#volvo rims

[cyber-northern-lights]

This weekend I'm going to get new rims for my Volvo. Can't wait :D Those are ones what I will buy:

They need some detailing, but defenitely add some sharpness for my guy. Or else he'll look weird with them because of his bulkyness

TRC Cars

Thought I would give my interpretation of what cars I think the characters in trc drive because I wanted to draw them, and because I think the cars are a very important part of the books and I think they say a lot about their owners.

These are specific models that I chose based on the descriptions in the books. None are explicitly canon (bar Gansey's obviously) and some of these are completely random guesses bc there is so little information about the car. This post is also just a compilation of car descriptions in trc.

Disclaimer I do not know anything about cars so don't come for me.

GANSEY:

[... ] Gansey’s hell-tinged ’73 Camaro slicked with black stripes.

1973 Chevrolet Camaro - Orange with black stripes.

Iconic. Will go down in history.

RONAN:

Ronan Lynch’s shark-nosed BMW pulled in behind the Camaro, its normally glossy charcoal paint dusted green with pollen.

His smile was thin and sharp. If his BMW was shark-like, it had learned how from him.

Niall Lynch was handsome and charismatic and rich and mysterious, and one day, he was dragged from his charcoal-gray BMW and beaten to death with a tire iron.

2008 BMW M3 E90 - Sparkling Graphite Metallic.

Originally had another model, but then found out it was released in 2020 which is wayy too late so switched to this older one. Was a bit confused about the colour because Gansey refers to it as charcoal-grey and Ronan calls it black, so I looked up the specific colours this model was released in and chose from those. As I believe the trc takes place in the early 2010s, this is a newer car.

DECLAN:

Then Ronan grabbed Declan’s suit coat and used it to throw him onto the mirrorlike hood of Declan’s Volvo.

“Not the fucking car!” snarled Declan, his lip bloody.

2006 Volvo S60 - Silver

Just seems like exactly the type of plain boring unspecial car Declan would have. Chose silver because it's referred to as mirrorlike and that also makes so much sense for Declan. Not really sure when Declan got this car but I think 2006 is safe enough.

NOAH:

Czerny had pulled up in his red Mustang. He hadn’t gotten out of the car.

In the clearing, entirely out of place, was an abandoned car. A red Mustang. Newer model.

Bling,” Ronan remarked, kicking one of the tires. The Mustang had massive, expensive wheels, and now that Gansey looked more closely at the car, he saw that it was covered with aftermarket details: big rims, new spoiler, dark window tint, gaping exhaust.

2004 Ford Mustang GT - Red

This one was quite straightforward. I know it was called a newer model and 2004 isn't really that new if the books are set between 2010 and 2013 but it's Gansey's POV and he's obviously been exposed to a lot of older cars so from his perspective 2004 is new. Obviously it would look different with all the alterations.

ADAM:

"Adam, you want a piece-of-shit car? Save me the tow."

His new car was of uncertain make and model year. It was a two-door something and smelled of automotive body fluids. The hood, passenger-side door, and right rear fender were clearly from three entirely different cars. It was a stick shift.

“Look, just flash your lights if something goes wrong,” Gansey said, standing before the open door of his black Suburban. He ordinarily kept it here, but no one really trusted Adam’s new vehicle to make the drive across the state.

2001 Honda Accord EX Coupe - silver

I really don't know what I'm doing with this one. My only justification is that it's a Coupe, a Honda, really old, and was sold in the US.

KAVINSKY:

Kavinsky’s infamous Mitsubishi Evo was a thing of boyish beauty, moon-white with a voracious black mouth of a grille and an immense splattered graphic of a knife on either side of the body.

The Mitsubishi wailed and shuddered a bit. It was a glorious and hideous piece of work.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X - white

This was the easiest. I think this is probably the exact car Maggie was describing when she wrote the book. She says that it's an Evo which is already really specific, and "voracious black mouth" perfectly describes the Evo 10.

THE GRAY MAN:

The Gray Man hated his current rental car. He got the distinct impression it hadn’t been handled enough by humans when it was young, and now would never be pleasant to be around. Since he’d picked it up, it had already tried to bite him several times and had spent a considerable amount of time resisting his efforts to achieve the speed limit.

Also, it was champagne. Ridiculous color for a car.

1991 Nissan Figaro - Topaz Mist

This one was really hard and I'm completely guessing but this does look like the kind of car The Gray Man would hate. Definitely will be making another post about this because it's actually hilarious how much he hates it.

BLUE/300 FOX WAY:

Give her forty minutes and she could parallel park the Fox Way Ford in any place you liked.

There was only one car at 300 Fox Way, and so it was in high demand.

2004 Ford Fiesta - Blue

This one was also super hard. Literally all we know about this car is that it's a Ford. Inferred that it's a cheaper car and therefore probably older so this is what I came up with. I chose blue because I just think it fits Fox Way's whole vibe.

I spent way too long on this.

ROBERT PARRISH

As the Camaro headed slowly out of the single-track road, their path was blocked by a blue Toyota pickup truck, approaching from the other way. Adam’s breath stopped audibly. Through the windshield, Gansey met the eyes of Adam’s father.

1996 Toyota Tacoma - Blue

[things-about-cars-in-posts]

You know a lot about cars so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask: How hard would it be for me to make up brand new cars and 3D model them? The stuff shown here looks fun, and I want to give it a go sometime. (p.s as compensation for submitting an ask not focused on a thing about a car: the interiors of the Italdesign Orca and Mazda MX-81 Aria are silly looking things that everybody should get to see.) (p.p.s i don't understand cars or 3D modeling but i believe it'll all work out fine)

If you want encouragement: every single 3D car shape you've ever seen, from videogames to renders to cars on the street, was either drawn with 3D modelling or with something even harder - and none of those people have a significant genetic leg up on you. You're too short to play basketball, you're too fragile to boxe, you're too heavy for marathons, but you're not too anything for 3D modelling. The only thing it takes is effort.

