🏳️‍⚧️ She/her. Quirky/micro-car/racing-game enthusiast in the 313. I post 'in the wild' finds & car thingys here.
Made a Solara in Lego 2k Drive (Share code: 2A887B), enjoying the game thus far but it's more lMario Kart cozy when I was hoping it was Forza cozy. Even then the building, personality in the story, and local co-op are highlights for me, so y'know the usual for Lego games lol #toyota #lego
On vacation in MA & picked up a Speed Champions set to build in the hotel, since my s/o and I recently got back into Lego, it's def a pretty build but some of the building techniques felt advanced. Then again I haven't bought a set/built in general in over a decade so Im out of date on the Lego building meta 😅
Longtime no toot! Trying out Mastodon again (and bsky/tumblr). Lots of things going on this summer from filling chips in the windshield, to replacing a headlight housing, to learning how to drive in sequential mode & most recently diagnosing/filling some leaks in the rain gutters. Oh ya! and doing a collaborative piece with my s/o turning my aging leather seats into Cowprint with Angelus paint/sealer 🐮 anywho hope y'all been having a good summer! and what are y'all up to rn? 🤔
Getting April Fooled on April 2nd is never fun, but this one felt especially crule lmao, thanks Subaru
Comedy gold "boomer humour" moment. Like getting catfished by a Camaro is genuinely so funny too me rn, but it is 2am, so that may play a factor 🤣
Au revoir strange Twizy in Michigan! at least I got to test drive you! Was really hoping that the listing would be up til summer so I could save up enough & snag it, but I’m just surprised it was on the market so long tbh, ah well, hope whoever it went to drives it often & enjoys the ride 💕
From a few days ago: I found a random Bora Estate chilling in my local Meijer parking lot. My first instinct was, “it’s a golf wagon!” but then after a few wiki pages I found that its the Jetta variant of essentially the same car with different respective styling ques in front/back. Also the mk4 estate wasn’t offered in the US so all we got was the Bora, but in the euro market you could decide whether you wanted a Boy-racer Golf Wagon or a Sophisticated Corpo Jetta (at an upcharge) lol.
Spotted in my work parking lot. Everytime I see one of these (they are pretty rare in MI just due to MB dealers not servicing them & Hoth-tundra-like winters) I miss mine. Would love to keep one around as a project, have been seeing more & more people doing interesting things with them, albeit destroying the number of stock ones on the rd lol.
"Quick! take a picture! take a picture!! I'll slow down a bit" - Me seeing a unicorn in a traffic jam, second time I've spotted one.
#introduction Hi, I'm Jade a car girlie 🏳️‍⚧️ in metro-detroit, I'm into quirky cars & microcars/euro-quadricycles. I migrated over from twitter & saw all my car people move here. I'm going to interact with this instance thru my home on artisan.chat (out of convenience), but this account will be for "in the wild" finds & car talk. Here's a pic of my Solara SLE 'vert & a goofy pic of me seeing a Twizy in person (in the states!); I also used to own a few smartfortwos. Nice to meet y'all!
