okay so I've got this headcanon for a while about Sheep era where Shirase and Chuuya kept trying miscellaneous insane things to test out his powers. Shirase launching random trash like cans and empty bottles at Chuuya like "come on bro! if you want to kick bullets in midair you gotta start bigger!" Basically like a batting cage but with litter.

Mustang Mach 1 “Twister Special” (Test Vehicle).
This is the only “Twister Special” test vehicle Ford ever made, it was developed to test out and showcase the rare Twister Special option package for the 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that was only available in the Kansas City sales district.
Just 96 examples of the Twister Special Mach 1 would be built, 48 had the R-code 428 Cobra Jet V8 and the other 48 had the four-barrel 351 Cleveland. All were finished in Grabber Orange paintwork with side stripes, and they had special “Twister” decals to help set them apart.
The original plan was to build 5 Mach 1 fastbacks and 5 Mustang convertibles, all with distinctive Grabber Orange paint schemes and black side stripes. They were all to be powered by the hefty 428 Super Cobra Jet V8 mated to a C6 automatic transmission.
An additional 100 Mustangs were going to be built in this specification and sold as ARI pace car replicas – however ARI went bankrupt, leaving Ford holding the ball. Ford was able to sell off the first 10 cars that had been intended for actual pace car duties, but orders had been placed for 100 additional vehicles.Ford put the word out among their dealer network to see who might be amenable to accepting 100 special edition cars and the Kansas City sales district (DSO 53) took up the challenge. The cars were called the “Twister Special” after the frequent twisters or tornadoes seen in the region.
New Twister decals were added to the car and due to a shortage of 428 Super Cobra Jet V8s just half would get them, with the other half getting the 351 Cleveland V8 with a four-barrel carburetor. The cars proved so popular that Ford also released the Torino Cobra Twister Special and the Ranchero Twister Special, both in bright red. They sold 90 Torino Twisters but just two Rancheros.

A commission I got from @fruitkingfrog 😚
[Image ID: It's the "He wants to order" meme with Orion driving as Lightray leans over him to place an order at drive thru /End ID]
(I know they Technically don't need to drive vehicles to get around, but between the two of them Orion would get a driver's license to operate one)

Yooo! I thought I failed my permit test a while ago but I didn't! The system just needed time to update so when I went to go retake the test I saw that I was able to print out my permit!
I was so ready to take that stupid test again lol (it's stupid because it doesn't even ask about road safety or what each sign means. Instead it is giving like math questions or bullshit about statistics)