If you want a warning: effort it does take. 3D modelling is deceptively complex - you think you can model a radio no problem and an hour later your work amounts to a volume knob and you realize you're gonna be here a while. I've studied it for a semester and would be pretty lost if I had to draw curves as complex as a car's, although had I had your interest I would've likely dug deeper on some specific aspects on my own (and actually retained all the lessons on complex curves :/) But yeah, holy hell are cars complex. Nowadays especially, but in general - the lights, the vents, the seals, the panel gaps, all things that are incredibly minute yet essential details that can make or break a design, even at the lowest detail (because of course modelling difficulty varies wildly with the detail level you're targeting). Modelling a car from scratch, I'll be astounded if it takes you less than a year. But by the end of that, any car you model will no longer be from scratch, as you'll already have built the knowledge base!

If you want advice: take your time to learn the tools before you try and tackle any big project. For one because naming your first 3D model "car" and messing around until you have a car is like taking your new bicycle to the bottom of an alpine pass and messing around until you're at its top: you'll be there for as long as it takes you to give up, accomplish nothing and leave feeling useless. For two because starting a project without all the knowledge base it needs will just mean its quality will suffer from the start to the points of the project where you pick that knowledge up. For three because starting a project knowing what to do and how to do it speeds up the process massively and provides a massive boost in confidence and motivation because you know what is ahead and how to tackle it - there's nothing more demoralizing than closing up the day with no idea of how to progress from there. For four, because you need to make sure you like the tools. Modelling a car in abstract is "making a car" or "expressing your vision" or whatever poetic way you put it, but in practice it's using a piece of software for a troubling number of hours. If using that software is a chore to you you're never going to push through the learning curve involved in modelling a car, and that's for the best as modelling a car would be a miserable time.

If you want guidance: here's a Volvo wagon. Their boxiness is nigh on legendary, in the car community the "brick" nickname is nigh on a synonym for Volvo. And this is the 960, the boxiest Volvo that ever boxed.

Look at all the curves. The rear windshield curves forwards and the side windows curve inwards, making the angle between them curve diagonally (how pronounced are those curves? Are they constant?), the entire side of the car has a gentle curve to it, and the fenders flare outwards with a smooth blend between their slope and the body's (what do you suppose the radius of that blend is?) - to say nothing of the hood, the rims, and my God, that mirror is a positive sculpture! And also, the end of the rear door is tilted forward - why do you suppose that is? Well, it's clearer in the much older 240...

...you can clearly see the rear door's window frame is following the lower, downward-sloping roofline of a sedan, indicating the sedan's doors are being reused for the wagon. But now that you looked at the Volvo before, you can see the shape is more bare, more simple -free of the indentation that circled the 960's body, for instance- but much more soft and rounded, with the taillights curving inwards (how much?), the rear windshield having rounded corners (and perchance a rounded top to match a curved roof?), hell, the curve of the rear angle kicks outwards at the bottom to meet an inwards slope that goes from headlight to taillight!

This is how you have to come to see cars - by which I don't just mean noticing these details, but this analytical look being how your eye approaches a car shape. Because you can't learn to write without the ability and interest to read, if you catch my drift.

Once you've got a grasp of the tools involved, a nice idea could be to get a 3D model of a car (I recommend starting with a very boxy one and potentially working your way up), deleting a part (like a fender, or a door) and trying to recreate it yourself by eye - see what challenges you encounter, what you struggle with creating, how the result looks compared to the original, and such.

Also, a thing I would advise is to look into cutaways and diagrams and such, just like you learn anatomy when drawing humans because if you don't you'll end up with something that looks awkward and unrealistic and you will not know why. For example, these two designs seem starkly different, don't they?

And yet, if you overlap them...

...the driver seat is at exactly the same place. Why? Because that's just as far forward as you can seat a person before the crumple zone either is insufficient to absorb the force of a high speed impact or begins including their legs. This is just one of plenty aspects but I've gone on long enough already.

If you want a challenge: set a reminder for next year to come back here and show me your progress. Even if it's not anything close to a car yet, if -as you should- you set some intermediate goals that stimulate and excite you, you can still be back in this askbox with something to be proud of and I'll go wooo!!! I remember you!!! It's so cool you stuck to it and have now made this thing!!! That's great! and you'll feel SO good about yourself. Deal?

Oh about the concepts, The MX-81's steering wheel... sidewall? always made me uneasy, it looks like it's coming off (and like some airport surface that has been touched by too much gross stuff) but I do dig the CRT right in front of you! The one that's going in my car is black and white and a lot smaller than that, so a tinge of envy is there.

Also, if you like the Orca's steering wheel, you may well enjoy the '88 Grand Prix and Citroën C4/C4 Picasso's! Ride, Pontiac Ride! Or transform and dance, that's cool too!

Festival Italia - Two wins at Brands Hatch

What a day – actually, what a year. This time last year was also ‘Festival’ time, The Silverstone Festival – I had a hell of a race then, in the forty-car televised ‘Roadsports’ grid – a forty minute affair which saw me run as high as fourth, before eventually taking fifth at the flag …

2024, and after the excitement and drama of our European ‘sortie’ - the ‘Spetacollo Sportivo’ weekend at Zandvoort, where following qualifying and three red-hot races we took second on the track, catching the leader – which became third after my 20 second penalty for accidentally clipping a car I was lapping … We reconvened at Brands Hatch for the UK’s premier Italian Car Festival. I managed a total of twenty laps of testing at the circuit I last raced at 26 years before – then, unceremoniously dumped it in the Paddock Bend gravel!

