He's three quarters behind the black knight.

Love the colors and line work as always!

Looks like two hard covers, a paperback, and the largest pyramid I've ever seen 😂

Thank you! I hadn't even noticed I was getting down votes until you mentioned it.

And I wish the best for whoever is down voting.

No idea, something I've been drawing for nearly 20 years. I'm sure there's influence from lots of places.

You're quite handy with a pencil!

One day I hope to hear the LFA in person. Or even see one in person. Car of my dreams right there!

Analogy winner of the day 😂

The Ford GT makes a pretty good argument though. The sound very much has a lot to do with the experience and even it's V6 is a bit sad.

Thank you for taking the time to type this whole thing out! I thought I knew everything but I clearly only knew the GN takedown piece, wow.

 

There is a competition called the 24 hours of lemons, where the car has to cost $500 or less outside of safety equipment. Getting a car for that price is near impossible unless it's totally crashed out but when I was young $500 specials would run for years without much issue. Car costs are nuts these days.

 

Cars of this age just seem to look better with age. This one is particularly gorgeous to me.

 

Gorgeous vehicle that's very well done. My favorite part is that they kept the original shifter, that hits the nostalgia button for me! I can almost hear it shifting in my head right now.

 

My dad owned multiple Nova's as a kid. There were plenty with lifted rear ends and blowers sticking out of the hood. But ours you had to lean forward to get decent acceleration. I still loved the lines of those cars and this one is no different! Spectacular.

 

97 years ago Bugatti was turning out supercharged sports cars... what? I just thought this was a car company that started in the 70s... The more you know.

 

When I find myself at car shows I mostly just want to see the old rare sports cars like this. I dream of daily driving it, knowing my old man back won't be able to handle it. But I can dream right?

 

Set aside that Maseratis are unreliable, lose value about as fast if not faster than any other car brand, or their looks age poorly and look dated in less than a decade, or are way way out of my budget when they first come out, I still want the new ones every time I see them! And this one is no different.

 

I just want to see and hear it just once, and maybe drive the crap out of it on track until they demand their car back.

 

Ohhh yes! Look, I'm not an EV enthusiast but this car might change my mind. I love the way it looks from every angle. Just needs a trapper keeper background to complete the look.

 

When a safety car needs a safety car!

 

I had no idea this type of valve was a thing. Interesting to learn a little about. Maybe something like this would make electrically controlled variable timing more viable and thus improve the efficiency of ICEs?

 

I like the way the glasses turned out. I did an over paint of a photo taken during a family outing and threw some lines on it to help it match. Not sure I like how the background turned out but I need to stretch myself.
