Speaking of, Lila is up and running again. Snatched a transmission form an E-series van.

Thankfully it was in time for the winter, you know not the horror of going through a PA winter with the nonexistent heating system in a VW.

My car, Franz, his heater is working. The only things I did to him were: putting a new motor for the windshield wiper (one is good, two is excessive, frankly) and my dad and I got rid of the rust.

Ah, well I've noticed that VW's seem to all have pretty terrible heat and A/C. Lila still needs a few miscellaneous trim pieces, and some squeaks quelled, and sometime in the future an A/C recharge.

Character designs through the generations. Gen 2 looks pretty good, actually.

My parent's Audi A6 had a schizophrenic A/C, it would change it's mind and become a heater, during the summer. (Audi is VW, after all)

Looks good, except for G3.5

G2? Is there even a show about that? I guess I should ask Time/State of Deseret about that. He likes the previous generations.

Lol it's bad even when compared to G1.

But, beware G3.5 Newborn Cuties. The horror!

Probably a good idea from a marketing perspective. Calling your toys by a different name or playing them with a different personality than what's established can lead to controversy when playing with others, potentially leading to kids not wanting a toy of a character with a personality or backstory they don't like. Good-looking toys with little or no plot or established characterization means the buyers can play with them however they want. Just look at what the fandom did with "Derpy" and "Vinyl Scratch" and "Octavia".

... and "Bon Bon" and "Lyra" and "Doctor Whooves" and "Caramel" and...

Yes, G1 is best non-FiM generation.

Indeed. Fanon personalities have been around since the beginning.

Don't be preposterous. It is well known Twi can recite pi to the 1000th place with ease.

I think its more the Pie's method of figuring it out that is driving Twilight crazy, not the actual counting of decimals of pi.

I don't get Doctor Whooves to be honest, or Lyra and Bon Bon's relationship.

What's to get?

They were seen together a lot, we shipped them, and now I'm a lesbian horse.

LyraBon is ubiquitous. It's best to just accept it.
