotive power. With its sleek lines and optional 390-cubic-inch V8 engine, the Mustang GT could pack a punch both on the road and at the drag strip. The Mustang also became a cultural icon, appearing in movies, TV shows, and music, cementing its legacy in American pop culture.

2. 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

The 1969 Dodge Charger R/T is one of the most recognizable muscle cars ever made. Known for its aggressive stance and the optional 426 Hemi engine, the Charger was all about performance. Its appearance in popular media, most notably in "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the "Fast and Furious" franchise, helped cement its place in muscle car history. The Charger’s bold design and unrelenting power made it a favorite among muscle car enthusiasts.

3. 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

When it comes to raw muscle, few cars can rival the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. This beast came with a 454-cubic-inch V8 engine, producing up to 450 horsepower. The Chevelle SS embodied everything that made the muscle car era special: power, performance, and style. Its signature twin racing stripes and aggressive front-end design made it an instant classic and a favorite among collectors.

4. 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge

The Pontiac GTO, often referred to as "The Judge," was one of the cars that defined the muscle car era. With its high-performance engine options and eye-catching design, the GTO became synonymous with speed and power. The 1969 model, in particular, stood out with its Ram Air III and Ram Air IV engine options, making it a fierce competitor on the streets and the track.

5. 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

The Plymouth Barracuda, especially the 1970 model, was another iconic muscle car of the golden era. With its aggressive styling and powerful Hemi V8 engine, the ‘Cuda was a force to be reckoned with. It combined a sporty design with the ability to produce over 425 horsepower, making it a favorite among muscle car purists. The Barracuda’s distinct look and incredible performance made it a legend.

Why These Muscle Cars Still Matter

Muscle cars from the golden age of American power were not just vehicles; they were statements. They represented a time when automotive design was focused on creating powerful, fast, and stylish machines. Even today, muscle cars from the 1960s and 1970s are celebrated by car enthusiasts, collectors, and pop culture alike. Whether it's the rumble of a V8 engine or the sleek lines of a classic design, these cars continue to inspire admiration and awe.

About Michael Savage from New Canaan

Michael Savage, a muscle car enthusiast from New Canaan, has been fascinated by American automotive history since he was young. His passion for collecting and restoring classic muscle cars, especially from the golden age, has driven him to become a well-known figure in the muscle car community.

Go For a Ride Day

Go For a Ride Day, celebrated on November 22, urges you to just get up and get out! Do you ever feel like you’re tied to your laptop/phone/tablet screens? We’ve become a pretty sedentary bunch — a far cry from the people who discovered countries, oceans, and animals simply by getting off the couch and exploring.  Make today a day to set your spirit free and enjoy your wanderlust on whatever mode of transportation suits you best. Bike, boat, car, skateboard, sleigh—it doesn’t matter what you choose! Pick a location you’ve always wanted to visit and make today the day you’ll go.  

History of Go For A Ride Day

Birthdays are fun and Christmas means presents (if you’re lucky), but nothing quite compares with the magical day you get your driver’s license. That’s when your world truly changes forever. Why? Cars mean freedom. You can suddenly go anywhere at anytime (as long as your parents are cool with your plans). Such is the nature of transportation — something we in the 21st century take for granted. We all grew up with planes, trains and automobiles — so we’re quite used to getting where we need to go.

But it wasn’t always that way. When President Jefferson asked Lewis (and, eventually, Clark) to explore the American West in 1804, there were no nonstop flights from St. Louis to the Oregon coast. As the History Channel describes it: “The excursion lasted over two years.   Along the way they confronted harsh weather, unforgiving terrain, treacherous waters, injuries, starvation, disease and both friendly and hostile Native Americans. Nevertheless, the approximately 8,000-mile journey was deemed a huge success and provided new geographic, ecological and social information about previously uncharted areas of North America.”

And today we complain about trying to squeeze our carry-ons into the overhead bin.

