I've gor a engine model number system

Say P857VT-P16TL-CS4S-088

That's a Performance application of the V8 5.7 block with a turbo, pushrod, 16 valves, single 4bbl carb, standard intake, made in 1988 (I'd never create such a monstuosity.)

This is what I actually use :

Code:: Chassis naming : <Year><Brand><Purpose><Size><Body><Model> Example : 2014UL61S (Unicorn Prestige) Brand : P : Prototype S : Scorpion U : Unicorn Purpose (for standard model): F : Family (tameness-oriented suspension) L : Luxe (comfort-oriented suspension) U : Utility S : Sport Size (inspired by european segmentation, for standard model) : 0 : Tiny (Smart) - Less than 3.2m 1 : Extra Small (500, Cuore) - 3.2 to 3.6 2 : Small (Clio, Corsa) - 3.6 to 4.2 3 : Medium (Civic, Prius) - 4.2 to 4.6 4 : Large (A4, Mondeo) - 4.6 to 4.8 5 : Extra Large (M5, Voyager) - 4.8 to 5.0 6 : Huge (Flying Spur, Phaeton) - More than 5.0m Body (for standard model) : 1 : Special (Example : Limousine) 2 : 2-doors 3 : 3-doors 4 : 4-doors 5 : 5-doors Model : DC : Developing Country (never written, least expensive cars for emerging markets, offroad capable) S : Standard (only written if others available) P : Premium (options pack with comfort chassis and engine) GT : Grand Tourisme (common sports class, sportier chassis and engine, premium or better options, Automation logo) RR : Road Racing (challenging sports class, racing-derived road cars, Automation logo) RC : Race Cars (not publicly available, ready-to-go competition cars) C : Cabriolet (convertible, premium options) T : Tourer (GT convertible, Automation logo) CS : CountrySide (offroad-oriented class, standard options) L : Leisure (offroad-oriented class, premium options) RS : Rallye-Sport (sportier offroad class, premium options, Automation logo) HT : HillTop (offroad-optimized cars, options based on influence and country regulations) W : Wagon (Standard station wagon) E : Estate (Premium station wagon) SE : Sports Estate (GT station wagon, Automation logo) H : Hearse EV : Emergency Vehicle (Police, Fire Dept.)

No joke, this is what I'm preparing for the time I'll publish my cars. Who's weird now ?

P.S. : don't take the "bitch" as is, please.

I have to put -'s in mine otherwise i'm lost. I'm dyslexic and a serial number type thing like yours only looks like a jumbled mess to me.

And don't worry about the bitch please. I can intertubes too.

You have a point. And you crank a lot more info in your names.
I usually use one camshaft and injection type per generation, so I'm actually reducing the names to the minimum size.
And for the mess, it's way easier to understand it when you made it yourself, eh ?

Don't worry, I'll make it even harder...

So, who's the next to come up with crazy thoughts ?

- I've got stange addictions with numbers (.5 incrementations in bore/stroke, 20 in brake sizes, 12.5 in colling capacity, avoiding 17/19/21" wheels)
- When I target an engine capacity, like 2.0L, I'll get the closest possible to it but still under 2000cc, and while keeping relative bore/stroke equality
- I like to carefully select a color for each car, and find a poetic name
- I always name my cars with its release date first, so I find one easily
- I always save a temp version on every change while adding fixtures
- I always use at least +1 quality, as I expect my company to keep at least 1 tech year in advance to the others
- I usually avoid turbos, as I'm not quite sure I set them up right and as they're heavy on the RON side
- Using even capacities or .5L (2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8...)
- Documenting EVERYTHING, like 68-84 US headlamps regulations, side markings laws, etc. It HAS to be accurate !
- When setting a spot for licence plates, set it both high enough for US/Jap plates and wide enough for Euro ones, so we have a single bumper for most countries

I think that's all for now, I'll let you folks recover from my insanity

Most of these "weirdnesses" works for me too

I have a habit of continuously not knowing what I am doing. LOL :lol:

On modern cars, I tend to use the same combination of lights and vents. This doesn't sound so bad until you realize that my compact econoboxes look just like my hypercars.
(Still haven't made a 900+ horsepower, 40+ MPG hypercar yet, though...)

I always start making older cars, and update them and the engines as the years go. Ever. Like Kev2442, I watch in the regulations and the advances of market, but this is "normal for me"...

All my street cars regardless of use, tend to run lean (i have a very hard time tolerating fuel waste)

I almost always stick to single standard multi point fuel injection because I love the way it looks with a performance intake

Also, a lot of my cars use the same grilles and vents...

I commonly make cars in the 90's instead of modern times. Partly because the music is better.

This makes me feel old - lol

The music in the 2010 era is really sedate compared to "Ride the edge" and "Throttle."

I name my cars weirdly. For example: "Potatismos" is mashed potatoes in swedish and if you pronounce it like swedes do it sounds something like po-tah-tis-moose
