#MEGATECH

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Vector M12, 1995. Produced by by Vector Aeromotive under parent company Megatech, it was their first product after the hostile takeover of the company from Jerry Wiegert by the Indonesian company Megatech. Because Megatech also owned Lamborghini at this time the M12 was based on the Lamborghini Diablo and used its V12 engine. The design, by Peter Stevens, was based on the still-born AWX3. The M12 was criticised for being a  "botch job" that was "slower, uglier and of lesser build-quality" than the Diablo and sales were slow. Production ended in 1999 after 17 cars had been made (including prototypes) when Vector became unable to pay Lamborghini (by this time part of the Volkswagen Group) for its V12 engines. MSN Autos included the M12 on its list of "The World's Worst Supercars."

Vector AWX3 Prototype, 1992. Planned as a replacement for the Vector W8, the WX3 was to be powered by a proprietary 7.0 litre DOHC V8 engine. Planned by Vector Motors founder and chief designer Gerald Wiegert, the model designation stood for Avtech Wiegert Experimental 3rd generation. The prototype used a modified version of the W8's twin turbo V8. After a hostile takeover by the primary shareholder, Megatech, production of the AWX3 was cancelled.

Adventures at a Writers Conference (based on actual events).

What we Adults do when baby writers aren't around.

FRIDAY, DAY 1:

Me getting ready.

Me making an entrance at the hotel.

Me discovering I forgot to reserve a room at Convention Pricing, and it's too late to do it now, so it's gonna cost my $75 more.

SATURDAY, DAY 2:

Writer peer pressure in the Breakfast Room.

Catching up with my jet-lagged editor.

Me bringing a panelist's attention to the fact that he is going on too fucking long.

My editor about all my 200,000 book ideas.

Listening to a Tor panelist expounding on his proposed Dystopian-MegaTech-Lovecraftian-Game of Throneish-Victorian series with a Trans Edgar Allan Poe.

YAY LUNCH!

Me catching a nap on the bar sofa and discovering someone brought their fucking kid.

When a writer I greatly admire says one should write even during a conference.

Me trying to write even during a conference.

The pool has too much chlorine.

OH BOY DINNER TIME!

People who haven't seen me for a decade who've heard about my "interesting" life.

Me at dinner (sound on):

Me and my annual Pontet-Canet Bordeaux and that Romantasy writer no one wants to talk to but who sits down uninvited.

SUNDAY, DAY 3:

My editor when I say I don't want to cut my 460-page middle-grade novel by 100 pages.

When an "indie" author tries to tell me her "brilliant" idea for a novel.

YAY LUNCH AGAIN!

The autobiography author who goes on and on and on about how he'd once wanted to commit suicide.

The inscrutable new publisher when I ask for her CV.

That midlist author who's really fucking bitter about being midlist.

WOO HOO DEAD DOG PARTY!

Trying whiskey again like a fucking idiot.

CHECKOUT TIME WHEEE!

Wondering if my boyfriend and his daughter have missed me.

My boyfriend and his daughter having a fine weekend without me.

And another post about another writers conference, which uses some of the same gifs. Because.

River Ward and female V

/ Work in progress

still thinking about river ward and female V

I havent done playing (running away from spoilers😂) but river and V made such a good partners

* Jul 18 I hope after the ending they move in together, work tg as detective... Like River gets the job, V handles it. esp river wants to work on kidnapping crimes, my OC V will gladly give a hand.

My OC was a former corpo, tired of megatech's corruption and tiredness. Guess the new life with freedom suits them perfectly hihi

Imagining their office - a cozy front desk prob designed by River, V lying on the sofa, non-sense small chatters until the client rushes with panic. Like how both of them will change into professionals as soon as the client comes in. I think my V will have zero mercy on child crimes, and i luv this part. Throwing nasty words to River on Holocall until the prepedator pops out 🤣

* Jul 19th After i got a nasty text from River MY WHOLE PERCEPTION OF HIM CHANGED

i thought he was innocent lil pookie but NO HE WASNT how naughty u r River

Thinking V kept got nasty texts from River while she is on work😂 I realised V has a dominent mood while intimacy (my thoughts throughout the scenes), and I hope he really enjoys it too XD Handcuffed, tied, what else...? As a former PD he woulda never thought himself getting tied up HIHI

V rushes, too rushed that she almost hit a cop, slams the door to make those naughty texts into real. Goofy smile on my face imagining 😏

My first thoughts were him not used to explicit stuffs but HIS TEXTS River's also 40 around so guessing he's more mature and knowledgeable in terms of intimacy

* Jul 21st My first play was corpo V. I prefer to play a character who has the most background infos so I chose Corpo, but now it seems like V and River's life are similar. River believed that becoming a cop is the best choice he could make after the incident of his parent, V believed that entering arasaka will fulfill her life with ease. Both are betrayed of they childhood dream, being fooled and exploited. I hope River and V finds a better life together freely. Enjoying the life with River, maybe get away from NC and start a new chapter of themselves. Drop the past and sorrow, move on to next 😁 At the end, a rumor about a legendary merc will spread around NC, not none of them will know the truth. Only a cocktail of V's name will be sold in Afterlife.
