Automation Team Up Challenge, formerly the automation buddy challenge. (Round done)

I’m just going to add a week onto the end of this due to Moroza having some real life stuff come up to handle. That should mean to current groupings work out as they are. Obviously if he gets back and says I don’t want to be in the challenge then things will have to run differently

Despite a lot of Life happening right now, I’m 90%+ able to squeeze in my end of work with @DuceTheTruth100 , but if @Soviet_Russia is still interested, replacing me in that team seems a rather convenient solution.

I just hit your DM.

whatever works best for you

What do you want the naming to look like? I am trying to search for it but I can’t find it anywhere.

good question, can’t believe i missed something so simple. I will update the post with naming, but I will go with “ATUC”

Since Shibusu has had to go away for personal reasons, I don’t have a partner to do the design now.

If possible I would like to find another partner to team up with.

I have the time, but I think it’s Not allowed to work in two teams. My part on engineering is done.

@Skygel14 you are good at designing. How about a 1979 CEAL?

'1979
Vulture 1800 SE Avant
developed in co-operation with Tarquini


Efficiency and affordability doesn’t have to look bad. The new 1979 IAS Vulture proves that. As spacious as ever, but substantially lighter on the wallet. Who doesn’t want that?

Developed in co-operation with Tarquini, the ECC-engine allows for cruising efficiency while retaining well-rounded performance characteristics*, with IAS comforts on the inside where you know them. Air conditioning, heated leather bucket seats, high-quality 8-track stereo, 4-speed computer-controlled automatic transmission, and much more. If there’s a malaise era, we’re not feeling it.

What does such a laundry list of features cost? 10,000$**.

Other manufacturers may eclipse our economy, running cost or performance, but will you find the same level of prestige and comfort in them? We think not. And we think we’re justified in that belief.

*lies
**10,000$ is the base model. Other trims and options may increase retail price. Blah blah blah legalese.

My teammate is a submarine, maybe He dives up until Deadline… :rofl:
Not meant as an offense, but I got no answer for some time.

Nah man that’s on me being stinky, no offence taken. Been way too caught up on Life Stuff™️ to even have it in me to check the forums, probably shouldn’t have signed up for a collaborative challenge like this but eh, you never foresee shit like this coming.

Sorry.

Hosher Strobe

All you see is a flash!

The Strobe is Hosher’s most popular model. Available in a variety of configurations, with the top trim featuring a V8 motor, it has remained a strong seller through the economic crisis. But, with money getting tighter for buyers worldwide, Hosher has revamped their entry-level model to be more appealing and economical.

An electronic automatic gearbox, designed in collaboration with Uyemura’s drivetrain department, is standard in the base model. Driving it is a single-cam, multi-valve engine, making for an economical car with quiet highway cruising.

With quality tires, good suspension, and a comfortable ride as features every model receives, the Strobe provides the best bang for the buck on the market, and it can seat a family of five without stretching its legs. The liftback design allows for smooth aerodynamics, increasing economy without compromising style or space.

Find yours in a flash, at a dealer near you!

Buyer experience may vary. Highway economy: 33 miles per gallon. City: 22 MPG. Combined: 27 MPG. Mileage measured with automatic transmission. Safety systems tested by AVHS to a 5 star rating. Purchase price beginning at 9500 AMD. Price does not include dealer fees, interest, closing fees, or local tax.

LOTTO DID IT!

Yes, the submarine dived up just in time and provided me with a nice design. The Yamaguchi Kuruma, developed in a joint venture of Yamaguchi and Planar. Nothing special about this car, but there is hardly a serious weakness. Perfect malaise boredom with some calm and clean looks.

New for '79, right on time…the Wells Gavino.

The fuel crisis dont got nothing on us. We reached out to our friends at Nordwagen to take the lead on the engineering front. What they returned was nothing short of amazing.

Your getting a boxer4 powerplant, 5spd transmission, DW suspension all around and get this…over 30mpg

Over 30 mpg!!!..and its fun to drive!!

And despite downsizing, the car still has a premium touches throughout.

You wont be scared to be seen in the Gavino, You’ll WANT to be seen.
