The THING Retrofit Challenge
Waow
Alright you silly, silly people, I've done it! By unpopular demand I'm doing a challenge (and also because I could kind of use a bit of experience in the field - and NOT because I really wanted to show off this novelty giant wrench prop I found)!
You see this thing? This thing is ancient, from the primordial days, back when this here account was still managed by the (stoopid) Mckenzie. And it SUCKS! It sucks so much, in fact, that I am almost completely pawning off the responsibility of making it not suck.
Aren't I so resourceful?
Anyhow, you, my humble labourer, must take this waste of child labour (batteries are expensive, okay!?) and make it better. What is "better" and "still the same vehicle" are entirely up in the air and probably a question for some nerd taking philosophy in university. Perchance.
Submissions can be done either through successor posts, or by hyperlinking it in the comments of this post. So long as I can easily access it for judgement.
Scoring is out of 50 and entirely based off whatever I vibe with at a given moment. Surprise me. Now this text is getting very, very, very little on my 1080p screen oh my goodness Jundroo please fix the description box for SP2 the 'e's look like reverse nines oh god oh hel THIS IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE ANCIENTS THE RUNES THE ENGRAVINGS AND I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT OHHAVE MERCY OLD ONES FOR I AM A SIMPLE GRAIN AND I CANNOT SEE YOUR GLORIOUS PRESENCNNENENENENENNEN

The deadline I'm pulling out of my nonexistence ass is... December 15? Idk. Depends if I get any submissions, and if so how many. And how busy I am. etc. etc.
Oh, and as for rewards:
1st: 10 upvotes, may be exchanged for three spotlights
(if I forget, harp on me)
2st: 7 upvotes, or alternatively 2 spotlights
3nd: 4 upvotes, or a spotlight and a "good job, baby" on whatever post you choose. Yes, I know, it's a bit usual for the best reward to be for third place but I am a generous god.
All accepted submissions: an upvote, maybe tagging some of my affluent friends if I find it funny or excellent enough.
NOTE: I reserve the right to reject a submission for any reason, whether it be its content (do not give the jet car tits), troubles with the person submitting it (chances are you know who you are), or some other thing. Probably won't happen to you, though. Leaving this here as a "just in case" point.
@Graingy :D
@OrangeConnor2 Actually, fuck it, but I choose the plane.
@OrangeConnor2 no
Can I have a “good job, baby”?
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore uh huh
@Graingy Just some indie mobile game with very VERY cursed abomination "coolness" in there, nothing much
@Graingy fine, is mountain chicken available?
the thingy
@Monarchii Well I don't have any of that :/
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore I do not know what that is but I am menaced by the implications.
I will not be held accountable for any vehicular manslaughter committed.
@Graingy I prefer mountain bacon, thanks
I might ngl, got a few ideas after playing some #DRIVE
I did the deed
Oh, right, the wise men.
