Project X Nears Completion

What if it's a naginta?

[Kielan]

Since Oxer brought up the purposefully-unused N-word, I'm tempted, Kielan. Real tempted.

I mean I was next closest anyway.

Which N word?

All N words are unacceptable.

Google search reveals that Feldgrau looks like primer.

Which N word?
































































the game?

FMU > me > everyone else.


I thought, bmw = german... German past = nazi.... nazi = war = tanks and volkswagens.

That's why I guessed u-boat color... DAMN YOU OXER. Andrew that shipping to Aus is going to be killer you can just send it to me.

Didn't somebody already post matte gray?

But ok, props to Oxer for being right on the button.

ZEEE GERMANS ARE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STANZEIT!

Ladies and gentlemen, it pains me to the fucking bone to say this, but Oxer won. Somehow. I had to check with Eastway to get the color's actual name, but holy shit, right on the button.

Feldgrau is German Field Grey, the matte color typically used on German tanks from the WWII era. We felt that since the X5 will basically become a fucking tank, it was only a fitting color.

I still don't know how he came up with this. Frankly, I'm amazed. Amazed, shocked, saddened, everything at once.

Paint's drying right now, but I won't put up any more teasers. You know the color, you've seen the car (most of it, not the fun stuff we made for it), and very soon you'll get a whole build thread to pour over. We're currently scoping out badass places to take our photoshoot; AJ's got a great place in Joliet that we're looking into.

And for the winner, you receive what is more or less a trinket. From that black E92 with the love-or-notlove-it ADV.1 wheels, you'll be receiving a 2" x 2" aluminum plate with the FMU logo CNC'ed on it.

I was going to keep it to myself, but hell, for that lucky of a guess you deserve something, ya know?

[Kielan]

Damnit I just thought of this.

Same color as a German U-Boat, in matte of course.

[Kielan]

They had warships as well...

[Oxer]

Matte, southern soldier civil war era gray, metallic.

Soldiers aren't big compared to a tank

the game.

God damn it, Oxer.

I hadn't lost the game in the better part of a year.

And for that, I'm now boiling it down to the wire:

Everybody gets one last guess. There is a prize.

Remember the hints:

-Think big.
-Not from this place, nor this time.
-There have been a lot of "close" answers, closer to the 2nd and 3rd pages.
