Special appreciation post for Prudence’s DM tag with Tim being PruSlay in 2009, bestie was ahead of the times and I love her for it <3

From Red Robin Issue 16 - the Hit List Part Four (2009)

oh sick a car appreciator. what cars would u have based the redbird on?

oohhh im glad u asked... to preface this btw im a car appreciator not exactly an. expert. i love old (40s-80s) cars (i grew up w/ my dream car being an aqua 1965 mustang convertible) but im not like. incredibly knowledgeable

that being said :] ! onward with redbird thoughts

shes supposed to be a rear engined sporty little coupe. modified to high hell. i would wager the rear engine is more so that tim can have weapons (missiles? grenade launcher? a fucking flamethrower?) under the hood and less actually thinking abt what a rear engine could DO for his driving experience at the ripe age of 14. its got a lowered chassis (rear-engine has a lower center of gravity, and if its a rear-wheel drive then overall its saving even More space cramped in the back, and probably has a better "grip" on the road) and apparently has pop out scoops for better airflow.. probably for the best.

its also got a bulletproof windshield! and blacked out windows! are those even legal in jersey? no! the tire shields are fine i guess

my problem with red bird is that shes just a little ugly. like there are things in the body of this car that have potential (i like the pop out scoops but they make the overall silhouette of the car look sort of . back heavy in a bad way) but ultimately fall flat.

so im gonna look at some cars that i think still sell the look they were going for!! FROM his time period even!!

the ferrari testarossa (produced from '84-'96 and im looking at the late 80s/early 90 ones here)

this is my ideal car to base redbird on. its a mid-engine, which has the best overall center of gravity, and while it limits cabin space its not like we were worried abt tht with tim. its still a 2 door sports car with a low chassis. the air scoops dont need to pop out, it has room in the back for the drag 'schute that they wanted to include, and has the room in the front too. also! she looks KILLER in red<3

the pontiac firebird trans am (1993) + chevy corvette ('90 red c4)

this is included in case we do not want to look at ferrari. sporty! red! coupe! i have less to say abt these ones honestly

i could just start naming other sporty coupes but my point being like.... theres cars of this era with the look theyre going for that look perfectly fine in the three different price ranges (general motors making pontiac as their low-tier, chevrolet as their bigger make) and ferrari at the luxury tier

ik 15 years later tim gets a new redbird (2008 i believe) and i do believe they WERE referencing real cars for redbird i simply think. it would not look like that. and didnt have to! less is more. if you want a cool looking aerodynamic sports car then she should look sleek. redbird drawn in the comics doesnt look sleek she just looks silly </3

ultimately i dont want to change her too much from being tim's (say it with me) sporty little red coupe. because thats not a bad thing for a car to be! i just dont think there was that much thought into what the car should look like aside from looking at a picture of a sports coupe and going "ok now add a flamethrower and a parachute"

Relief crashes onto Tim so hard and fast, he chokes on a sob. He crumples forward and rests his forehead against Redbird's, punching out a breathless sigh. Even as tears roll down his face both from the crash of adrenaline and the immense relief, Tim refuses to move his hand to wipe his tears.

“I owe you so much dragon-nip,” Tim laughs hoarsely, "So much."

So... been checking out BatWheels.

It's a very toyetic cartoon about Batman and his rogue's gallery with special vehicles for their escapades. Apparently, the Bat Computer is alive with a quirky robot sidekick called M.O.E. and utilizes copies of her motherboard to bring the five Bat vehicles to life.

Very TV-Y fair that's enjoyable if you're looking for a bit of fluff to unwind to and laugh with/at.

That said... I often snicker at the idea of Batman's darkest stories being translated into this Hasbro-esque pre-school show. I'm talking All-Star, I'm talking The Killing Joy, I'm talking Jason Todd's death, I'm talking even Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

Heck, imagine if they had Harley and Joker be an item in a most toxic relationship.

It's just so funny to puzzle out from a "this is a story that it woefully not for kids so how would they go about making a similar story for kids."

Heck, imagine other more darker villains getting vehicles like Solomon Grundy or Bane. XD

Buff is best boy. :)