Ludicrous – I gave myself and the hard-working team a lot of work to do before qualifying, and the two races on Sunday. Everyone had warned me this one would be tough, all the big guns of the Alfa racing community turned out for Italia – and so it proved. We had everything from the 700 BHP Quadrifoglio through to the 455 BHP TCR to contend with …

In testing I was quick – before the spin – managing a 51.29 – but the excursion tore up a tyre – completely, it disintegrated – forcing us to rim our only well-used spare from the workshop, and this tyre didn’t have enough life left in it for me to under 52.5 in qualifying, ending us up 3rd on the grid for race 1. We got lucky, taking the R1 win after a fierce opening battle with Lee Penn who drove exceptionally well in the opening laps, never letting me breathe for a moment. R2 was a matter of just conserving what remained of the rubber – and bringing the car home unscratched. Well almost. Sorry Jamie …

Off-track the road-going Alfaworkshop 4C starred at The Broadway Car Show, whilst the race car was on display at the National Alfa Day at Bicester Heritage. Great events both – and new sponsor SAGE joined the party, eating up the rapidly diminishing space on the little 4C’s bodywork.

In amongst all of this, I headed East for Lexus Europe, taking the superb new GX to Kazakhstan – discovering a wonderful country and people along the way – then upon returning, straight into Volvo at MIRA – followed by a 24hr ‘sortie’ to Mousehole to road-test and write about the new Triumph Rally Pro for Pure Triumph. That was an absolute blast, brilliant bike, beautiful day.

Next up planning the ‘Present to Win’ course I will deliver for a Senior Leadership Team in the Southwest in October/November. My signature course has been somewhat neglected with my return to racing, it’s time to put it back centre stage – the little pusses need to eat, plus its my chance to make a difference in the World. I love presenting this training – I’m known for my technical, dynamic and product expertise, but empowering people is also what I love to do. This is my arena.

The weekend after next I will be hosting garage tours for Ferrari at Silverstone, then a week later, the plan is back in the Alfaworkshop 4C development car at Oulton Park for the final round of the British Championship.

Meanwhile, I can reveal one all-new adventure for 2025: I am in negotiation to host and present talks onboard a cruise liner for a week – bringing motorsport to a whole new globe-trotting audience. Come to think about it, I’ve been doing that all of my life … cruising and talking ...

Steve Deeks – September 2024

[the-firebird69]

This as you see here is a little bit large what he's saying is as a foot shorter and 6 inches less width and I guess that's about right and you keep the look to it it's not really a Volvo but it would look like it and it would look safe have a similar look and it might even look a little bit zippier and pricier because the rims will be better the tires will fit better the body will be slightly molded but not much will keep the square look it looks like a Rolls Royce and the front end too and Volvo might pick it up it's going to be a four seater. This is an awesome idea I am now starting to think that they're thinking together and we should ask them and he says you should ask her because I think of crazy stuff and she finds a way for it to work but then again I might remember it not really you have to ask her because I don't remember a ton of it. So he's kind of a creative guy this is proof right here this idea is intense. I don't think I've heard an idea this great for a long time you will love this you are gonna love this.

--- The whole thing will come in separate boxes just like it does at Ikea and you could go around and select the boxes it would be a separate area just like they have or even a warehouse that's next door and we think that's a better idea to show that it's the mechanical warehouse where they would sell lawn mowers tractors little trailers trailers for cars and small campers and Sweden makes us sweet small camper that you can make RTA and make it cheap cheap cheap. Right now their pricing is kind of high because furniture is hard to get. This ad is probably gonna push him and we're gonna probably have to get in there. And we have to they're having problems we can help them and we we need to. And you would ship it on a truck like ikea does and when I have a big order they use a forklift and they put it in your driveway

The frame and chassis would come mostly assembled the tires and wheels would not be included the hub and suspension would be attached and it would be about 10 inches high and about seven feet long and six feet wide and it would be a crate box and the crating would be on the outside and it would only weigh about£400 and that's more or less a rolling chassis meaning everything is assembled on it the brake system is there the calipers the hubs the suspension and everything is set for you to install the firewall and other items to the floor it's all one piece and you just bolt the tires on and rims. There are a couple things you have to do but it is a great idea the box is not very big 7 foot is one foot shy of the length of a pickup truck. 6 foot wide it won't fit flat and you can't tilt it but you can put it on top from on top of the gunnels and put it on top of all the other stuff without it touching and it should fit in there a whole car.

And the second item would be the tires and rims they come smaller when they're fully assembled believe it or not it takes less room there's no way to save room unless you put something inside them and you really shouldn't do that and it's too hard to mount your own tire and you have to check the tire pressure before you apply weight it'll have instructions. That will come in one box that would be about three and a half foot high and one and a half by one and a half foot not real huge and that would be a crate style box and would fit underneath inside the truck we're gonna pick up truck in a way about 200 pounds with steel rims

What will be next would be items that would finish off the rolling chassis they would be the firewall and some reinforcing pieces that are bolt up and stitch or meld really and there would be shapes that you would put on for the trunk and for the engine compartment those would come in packages they would have to be crate box to keep them from getting damaged and they would have a lot of them in there it's only gonna be like 4 but they would fit mostly inside the trunk and that will go underneath in a truck or you can put it on top it's light it's better on top but you'll figure it out

And then you want to figure out that you have to put together your dashboard and the controls that'll be in a box it's like 1 foot by 3 foot by 1 foot and it all fit in there and then some other stuff all the doodads that you stick on there

In addition to the dashboard and controls would be all the wiring and fuel lines brake lines lines for the lights all of that would go in and they tell you where and they'd all have the eclipse already installed that you put the line into and they snap in and it's really easy and things like the battery box and that would be in a box like two foot by two foot by two and a half foot and this is Ikea OK so you just go pick your box by the numbers based on the model that you pick and it would be the same car just different colors and different quality levels so you go to the same car and there's probably three quality levels and there'd be 3 selections right next to each other and when you order the car the store can tell you that they're in stock. Or you can have them deliver it

Now you would install the mechanicals you want to do that before the panels and the mounting instructions are all included and you just hook it up to the transmission which is part of the chassis box which might be more like a foot and a half high since he did the switcheroo on me and the engine would be what you would install and it has very careful and specific instructions. This engine would be probably like a two liter and would weigh about 300 pounds and if you're careful you could lift it in but they tell you to rent a lift they also give instructions on how to make a block and tackle system you can install in your garage and just bring it up and swing it in. and it would be pretty big two foot by two foot by three foot

