These are amazing, thanks

I love the first one, I would drive that car

Agree with panamera comment 100%

Kind of curious if you do an image-image conversion of the first one, with the prompt "delorian rolls Royce phantom". The pixels would probably hardly change

This is super cool thanks guys

Love the "day of the tentacle" car

I have an unlimited midjourney account and am bored while waiting to teach my next class.



NGL, I like the look of that. It has a real Syd Mead vibe.

I can't run any more prompts now but I did try pasting Trabant into one of my futuristic miata prompts. It seems to have a general idea that the Trabi is a little 2-door shitbox

Northern Wisconsin is the exception for poo poo winter driving. No mountains, so nobody comes up here really to ski. Thick woods, so snow machine riding is good but not crazy amounts of people and there is no real reason anybody who doesn't have to be here is here except the year-round residents who grew up with winter lasting until April.

In NA trim it makes more power than the turbocharged 2.3, and weighs about 60% as much. Throw in the LS aftermarket, and it's one hell of a package. I'm really curious where they price it, because the 2.3 starts around $7k from Ford Performance, which isn't bad.

That size and weight could plug it into a lot of vehicles where it's a pain in the rear end to fit a full-size LS.

I am not a fan of living in California most of the time, and then this happens. I was pulling up to a local hardware store in my pathetic EV, when I hear a glorious engine noise, and this pulls to a stop in front of me.



I immediately ask the driver (a dude in his 80s) if I can get a picture, and he says sure! He bought this car new in the 60s, had it dropped in the 70s, and his dog (barely visible in the picture) loves riding in it, so he drives it as much as possible.





It is immaculate, I peeked underneath, and it was so clean.


Then I asked him if he would open the hood...



It is a Stroker

What's gunna make it fail is the million dollar question. 2400 mi per day for a month (the goal) is 72000 mi. Is the oil gunna poo poo itself? Cooling? Trans/fluid? Will they miss a refuel?