Americans have always loved to “go for a ride” — with whatever mode of transportation existed. Horses. Boats. Bicycles. And of course, the ubiquitous car. The nation had a long love affair with automobiles starting in the mid 20th century and lasting until recently — as a new generation of car buyers, born after the car craze, loses interest in design — focusing instead on practicality. Stellar gas mileage makes Priuses as sexy as Porsches. Well, almost.

Go For A Ride Day timeline

1950s Car culture

Cars inspired new businesses like drive-through restaurants and drive-in movie theaters, and employed one in six working Americans.

1956 Interstate highways

President Eisenhower authorizes $25 billion for the construction of 41,000 miles of the Interstate Highway System.

1964 ‘Pony car’

Ford introduces the sporty and powerful Mustang — the automaker's most successful launch since the Model A.

2019 Driverless cars get smarter

MIT engineers develop a system to help autonomous cars determine if there’s a moving object coming around the corner.

Go For A Ride Day FAQs

What does Go For A Ride Day celebrate?

Go For a Ride Day 2019 encourages us to get out in the world, as opposed to seeing it on a screen. Any mode of transportation will do on this day. What was America’s first car company?

Brothers Charles and Frank Duryea founded the Duryea Motor Wagon Company in 1893, becoming the first American automobile manufacturing company.  What happened to supersonic jet travel?

The Concorde, which flew faster than the speed of sound, never turned a profit. When the plane broke the sound barrier (about 760 mph), it created shock waves that would hit the ground with a loud and sudden sonic “boom.” The FAA eventually banned all commercial aircraft from flying at supersonic speeds over land.

Go For A Ride Day Activities

Make it fun

Make it easy

Make it memorable

Dare yourself to try something new and adventurous. Why not try a mode of transportation you’ve never used before? Suggestions include jet skiing, parasailing, or going on a hot air balloon ride. In colder climates you could try a sleigh ride, or a horse drawn carriage.

Maybe you weren’t born to be wild, but don’t let that stop you from joining in the fun. Play tourist in your own city or neighborhood. Use public transit and see the sights like visitor.

Exploring is an adventure, but it can be even more fun if you have someone to share it with. Bring along an adventurous friend or family member to help make some memories. If your local friends are sticks in the mud, then bring your more adventurous friends along virtually by posting your adventure to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

Why We Love Go For A Ride Day

It’s an escape from reality

It can be great exercise

It helps us be spontaneous

Every now and then we just need something to break up the status quo and make us feel alive! Go For A Ride Day exists for that very reason. It can be hard to get motivated to see new places or even try new foods, but Go For A Ride Day provides the momentum.

You can try skateboarding or using a scooter. How about getting out your helmet and going for a long bike ride? Did you know you can burn over 400 calories an hour horseback riding?

Our lives tend to run to the predictable, and for the most part, that predictability helps the world go round. But we all still have a small streak of rebellion, and that's what Go For a Ride Day helps bring out.

Two standout models were featured at the event: the BMW X7 xDrive40i M Sport and the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport. Both vehicles reflect BMW’s dedication to combining luxury, performance, and innovation, catering to diverse needs while maintaining the brand’s signature style.

BMW X7 xDrive40i M Sport: A Jewel of Luxury and Performance

This sedan is ideal for eco-conscious drivers who still want to enjoy the luxurious driving experience that BMW provides.

ORANGE 67' FORD MUSTANG

When creating digital art of a classic car like the 1967 Ford Mustang parked by the beach, there are many details to consider to bring the scene to life. To start, you'll want to envision the setting: the beach, with its sandy shoreline, the sound of waves crashing, and the salty ocean breeze. Then, visualize the Mustang itself, with its sleek lines, iconic headlights, and vibrant orange color.

As you begin the digital art, focus on capturing the essence of the beach in the background. You might incorporate the soft, warm hues of the sunset, casting a golden glow over the sand and water. Adding in small details like seagulls in the distance or palm trees swaying in the breeze can really enhance the overall atmosphere.

When it comes to the Mustang, pay attention to the reflections on its glossy surface, the way the sunlight dances across the curves of the car. Consider the finer details, such as the chrome accents, the way the paint shimmers in the light, and the vintage feel of the design.