Your transmission and your drivetrain in the rear axle which is a straight axle all installed already as are the suspension and steering mechanism and everything would be on the front you would have to hook that up that comes in a box with this stuff which is all extra equipment for your motor and for steering and controls and hookups for controls and there's some ancillary stuff and EMP system and more there's not too much stuff to put in but there's quite a bit in air conditioning system is a pain in the **** but that's included and we'll try and make a very simple one the Swedish have one that's self-contained it's just like a house and you get fresh air from the outside I'm waiting for you people who are not so bright a full of **** vinegar vehements hatred anxiety fear I'm waiting for you to call us up and ask us to make it so you can fake it we do actually I've been waiting for it for your call waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and I don't know the statements are on you go in there by the cars and you're full of **** and you gotta be his name listen to this he'll say what if that's crazy he had something like it or not and then whenever exactly was the one that fell was it yeah somewhere ohh god dad had the car no similar big like this our idea smaller. and ifell on him ok you same exct look.

In additional to all the engine parts and controls there'll be the air conditioning the heater the electrical the radio all that's in a box too that's 2 by 2 by 2

Another box that will be the kind of big is the interior he says to make the seats thinner and it still can be comfortable that's a good idea and they're less so expensive and sturdy form fitted and quick to make we have those and we have a lot of those it's a sporty car but it's still the kind of on if it weren't too thick but we don't want to make it too thick and it's going to be a 4 seater with a bench in the back that interior would take three boxes 3 foot by 2 foot by 4 foot and we would have a box 33 by 3 by 4 For the carpeting and ceiling and all the do dodads

a cage and enclosure and some framing for the car before the panels go on and you would put those on before the interior of course there's a sequence the roll cage inside which you won't see and it's not very huge and the pieces inside on outside cover it would take up in its bolts up and stitch it melds it would be probably a two boxes 1 by 2 by 4. The enclosure would be another box three foot by two foot by one foot and the framing which is different material is square tube steel and it is shaped that would be 2 2 by 2 by 4

The doors would be a box three by three by one each there were two boxes and the panels would be 4 boxes at 3 by 4

Miscellaneous items will be one blocks at 3 by 4 by 2 it include a lot of the trim pieces a doughnut accessories and so forth the glass would be in the doors already and

the glass would come in a in a box 3 by 7 by two crate box and one of them that says glass do not drop handle with care all over it.

and There's another box for bumpers and things like that would be 2 by 2 by 7 so really you need to get a small box truck and take up half of a small one or two pickup trucks full and you can have them hold the order and check off what boxes are there and what boxes you took this is an extremely efficient method of distributing a car and a great place to do it the car would only be 9 foot long which is only couple feet longer than our sun's big black E bike maybe two and a half feet it's not big and the assembly would be easy all of it would be bolt together and only some welding you could use any kind of welder and instructions would be available for each there's only gonna be like five welds we have to weld to the body to the frame that is the rolling chassis. And it's required by DOT standard and you wanna film you assembling the whole thing. One more box and we're gonna keep adding gas tank is one foot by two foot by 3 foot exhaust is three foot by two foot by two foot.

Panels are metal crash rating cerca . safety equ incldued. dot papers included for the registry ssemble nd bring it in as with ay new car. edhaust is the new dot system. tope end included. the motor swiss. the car swiss design. the parts at kia. oil synthetic engine two litre top speed 135 mph performance package fot the top end of three syles 10 mph.

and thats it. orer it and they deliver. no frills no hassle. two pick up trips and your car is yours.

or. Ikea can ship it thugh they dont make it now might.

our idea. and we had it before this is wonderful

Let me tell you something this is an eye popper. To be helping them with the furniture and we probably could help them do this and it would be like a mascot vehicle and it would be world famous instantly as a cheap car you can get and you could do like an E bike and a motorcycle and a camper and even those penalized houses you could sell the panels there and build a house from Ikea so come on this is way too much fun. And think about it that you have this distribution system and it's set up to carry the same size stuff in the same weight some of the stuff is big and heavy and it's like real furniture and real tables real desks and they weigh 300 pounds and nothing in the this weighs more than 400 pounds the engine is a little less than 300 and the components are separate and regular people can lift it with two people the chassis might need 4 or that would be ideal but really the rest of it almost any one kid left And I'll tell you what you can sell these parts separate and somebody could come in and buy 1 panel kit and it would have their panel be damaged they'd have like a couple extras but really that's how you could do it and ikea likes that the motor blows you could come in and buy a new motor and this is such a weird idea and after a while you might have a breakdown chassis but those things are hard to do and the transmissions are hard to install mother and father are interested and they can make it inexpensive and we can make it that way but we would be making the Swiss version and we want them to help design it and they said his ideas outrageously cool and you can almost have two both of them from Switzerland I mean Sweden. Ohh ohh my god And yet the same people and he says you get a nice big mug of Swiss miss and you start early Saturday morning and you have the cool fall air blowing into the garage and you break open the chassis and seat your wife downa t the plan table and she has a nice big mug of swiss miss and a pastry and bed head. squnty eyes. and smiling driinking mmmm swedish stylish car yuum yum good good and chocolate mmm. nd we have a winner

Bubblegum Black: For A World Without Gold - Chapter 5 is now live!

In this chapter... shit gets real. Like, it's even more real than was thought previously possible, with a new fight scene and the introduction of an Anti-Knight Saber powersuited-cyborg kill team, all in the winding decks of a cargo ship lost at sea. That kind of real.

