Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig," 1971. A one-off prototype created by Porsche in collaboration with French aerodynamics specialist SERA (Société d’Études et de Réalisations Automobiles), designed by Robert Choulet. As well as its wider track, the 917/20 was designed to combine the strengths of the 917K (short tail) and 917LH (long tail) models in order to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics. The result was a vehicle with an unusually wide and rounded body. The front lip was short and stubby and reminded some of the snout of a pig. It debuted at the 24 Hours of Le Mans test race in April 1971, and went on to the main 24 Hours of Le Mans race which it failed to finish after a brake failure. It never raced again but the car's extraordinary livery has lived on, being used on a Porsche 911 RSR at the 2018 24h of Le Mans – which won the GTE Pro category

Pardon my lack of art and overall absence lately. I have been caught up in a little side project, and since I just recently reached my progress goal I figured now was a good time to show it off!:

I have a winter greenhouse on my parents' property that, ever since I left home, got completely abandoned and taken over by weeds since it never had a proper floor to begin with. My brothers helped me clear the weeds and put down the rock, but I laid out the new lawn fabric and built that pond wall on my own (it's neither the sturdiest nor the prettiest thing in the world, but it does the trick of keeping the pea gravel from being kicked into what is eventually going to be a pond.)

A few more things I'd like to do before I once again leave home:

Add more stone (probably just a few Home Depot bags here and there to even things out)

Staple that back flap of the pond tarp back into place (you can see the wood where it's falling away)

Use some weedkiller around the edges to keep all that bermudagrass from creeping back in.

Transport some of the old tools & gardening pots back into the greenhouse

But yeah!!! I'm excited for when I can settle in, get a pond pump installed and actually get some stuff growing :D

i am So Close to finishing the most arduous bureaucratic journey of the year (getting my car legal to drive so my landlord lets me park at my apartment and i don't get parking tickets on the street). the last thing i have to do is pass a smog test and if that doesn't fuck me then i should be good before the week is over. Pray For Me.

what people think drawing hentai is like: tee hee hee

what it's actually like: 'well his dick is a different texture than his armor & the jizz so we need a different screentone for each, but i'm not sure what the right contrast is in this threesome piece so let's go in the reference manga & this hentai series you liek and analyze the right value-'

Ford Thunderbird PSV-102, 1955. An experimental first generation Thunderbird fitted with a Boeing gas turbine engine. Accounting for inflation, $188,000 in 1955 is worth $2,159,859 in 2024 so that was quite an investment

Can I be honest. I’m sick of companies of all sorts designing things that basically only benefit/work for people living in california and nowhere else? It’s getting tiring for the rest of us

So apparently now on t*ktok being a terrible driver is a funny “trend” and not being reckless and selfish and endangering everyone else on the road
