Welp, I wasn't actually posting here because I had to do some other stuff here and there, besides the fact that having ADHD sucks, also the reason why I haven't finished the Dirt To Daytona fantasy drivers carset yet.
And I was actually about to move to Armory Digital when I saw the news that Stunod was going to disappear and to be converted into a Discord server, so I really didn't knew by then what to do with my downloads, so I thought of moving.
Fortunately, Stunod survived, and hopefully, we will still have it for many years in the future.
But anyways, I've been doing some stuff since my latest download, although, most of my summer vacations (because it's currently summer here in Peru) were actually pretty boring, until a few weeks ago, where I travelled to the US for the second time in my life, amd boy those were some pretty nice days.
And also, I made one of my biggest dreams come true, finally, I attended a NASCAR race for the first time ever, and yes, it was none other than this year's Daytona 500, a day I will never forget. In my next post, I will leave some pictures and videos of my experience there, they're in my phone and I feel pretty lazy to leave them here right now, but I promise, I will show you guys in my next paint scheme.
Soooooo, as for the paint scheme itself.
I
LOVE
PEPSI
BLUE
And I actually do, however, I was never able to try the original Pepsi Blue. The original run was through 2002 to 2004, and I was born in '03, so I guess it's pretty obvious I wasn't really "alive" to experience Pepsi Blue, hell, I'm not even sure it was even available here in my country Peru.
However, there was a second run, a much shorter one which lasted from late 2021 till early 2022 which was only for xmas for some reason. This was one of the ads used during that campaign.
By then I already knew about the original 2002 Pepsi Blue and I was damn crazy for it, specially because of nostalgia, ironically, for a time that I have no memories of and I was barely alive, hell, I was either not born yet or I was a baby back then, but still ,the nostalgia factor was there, maybe some very deep feelings from a very old past from which I somehow can still feel it's existence, even though my mind wasn't developed enough to actually experience it, it was somehow still there.
But anyways, because of the nostalgia factor, and my unhealthy and kinda unholy love for brands and packaged foods, I knew I had to try Pepsi Blue (or blue pepsi idk). And I was chasing that damn drink for weeks if it wasn't for months, until finally, at a convenience store named Tambo, it was there, the blue pepsi, and damn I loved that drink, although not at first, it said it had this blueberry flavor, but I wasn't able to identify it on my first try, but later on it came, and that's when I fell in love with that diabetes-inducing blue colored blueberry flavored carbonated water.
Then, throughout the whole summer of 2022, I was buying blue pepsi's like a madman, hell, I got COVID at some point during that summer, and from home and with some help, I managed to get some blue pepsi, although I had to store them so I could drink them once I got healed from COVID.
But later on, there were less and less blue pepsi¿s available until they were all gone from the shelves. I knew this would happen (it says "limited edition" on the packaging), so before the love of my life would go extinct, I bought my final 4 blue pepsi's, I would drink 2 of them months later, and the other two, I still have them in a shelf as some sort of collectible. I plan on selling one of them on ebay in some years from now like some people are doing with older unopened drinks, even including 2002 Blue Pepsi's, and I will keep the other one, as some sort of trophy or eternal reminder perhaps.
Anyways, given my Blue Pepsi euphoria (a personal trend I could say), I had this idea of making a paint scheme situated in the original Blue Pepsi days, kind of a "What If" type of thing, and I believe it could've been possible, I mean, we all know how Pepsi had quite a presence for Jeff Gordon as well, even beyond the paint schemes.
So, not just it was something I liked, it also made sense and it was totally possible and with that I made this paint scheme, but it was in early 2022 and now finally, here it is. Although it's not the original one, the original one was made for original cup and it was in my older PC, which unfortunately, was stolen about a year ago, and months later, I came up with the idea of remaking this áint scheme to finally post it once and for all.
Uff, that was a lot, possibly my longest post so far, I really had A LOT to say about my whereabouts, and about this car and the reason why it exists.
So anyways, I don't wanna bother you guys anymore for now, I hope you guys like this paint scheme, and I will be back later with more paint schemes to come. Don't forget to leave some feedback, it always helps.
Thank you guys for downloading!
3KM out.