AG Fabrikraft: A wholly original megacorporation I drew up for this fic, one of several that will be a part of the Concern. To exposit in here without expositing out in the main fic, Fabrikraft is a cross-Scandinavian industrial titan, funded with the last of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund's oil money (petrochemicals are barely used now for, like, anything unless there's political reasons to keep them around) to make a giant focused around industrial, commercial, and consumer-grade additive manufacturing. There might be a bit of Chinese money in there, too, the same way the Chinese own Volvo IRL, but if there is it's laundered through too many intermediaries for anyone to tell. Most people in the 2060's know Fabrikraft as a sort of bastard cross between IKEA and Walmart, rapidly printing and assembling anything a consumer could want on-site or in the comfort of a consumer's home. Furniture, appliances, toys, weapons (print-a-gun vending machines are a depressingly common sight on American streets), feedstock-based food, things like that. Nothing as complex as a Boomer or even a neuromorphic computer, but Fabrikraft tech is used pretty prolifically in light industry to build parts of a whole. More and more, creators and inventors are turning to Fabrikraft's ManaCast network to provide blueprints for objects and gizmos to people around the world - from my CAD system to your CAM system, basically. The big catch is that Fabrikraft owns every blueprint uploaded to ManaCast, no exceptions, and as such they will copy and genericize anything developed by smaller organizations, then promote their own cloned products to kill competitors. Since their business is based on turning the ethereal into the physical, they're behind serious IP restrictions on digital content worldwide. No competition is allowed. So... yeah. That's Fabrikraft. Hopefully they're a cleverer Evil Megacorp business model than the kinds that usually populate cyberpunk settings.

A Brief Note On The Lagoon's Construction: I never did cover this, did I? Well, I'm covering it now, to detail that the Black Lagoon in this timeline is not a century-old WW2 Elco torpedo boat. However, it fulfills a very similar function by virtue of being a slightly larger Fast Attack Craft from World War Three. So! The Black Lagoon. A Halcyon-class Fast Attack Craft with light-stealthy features, a fancy fiberglass-and-armor hull, and two main weapons: An eight-shot HASh-M missile launcher, and an anti-air / anti-drone swarm laser gun. It was originally meant to be a cheap, semi-autonomous way to deliver ship-killing missiles into the heart of Chinese naval fleets around the Pacific Rim, either acting as an escort for bigger ships like cruisers and carriers or to damage the bigger ships on the enemy's side. In other words, it filled the same function as a WW2 Elco torpedo boat, but with more range and more survivability. Now, how did Dutch get his hands on one of these? Who knows. I've got secret backstories planned out for pretty much everyone of note except Dutch for this fic. Man's a goddamn enigma. Too bad.

Aaditri Nath: This a Bengali name, IIRC, with Aaditri being a derivative of the name of the goddess Lakshmi. Nath is just a surname. I think. I don't remember what exactly what was going through my mind beyond 'find a good Bengali name for this ship' for... reasons. You'll see in the next chapter.

More Details About the Space Development Bubble: Yeah, this is a sci-fi plot beat I'm pretty proud of, inspired by old-timey financial crises such as the South Sea Bubble, when the sinewy structure of capitalism was still mutating and evolving with a mix of a certain kind of technocynicism. So, since there's no real room to exposit on what happened in the mainline fic (though I had plans to do so in previous abandoned projects), let's go for it. So! It's after World War Three, and the financial system where Chinese and American debt (government bonds) are the bedrock of the global financial system is kaput. Both empires have spent nearly five years fighting each other to a bloody standstill and accelerating climate change beyond reasonable limits (while also making it clear that fossil fuel infrastructure is infinitely more fragile than renewables, so the one good thing that comes from the war is accelerating the death of petrogarchy), and no one wants to trust their money. So now there's a big void in the global financial system, and even if Cold War Two is gearing up, and even if Belt and Road / IMF financial imperialism is no longer really feasible, there still needs to be a bedrock guarantee in investor portfolios. What to do? Enter the Space Public Development Corporation, a semipublic / semiprivate conglomerate of space agencies and aerospace companies, washing their wartime excesses with Muskian 'planet's fucked let's go to Mars' rhetoric. Given nearly a trillion in seed funding, they propose a simple plan to get even more money to build a fully-fledged Lunar Colony by 2069, a fully-functional Space Elevator a little before or after that, and Lagrange Point O'Neil Cylinders by the end of the century. Armstrong Bonds: Invest now, and within decades you'll have your money back in kind, ensured by orbital manufacturing and asteroid mining's infinite bounty. So once earnest space exploitation (not exploration lol) starts to pay dividends to some people around the 2050's or so, the SPDC becomes an inadvertent anchor of the global financial system. And once the SPDC becomes dependent on GENOM for Boomer labor for orbital and lunar development, that just extends GENOM's power. One could track this, so it's said, by the way Anchorpoint went from an industrial town, a megastructure disguised as a city, to a city with luxury and financial districts for the rich and powerful to enjoy the promise of the future. And then, on July 20th, 2069 - a century from the lunar landing - the grand opening of the Lunar Expo and Tranquility City is bombed. The entire colony just goes up. What follows is a secretive week known as Orbit War One, a mess of battles between the SPDC's assets and rampant Boomers hellbent on disassembling those assets. The lunar massdriver is almost hijacked to Moon-is-a-harsh-mistress major Earth cities; the skeletal Lagrange point space stations go down for the count; satellites both military and civilian are vaporized. In other words, trillions of dollars in investments are just gone. And it gets worse, because then a cascade of leaks reveal how behind schedule and over budget most of the big development projects are, how many lies have been told, how the SPDC has become one big pyramid embezzlement scheme. Suddenly Armstrong bonds are worthless, the cyberpunk equivalent of the US or China defaulting on their debt in the present. Suddenly deflation is starting to set in, because there is no other stable anchor for hyperfinancialized capitalism. Suddenly a lot of people don't have the money they were promised. Why do I like this as a plot point? Because I think cyberpunk writers dealing with megacorps seem to think that megacorps and quasifeudal capitalism are a stable, unmovable system. It isn't. Witness the 2008 crash, witness Japan and now China's real estate bubbles, witness any number of points where faith in capital's wisdom lead to collapse.

Sail Kite: This is a real thing, launching giant parasail-shaped kites out into the air to 'sail' the titanic cargo ships that are key to the delivery of goods in our globalized world, and thereby reduce their emissions.

