Look, a Keelback! or How I started seeing ED everywhere

[HRDiagram]

Earlier, I was browsing on my computer, and I opened MS Edge, which is what I use to log on Inara, etc. on one of my alts.

As the window opened, I looked at the tool bar absent mindedly

and my eyes paused, if only for just the fraction of a second, on this detail

Normally, that's a jigsaw tile however, this time, as my eyes moved away, my brain told me "A Keelback!"

I stopped for a few seconds, wondering where I had seen it, before I consciously realised that the little icon is now a little Keelback to me, and I can't unsee it!

Can confirm.
Either a Keelback or a Panther Clipper.

I saw a picture of a 1967 OSI Silver Fox prototype the other day and was reminded of a Mamba:

It even has two hard point slots near the front, two large up top and the center part for the Huge bad boy!

I refuse to believe this car wasnt the inspiration for the mamba.

I refuse to believe this car wasnt the inspiration for the mamba.

I believe it's a double inspiration:

• the shape inspired the Mamba
• the ugliness inspired the FDL

The fdl is a dairylea slice inspired ship.

Once again an old car, and once again from quirky rides on twitter I've come across this 1947 #Dolo Type JB 10.
The front of this mental French car is clearly an adder.

If it had pineapple on top, then it was a proper Anaconda!

Incidentally, every time I see a Sidewinder I think "Taco!" and vice versa.

I was hoping that someone would see it this way!
Well done you!