As you work on the digital art, think about the emotions you want to convey. The Mustang parked by the beach evokes a sense of nostalgia, freedom, and a carefree spirit. Perhaps you could add a surfboard leaning against the car, or a pair of sunglasses resting on the dashboard, to further enhance the feeling of a leisurely beach day.

In terms of technique, utilizing digital tools allows for a great deal of precision and control. You can experiment with different brush textures and blending modes to create a sense of depth and texture in the sand, the water, and the car itself. Pay attention to light and shadow, as these elements will bring dimension and realism to the artwork.

Ultimately, the goal is to transport the viewer to this idyllic scene, where they can almost feel the warmth of the sun, hear the waves, and imagine themselves taking a leisurely drive along the coastline in this iconic car. Digital art offers endless possibilities for creating rich, immersive experiences, and the digital art of a 1967 Ford Mustang by the beach is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the beauty of both the vintage car and the serene coastal setting.

The Ford Mustang holds a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts and American culture. It has a rich history and has undergone numerous changes to become the iconic vehicle it is today.

The Ford Mustang was first introduced on April 17, 1964, at the New York World's Fair. It was an instant hit and is credited with creating the "pony car" class of American automobiles—compact, affordable, and highly styled cars with a sporty image. The first generation Mustangs, also known as the "1964 1/2" models, featured a range of engine options and a variety of body styles, including a convertible, hardtop, and fastback.

Over the years, the Mustang has gone through multiple design changes and seen various iterations. In 1969, the Mustang underwent a significant redesign, with a longer body, wider grille, and a more aggressive look. Later generations saw changes in powertrains and technological advancements, with the introduction of fuel injection, turbocharging, and independent rear suspension.

One of the most revered periods in Mustang history is the era of the Shelby Mustangs, particularly the Shelby GT350 and GT500. These high-performance variants, developed in collaboration with Carroll Shelby, added a new level of performance and styling to the Mustang lineup.

In recent years, the Mustang has continued to evolve, embracing modern technology and design while staying true to its heritage. The current generation Mustang, introduced in 2015, features a sleek, aerodynamic design, powerful engine options, and advanced driver-assist technologies. Notably, Ford has also introduced the Mustang Mach-E, an all-electric SUV inspired by the Mustang's heritage.

Throughout its history, the Mustang has remained a symbol of American automotive innovation and performance. Its enduring popularity and influence in popular culture are a testament to its enduring legacy.

As the Mustang continues to evolve, it remains an iconic part of American automotive history and a symbol of the spirit of the open road. With its legendary past and promising future, the Ford Mustang continues to capture the hearts and imaginations of car enthusiasts around the world.

I do have some transformers OCs in mind. They're a group that "spies" around humans and wanted to understand their culture but they ended up having fun with them in the process.

They're more of a neutral group but they're willing to protect humans since they've grown attached to them (mostly kids). Just plain wholesome fun.

Go-kart - they're a sporty and upbeat bot, absolutely loves making races a whole lot fun and exciting

A mini express train ride for kids - she acts like a train conductor, a bit gruff but absolutely sweet with kids

A roller-coaster ride (not the tracks, the ride itself) - he's more of a scientific one and rambles about physics and speed.

A carousel - he loves aesthetics and designs. loves people and nature-watching. A bit feminine and very graceful in spinning.

Bumper car - she's very reckless and spunky. her high-fives tend to hurt someone but she's trying her best.

Ice cream truck - she's curious and excitable. Loves to experiment and analyze frozen treats and their different flavors. They somewhat helps out their human's ice cream business. Though, her pickle-flavored ice cream idea is always shot down by her human friend

Twinsteer(a two seater, can split into single seater components)

Railroll

Sidewinder(snake themed, also the track he's on has that part)

Prancer

Bounceback

Snowbank(some natural ones are shaped like ice cream scoops). If you haven't decided the human's name yet: if male, Canelo(an archaic spanish name meaning winter's bark or cinnamon. It can also be a nickname for redheads); if female, Calanthe(which means Christmas orchid. Orchids are used in Turkish ice cream, or dondurma, which is quite a bit different from regular ice cream)