Huginn / Muninn: Avimorph 'drones' are basically birdlike Boomers that can hover like hummingbirds despite their size, replacing quadcopter drones everywhere. Huginn and Muninn are Nene's surveillance drones that she uses to scope out an area if the Sabers have 'prep time', to borrow a phrase from Batman fans, named after the ravens that sat on Odin's shoulders, from Norse Mythology. Nene named them thus not because of any connection to the Nords, but out of sheer chunni energy. Awhile back, by the way, I had a very stupid idea: Fujoshi Nene. "I have written half a dozen friendfic doujins about Leon and Daley, they have sold impossibly well at Neo-Cyber-Comiket, you cannot stop me."

The Anzio: Yes, 20mm Vulcan anti-materiel rifles are real. No, a real-life Anzio would not be the kind of thing you could run across a slippery deck with, they're fuckin' huge and I mentally scaled them down to the size of a Barrett fiddy-cal for this fight scene. I am genuinely sorry for this inaccuracy, but the scene still works regardless. I think. I might be wrong. I have been wrong about my own writing before, ask anyone who's ever read Divine Patronage.

The Zombie Squad: So! Here we have the Evil Knight Sabers Be Like moment, framing a Sinister Squad of Supervillains who can oppose the Sabers so that the Saber-oriented fight scenes aren't just fighting various teams of Boomers. So let's break them down. First off, the name came from one of my favorite Chapo Trap House episodes, where they review Stallone's Cobra, a film where the Super Cool Cop Man is on something called the 'Zombie Squad', which in turn was inspired by spec-op-ish squads of Belgian police who would practice vigilantism. Nasty stuff, but cool to the 80's attitude of 'why don't the cops just kill all the bad guys'. Yeesh. But the name takes on extra dimensions here, not just because of the ancient Egyptian god names (the pantheon is called the... Ogdoad, or something like that? I forget) referencing a culture obsessed with death, but because, in case you haven't noticed, all the ZS members refer to each other as corpses of one sort or another. Now, as to the identity of each squadmember? I'll reveal them bit by bit, trickle by trickle, but I'll give you a hint for now: No Member Is An Original Character. That's right, they All Come From Crisis And Lagoon Genre-Adjacent Properties, If Not The Properties Themselves. Moreover, They Have All Died Once. The hunt is on. See if you can figure out who's who! Message me if you know! Or just hang out in the BGC Discord where I'll probably spoil it all very aggressively.

Squad Suits: Heavily based off of this image from the Bubblegum Crisis EX RPG expansion, which itself used pre-production concept art willy-nilly:

Anyway, take away the tread feet and specialize each mech a bit and that's the approximate size and shape of a Squad powersuit.

Piledriver Weapon: I have not played Armored Core 6. Yet.

Ba Xing Chong: Yes, that is a reference to the gun you get when you kill Adam Smasher in Cyberpunk 2077, the homing explosive-slug volley gun that might as well be a minimissile launcher, which it essentially is here. And, yes, it's mounted under something very close to the MK.31 HMG from Cyberpunk 2077, although not really that. Intersections with CP2077 / 2020's world and BGC2069 are, as evinced by my two abandoned projects Witch of Tranquility and Handful of Dust, still very much present here. Ugh, I need to orphan or delete those projects someday, they're a mark of immense shame for me.

Koko Hekmatyar: Whoo boy. I've set myself a challenge here. That's right, folks, Jormungand's Koko Hekmatyar, charismatic arms dealer, megalomaniac, and probable shotacon (ick), is one of the main villains of this fic, the shadowy face of GENOM's involvement with the sinister plot to take over Roanapur! And that's right, folks, I haven't seen Jormungand and don't really plan to anytime soon, because it looks somewhat drab as an anime absent Koko! But look. Plenty of Lagoon fics will drag Koko into their shenanigans just for funsies. Bullets, the fic I reviewed so highly awhile ago, just throws her in there like that to make more jokes, mostly at her expense. So is it a big deal if I throw her in there to perform the role of maniacal antagonist? I don't think it is. We'll see more of her in chapters to come, though. Make no mistake about that. Her goals are her own, and her power is unmistakable. She might have left Daddy's company, but she still wields forces that can level nations and lesser empires.

I should also mention that Chapter 6 might not come out until after my usual monthly posting deadline, just so people aren't surprised. I had plans for the chapter, wrote a great deal of them, then scrapped them when I realized they didn't work, so now it's back to the drawing board. Ah well.

Jodhpur – Top Experiences in the Blue City

Rustic and appealing with a tiny speck of chaos – This is how I would describe JODHPUR, the famed Blue City of Rajasthan. The city welcomes you with pretty lakes, vibrantly painted lanes and iconic monuments. At the same time, stray animals wandering along the streets and cacophony of honking vehicles trying to make way through the dusty alleyways are also quintessentially Jodhpur. This striking contrast is probably the reason why the city still maintains its primordial charm. And as you start settling in, it wraps you in its cocoon of colours and warmth.

Tempted to visit Jodhpur?  Here is our list of top experiences in the Blue City.

Best Time to visit Jodhpur

November to February: The climate of Jodhpur is normally hot and humid. So winter months are the best time to visit the city. Day time temperature is pleasant during this time and great for exploring. Mornings and evenings are cold. Expect more crowd as this is peak season.

August to October: During or just after the monsoons is also a great time to visit Jodhpur.

How to Reach Jodhpur

Jodhpur has a domestic airport which is well connected by flights to/from major cities.  The airport is around 5 kms from the main city area.

The city also has a major Railway station connecting to a number of Indian cities by train.

Many Volvo and Deluxe buses also ply from Delhi to Jodhpur on regular basis.

