[things-about-cars-in-posts]

The GT-R is a very cool car, by the way.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R has historically represented the pinnacle of Japanese sportscars, both in technological advancements and overall automotive capabilities. Hell, it earned the nickname "Godzilla" for how hard it dominated on track. We're talking "ending multiple racing series" domination (seriously, go have a read at its "Motorsport" section on Wikipedia, it is hilarious; it looks like a Chuck Norris meme).

Nowadays, the "R34" generation, the last Skyline GT-R, is probably the most famous and desirable Japan-only car ever (thanks in no small part to its lead role in 2 Fast 2 Furious, which in a true "DeLorean v. fridge¹" moment was going to be played by the Dodge Neon SRT4, which was a cool car, but you know...)

¹In case you didn't know, Back To The Future's time machine was going to be a fridge, but, since old fridges couldn't be opened from the inside, kids could've gotten trapped in emulation, so they instead used a DeLorean, significantly harder for kids to access due to poor sales, themselves due to the thing being pretty slow - so slow they had to import European gauge clusters for the 88mph thing because the US tach maxed out at 85 (which makes one wonder why they didn't just change the script to- wait how did the conversation derail like this? I swear this never happens. We were saying? Ah, right. The R34. Final Skyline GT-R. Ceased production in 2002 and that was that.

But then, a solid decade after the R34 left us, the Nissan GT-R dropped. Now a model unto itself, it no longer had to contend with the limitations that came with starting from a 'regular' car. And boy, did they have some fun and a half.

Like, this was some serious shit. Like "tires filled with nitrogen for more consistent pressures" serious. Its tech and engineering weren't just incredible in their own right, they added up to a car that indelibly cemented the GT-R name's reputation for slaying supercars. To properly communicate the level of not fucking around we're dealing with here: the video projected at its unveil was its lap at the Nürburgring [essentially, circuit racing's final boss, a grueling 23km/14mi hell where every sportscar is tested] that beat the production car record. With a damp track. I remember at the time, how spectacular it was to see Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche laptimes all get decimated by a car the fraction of the price with backseats and an actual trunk by the same brand that was making...

...this.

Yeah, this is not going to slay any supercar roster, is it.

Is it?

As you can imagine, that is no ordinary Nissan Juke. Well, however ordinary a Nissan Juke can ever be considered. No, that is the Nissan Juke-R. In short:

Yes, it's a Nissan Juke with the 600hp GT-R engine. And all the GT-R's tech. And the GT-R's All Wheel Drive system. And, well, most of the chassis of a Nissan GT-R. Which meant that you were seated far enough back to have the door pillars beside you, just as low as you did in the GT-R, and with nothing but a huge rollcage behind you, so the car was less comfortable, spacious and practical than the GT-R itself...

...and thanks to a much shorter wheelbase [distance between the wheels, for the unaware], much less stable than it too...

...and all this for worse performance due to the aerodynamic equivalent of a dog eating homework. All for five times as much money as Juke and GT-R commended combined.

Who approved this?

Yeah, checks out.

hmmm

[viviraptor]

I'm so sure you've gotten Rex already but; 8, 12 and 25 PLEASEEEE :o)

TAIIIIII I HEART YOU THANKS FOR SENDING IN SO MANY!!

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

i had to rlly think about this one, i think maybeee sometimes people get a little too fanon-headed and reduce his character to being like. the airheaded sunshine boy. WHICH OKAY. THAT IS SOMETHING I USED TO DO TOO. he is very much an idiot sometimes, and exaggerating the red-oni blue-oni dynamic he has with weevil is very very tempting. BUT doing that happens to ignore his dickish side in the process. yes he's stupid and clueless in some situations, but in others he's egotistical, he's brash, he's self-conscious, he has an attitude, he is sometimes a little hater!! they come at different levels depending on the situation but bottom line is not to rely on his dumbness as his only character trait and mix it up once in a while!!

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

ohh i have many many many in the beautiful fields of my mind. the main ones are that he's bi and half-filipino but that stuff's already been said on my art blog so i will give you one that i haven't mentioned before yet, which is that i hc that he's a middle child! the details on his siblings are up in the air, but i think that role gives his desire for attention/recognition a lot more weight

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

you'll never guess but i think it started with indifference at first! on my first watch i was mostly just focused on the main characters and didn't pay the minor ones any mind, i at least thought his design and dinosaur gimmick was cool though. over time i sympathized with him more for losing so much, i drew him a bunch, and at some point i started to see a lot of myself in him which eventually snowballed into him being my only super serious kin.. when you take the time to care abt the side characters for even a second it becomes very easy to like him, compared to the uphill battle that was liking weevil by proxy LMAO

23. Favorite picture of this character?

that is so hard. if i had to choose something from canon only it's probably these screenshots from s4, i don't remember too well but this feels like the first gateway drug that got me to ship him with weevil:

LOOK AT THE LAST ONEEEE HE'S SAD WEEVIL PUSHED HIM AWAY. I COULD DIE

AAAND if we're not just talking canon i think it'd be my birthday fanart of him from december WHEEHEE. I MAYBE MADE HIM LOOK TOO COOL FOR HIS OWN GOOD
