    I guess that would be something important to have for the '69 Belasco spin-off.

    Also, wot? What story would involve a riding lawn mower?

    Well, I'm glad to hear that.

    It will be released on the forums once 100% completed
    Model is from Animium, anyone with an account can download it
    Changing stuff on the model is not likely to happen (i suck with blender) , however I could rebadge it
    It should be decent quality, some of jbeamwork has already been done

    Auriga was drivable back in 0.11.x, not sure if it's now. You just have to delete all lua and replace the powertrain file with a file buried in the forum somewhere.

    Hmmm...interesting. I'll certainly consider it - I may even have to ask Miura for the powertrain file if I can't find it on the forums.

    -Excellent.
    -I'm not sure about that. From what I know, Animium is pretty much a ripped-model hub, and you could have a Gran Turismo or Forza model on your hands. What generation is this Cortina model based on? If it's a Mk2, then that makes it far less likely that it was ripped from a video game (or even from a GTA mod), which (although not preferable) is somewhat better than the situation that I'd be in if it were a Mk1.
    -Well, certainly consider changing something on the model. I've already eliminated the '94 Covet, Prasu, and many other well-built rebadged 1:1 vehicles from my options list (the Satsuma gets a pass, as it was both changed from its original version and given many, many, many bodystyles and features that may never appear on anu official vehicle), so it'd be tough for me to consider adding a rebadged 1:1 Cortina when I'm already ignoring those mods.
    -Alright.

    Also, here's a teaser for the second main character of Selva Rocosa.

    It's the guy with the Bolide, isn't it?

    Also, would you eliminate the Dansworth flatbus?

    Not from what I've seen. I haven't seen a single Blue Bird on the 'Net that looks exactly like it, so I'm planning on using it for Firwood.

    Just making sure, since it's supposed to be based on the TC-Series.
    Also, I'd like to see where Firwood's direction will go compared to this.

    Firwood will most likely be a mild horror story, unlike the spy spoofs of Cars 2 and Despicable Me 2. This is because I wanted to do a Christine-esque story in a map that both has everything for a horror story (a creepy swamp shack, an old house, a bunch of forest) and is located in horror novelist Stephen King's home state. Also, I did not want to do a globe-trotting spy story like Cars 2 because that's not what I'm trying to do with any of my stories. I want to focus specifically upon one small area (admittedly, Firwood will have both ECA and Hirochi Raceway in it, making it the biggest story in terms of map size) and a small number of vehicular characters per story, which will be way less than the ~200 characters in Cars 2 (even Cars and Cars 3, which have ~100 characters each, still have more vehicular characters per movie than you'll likely see in all of the Green Ghost stories and their spinoffs.

    Also, here's the first teaser for Chapter 2.

    It won't be coming out anytime soon. I reckon that it'll take at least six months before Firwood is released. In the meantime, I'll be releasing Chapter 2 of Selva Rocosa soon, but not today. Mostly because I want to give myself enough time to finish up Selva before moving on to Firwood.

    Ok
    --- Post updated ---
    Will there be any relation between the two stories?

    Miura didn't make the updated powertrain, it was Matchbox201.

    Probably, most likely with some vehicles (I'm so sure with the T-Series to be in Firwood as well.)

    Correct; the two stories (and any other stories that I and YellowRusty write in the Green Ghost universe) will be related to each other. However...I won't be carrying over very many characters from Selva to Firwood (Percy definitely will carry over), mostly because it wouldn't make much sense to carry over every single vehicular character from story to story. Not only would it be unrealistic, but it'd also make the rest of the Green Ghost stories convoluted and overly referential to the previous story(ies).

    Also, that '69 Belasco spin-off that I and Rusty have planned? That's currently planned, not promised due to the dire lack of cars old enough to be in the story, and the fact that some (if not most) of the modded cars from the time period will most likely be outdated. I mean, I'd love to help Rusty write about it, but people's interest in building cars old enough to be in the story will heavily affect its chances of being written. It seems that almost everyone (even the devs) are more interested in making cars from 1970 and forward - particularly from the '80s and '90s - and while I can understand why they'd want to do that, I still am a bit annoyed that I'll likely have very few cars to work with.

    The ones before 1969 are cars like the Satsuma, Special (Burnside), Miramar, (fill in any others)...
    Yeah, not a whole lot.
    We do still have a few older cars coming like the Finstray or the Steampunk vehicle.

    oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh a bolide!

    I've seen lots of pre-1969 car needs so a suggestion is:
    Gavril blue collar series mod

    Will the pigeon be rammed by the T-series