Things to Do in Jodhpur

Mehrangarh Fort

One of the largest forts in India, Mehrangarh Fort is the focal point of tourism in Jodhpur. Perched on a cliff high above the city, the fort radiates unrivalled splendour. The huge almond coloured fort may have a rugged exterior, but its interior is as exquisite as it could be. There are expansive courtyards boasting of elaborate stonework and stunning rooms that are sheer manifestation of opulence. Where Sheesh Mahal amazed us with lavish mirror work, Phool mahal won us over with its vibrant motifs, dazzling ceiling and stained glass windows.

Once you complete exploring the fort complex, head towards the back gate (exit gate) of the Fort. The compound outside the gate offers panoramic views of the city including the blue houses. We recommend to time your visit in a way so as not to miss the magical sunset from this point. Be awed by the city bathed in an orange hue at one side and the fort shimmering like liquid gold at the other. 

Jaswant Thada

A sublime marble structure set beside a bluish fresh water pond and rimmed by the city walls – Jaswant Thada is a beauty that is not to be missed.  Resembling a temple from outside, it is actually a cenotaph that was built in the memory of the late King Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Since then the area around the Thada has been used as cremation ground for the Kings and the members of the royal family. So you will see a lot of small cenotaphs around the main structure sitting amidst the impeccably manicured garden. 

Many people might tell you that Jaswant Thada is just a place for a quick visit and few pictures. But if you are an architecture enthusiast or a nature lover, then we recommend spending an hour or two at this place. Visit during early morning hours when other tourists have not arrived and you will be surprised how much the place has to offer. Take your time to relish the intricate marble carvings and designs all around the structure. Inside the thada, check out the  distinctive marble sheets on the walls that emit a warm glow in sunlight like they are ablaze inside. As you come out, do not forget to stop by the exceptionally skilled local artist playing musical instrument in tune with the folk and famous Bollywood songs.

Bishnoi Village Tour

Jodhpur’s real charisma lies in its villages. If you are interested in having an insight in to the rural life and witness the work of its local artisans, then opt for the Bishnoi Village tour. This tour usually consists of a jeep  safari, visiting houses of different local artisans and a delectable home cooked meal at a local’s house. There are many operators who provide half and full day tours. We chose a half day tour with Mr. Chhotaram Prajapat who hails from one of the local villages. And this became the most memorable part of our entire trip.

Driving through the dusty roads in an open jeep, we entered into the rural hinterlands of Jodhpur where everything looked so different, so magical. The arid landscape was peppered with large Sangri trees and was brimming with wildlife. We spotted deers, nilgai, peacocks and many other colourful birds up close. But the highlight of the trip was spotting the gorgeous blackbucks playfully running around in the open, in their natural habitat. The next part was visiting the houses of different local artisans. It was amazing to witness the fine block printing work, the delicate art of making earthen pots and dhurrie making. Read More…..

Top Car Safety Features in 2023

The first automobiles were developed in Europe in the late 1800s, but Americans quickly jumped into the automobile game. In 1893, two bicycle mechanics in Springfield, MA brought forth the first American gasoline-powered vehicle. Those early models bear little resemblance to the ones we drive today – and that’s nowhere more apparent than in safety standards.  

In early days, drivers and passengers took their chances when climbing aboard these “contraptions” that resembled modern cars only in the fact there is a carriage with wheels and an engine. Luckily, top speeds in early autos were around 12 mph, but as they got faster, safety became a bigger concern.

Another essential safety feature of driving these days is car insurance. We know that having insurance, whether it be automobile, home, life or some other, helps protect us against the financial devastation that can follow an unexpected event. The first policy was written in 1897 and now is required in the United States.

Let’s take a look at how the vehicle you drive today and the safety features in new cars evolved.

Basic Safety Features

Basic features, such as turn signals, headlights and seatbelts, were nowhere to be found on early automobiles. The Ford Model T offered a windshield, headlights and a speedometer as optional add-ons. The Nash Rambler was ahead of its time, offering lap seat belts in 1950. The buying public, however, was not impressed and felt the belts were a nuisance. Nash only sold 1,000 seatbelt-equipped models. Volvo jumped in with a shoulder belt in 1959.

In 1966, the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act passed, which, among other things, established a rulebook guiding construction called the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.  

Wheels  

Almost from the time people have moved things from one place to another, wheels have been involved. Wheels have a colorful history, including design and engineering that passed through the ancient Egyptians, the Greeks and the Celts.  

More modern prototypes came around when Karl Benz came up with a spoked wire and hard-rubber tire for one of his early vehicles in 1885.  

In the 1900s, Ford began with wooden wheels, but quickly moved to welded steel. As with many other automobile improvements, racing enthusiasts are responsible for wheels that employed aluminum-magnesium alloys. Today’s wheels are a marvel of modern technology, incorporating a variety of designs and materials.

In today’s parlance, the word wheel includes the hub, spokes, rim and, of course, the tire. The bigger the wheel, the larger the tire. Larger tires help your car grip the road better. And, of course, the steering wheel itself works better when the actual wheels are right.

Brakes  

It could be argued that brakes are the most important safety feature on any forward- or rear-moving contraption. They certainly have their place in automotive safety. Unlike early iterations, which involved a wooden block hanging from a rope, once tires moved from wood and metal to rubber, brakes became a marvel of physics, using thermal energy to halt forward (or backward) progress.

Brake Lights

Many of the first drivers in the early 1900s felt that the use of hand signals was enough of a warning system to let others know their intentions. This may have worked when top speeds were 12 mph. As speeds increased, however, it became necessary to add new warning systems in the form of brake lights, and later, a turn signal. By 1928, brake requirements were mandatory in 11 states. The third brake light, invented by a psychologist who tested the gadget on taxis in San Francisco, has been responsible for a significant decrease in rear-end collisions.

Turn Signals  

Although turn signals may have a lurid soap opera history (possibly invented by well-known actress Florence Lawrence, who failed to get a patent, then spiraled downhill with an unfortunate third marriage and later killed herself with ant poison), other sources credit John Hetrick. Hetrick was reportedly inspired to invent turn signals in 1939 after watching his son use flags to indicate which way he was going.  

