What Types of Cars Do You Like?

[Rusvul]

Pah. Wizards. Inferior to such as me, they derive magic from external sources. I have no need of books to me, magic is like poems to a poet. I am a sorcerer; the blood of dragons flows in my veins.

What? Cars? Um, my mom has a Toyota Tacoma. It should live for a really long time, it'll quite possibly end up as my car for a while.

[Tam and Martin]

I don't claim to be.

@ rusvulthesaber: Draconic bloodline? (Wait- do they have bloodlines in D&D too? I never checked...)

@ Tam and Martin: So you're not in the phone book like Dresden? Shucks. Well, I suppose it does eliminate a lot of problems for you.

[Rusvul]

(No, (Er, well, there probably is in some set of obscure rules, but the only similar thing I know of is Orcish/Elvish blood for Half-Orcs and Half-Elves which causes them to be affected by the same things as their Orcish/Elven parents) but Sorcs often claim to have dragon blood as the source of their power.)

EDIT: Oh, and Planetouched things. Tieflings and whatever the other ones are called.

[Tam and Martin]

I assume not....

[Gwen A. Mouse]

Oh, okay. Got it.

... Toyota Tacoma. It should live for a really long time, it'll quite possibly end up as my car for a while.

Oh, lucky! The blazer has been out of action for a while (My dad hasn't gotten his lazy booty in gear and replaced the fuel filter, even though we have the part.) and the truck recently ran out of transmission oil...We were nearly stranded.....(Which I may add is a weekly occurrence, pretty much)

I probably won't get either of them, simply because when I get my drvier's license or permit, we probably won't have them. Although, my dad says that when he gets a new mower, I get the old 'un. Yippee. Let's see.....The belt has a nasty habit of falling off, the tires go flat often, ants have taken up residence under the hood (We chase them out. But thety come back) and countless other things. AND my dad says he's gonna give the truck to my sister (IF she's still around.)....I GET A RIDING LAWN MOWER, AND SHE GETS THE TRUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Rusvul]

Is she significantly closer to driving age than you? I mean, that would make sense, even if it would still be frustrating for you.

[Cornflower MM]

There;s five years difference between us. I'd say so....But still! The MOWER?!?!?!?!?!

  Okay, car peeps, I got a question for ya:  Anyone know what this engine looks like (or what it is)?

  A 1600cc twin-spark, twin-cam, V8 superpower engine.

  I believe this is for a racecar, but I don't know for sure...  (My character in the skit I'm in rambles off that line, adding that it has a sweet flame-painted chassis.  )

[Gwen A. Mouse]

Just looked it up- the results that showed the most were for Alfa Romeo cars. They are expensive sports cars, and often involved in racing, from what I've gathered. A chassis is the framework. (Basically a skeleton. No idea why or how you would paint one, as isn't all that visible in most cars when they are finished and suitable for driving.)

After looking at all the results, I believe that your character's line could be one of those half-made-up, toss-a-bunch-of-real-terms-in-there-so-it-sounds-impressive things. It could also very possibly be that my knowledge on these subjects is virtually nix, so I shouldn't be giving an opinion anyhow.

[Rainshadow]

  Huh!  Just looked it up, and it looks pretty cool!  Guess I'm an awesome racecar driver, then.    (Unfortunately, my character is really geeky about cars and is a total jerk, so she's not very likable.  )

[Cornflower MM]

A jerk? That doesn't sound like the Rain I know!

[Rainshadow]

A jerk? That doesn't sound like the Rain I know!

  Lol, it's actually been quite fun to play Blaze.  It's so fun to throw tantrums on stage and to mock the other contestants of the "game show". 

[Cornflower MM]

That does sound fun......