Luckily, turn signals are a boon to automotive safety. With this simple tool, drivers can communicate their intentions to those sharing the road. Various studies have shown a reduction in read-end and side impact crashes when drivers use their turn signal.

The only controversy ongoing is whether they should be red or amber (more of an orangey-yellow). The Department of Transportation (DOT) produced a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report making the case that amber lights work better than red ones. Automakers aren’t required at this point to use the color amber and are balking at the extra cost (although it’s not estimated to be much).

Seat Belts  

Although they were invented in 1885, it wasn’t until 1968 that American-made models were required to have seat belts. These belts were mostly lap belts, which were later found to cause problems of their own (effectively cutting people in half in a collision). Later, three-point seat belts became the norm and, in most states, the “Click It or Ticket” law in 1995 made seatbelt use mandatory.

Believe it or not, for a short time, a federal law required that carmakers build ones that would not start unless seat belts were engaged. As expected, that did not go over well with Americans, and it was shortly repealed.

Miscellaneous Safety Features in Early Autos

We cannot move into newer, more modern cars without mentioning a few safety measures and equipment that were introduced in early days.

Rearview mirror: In 1906, the author of the famous book The Woman and the Car: A Chatty Little Handbook for All Women Who Motor or Want to Motor, recommended that the ladies carry a handheld mirror so they could see what was behind them. In 1914, a patent was issued for a mirror attachment meant to help drivers avoid a blind spot. In the 1920s, Elmer Berger put his “Cop-Spotter” mirror attachment on the market. It was wildly successful, proving that some things never change.

Rear bumper: Bumpers as a whole have had a storied history. In 1901, a rubber bumper designed to lessen impact was sent to the patent office and hit the market. In the 1910s, a strip of steel that fit across the front and back of the vehicle was introduced. Over the years, bumpers became more elaborate to result in today’s models which are plastic over steel, fiberglass, aluminum or plastic.

Crash Test Dummies

Before we move into new models, we must give a nod to Sierra Sam, the first crash test dummy invented for use by the US Air Force to test ejection seats in 1949. In 1997, crash test dummies became the first line of defense in testing how to make things safer and reduce injuries and fatalities around the world.

Many of your new standards (even if your ride is 20 years old) are there because of crash test dummies and what they have shown us about how the human body reacts to automobile crashes.

Top Safety Features in New Cars

The same public who decried various tentative attempts at safety measures in their automobiles in early days were responsible for many of the safety improvements we see today. As vehicles became faster, more common and more affordable, people became more vocal about the number of injuries and fatalities on American roads and highways.  

As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was established under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The act gave the NHTSA the power to enforce safety standards and the use of standard equipment.

Many of the items you see on today’s automobiles are the result of NHTSA mandates. Let’s take a look at some of these critical additions.

Airbags

Automotive airbags came along in 1974 in the United States, although they were invented in the early 1950s. General Motors first installed them in a fleet of 1973 Chevrolet Impalas, used by the government. The 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado was first to market with passenger side airbags. Not surprisingly, Americans were not impressed with this additional (cost-adding) safety feature and it was shortly discontinued. Automakers were not impressed either and Ford and GM spent years (and money) lobbying against airbags.

In 1999, front airbags became mandatory. According to the Insurance Institute, airbags are a critical piece of safety in new cars. Their statistics say front airbags reduce driver fatalities in frontal crashes by 29%, while side airbags (still optional) reduce driver death in driver-side crashes by 37% and an SUV driver’s risk by 52%.

Anti-Lock Brakes  

As mentioned above, brakes are a critical component to safety and manufacturers have been incorporating brake safety designs since the 1960s.

ABS technology made its debut in the 1960s and big names like Chrysler, Ford, Nissan and Toyota became fans in the 1970s. Mercedes-Benz was the first automaker to make anti-lock brakes (ABS) standard – in 1985. Anti-lock brakes replace the old method of pumping the brake pedal to avoid a skid and provide traction control when emergency braking is employed.

Other Safety Elements to Consider

Today’s autos come with a laundry list of ways manufacturers have complied (maybe reluctantly) with requirements to make people safer on the road. Some items you may see today include:  

Electronic Stability Control – Another addition to control your vehicle while in a skid is electronic stability control. ESC is now standard in America.

Adaptive cruise control – Not available on all models yet, this nifty safety component has many different monikers, including smart cruise control and radar cruise control. Adaptive cruise control helps to regulate the speed of your vehicle using a variety of other components, including sensors, radar and cameras.

Cameras – For the most part, cameras are used to provide rearview access, such as a backup camera. This helps the driver avoid backing into objects by using parking sensors.

Lane departure warning – There are a variety of lane departure systems available in today’s rides. Different manufacturers have different names and even different purposes for these additions. Mainly, though, this technology is aimed at keeping your vehicle in its lane, so as to avoid a collision.  

Advanced high-tech advanced systems have come a long way in recent years. This is a good thing when it comes to the public’s safety.

Do Safety Features in New Cars Make the Price Worth It?

For the most part, new advancements are worth the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are driving a modern marvel of safety technology that is available today. When you and your family get behind the wheel on American roads today, it is natural to want the best and most up-to-date proven technology.  

Coming Attractions in Safety

It used to be that only luxury vehicles had the latest and greatest technology – and that’s still true for some bells and whistles. Currently available, but not standard technology, runs the gamut from mundane to wildly imaginative and includes:

360-degree (overhead vision) – This camera is mounted on top of the vehicle and shows everything surrounding you.

Intersection scanning and AEB system – Part of the latest additions, autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems help drivers avoid collisions, but now there is the coming added protection of intersection-scanning AEB. It can detect oncoming traffic approaching at intersections.

Center airbags – This system deploys an air bag between the driver and front seat passenger to help avoid heads banging in a rollover.

Night vision – Only available in luxury vehicles currently, night vision helps discern animals, offers pedestrian detection and other vehicles in the dark.  

Safety exit assist – Destined to be a huge hit with parents of young children, this sounds an alarm when a door is opened while other cars are approaching from behind.
