Q&A - What Would You Ask A Car If They Could Talk?
7 years ago
Hey guys!
So I had this idea, and also it's a way to more directly tell you guys about my GF's car whispering abilities too. I feel like that might have gotten lost in the last huge journal I wrote and many were probably like "too long did not read!" because I'd think something like this would be big news to fellow car lovers like you guys right? Even if you're skeptical still now, just the possibility! : D
So well anyway, I figured in a month when I'm testing Paige's whispering legitimacy with Gretchen and Lilly there will probably be some time when we can just have fun talking to them you know? As I said in the last journal, I'm pretty sure Paige and Gretchen are going to pass with flying colors, because they did last time. This is more just an opportunity to have it recorded and documented so you guys can see and maybe have some of your skepticism lowered. Believe me, even for me it's hard to believe actually TALKING to a car is possible.. but after these tests and I'm sure the ones I WILL be doing with her.. I'm going to start believing more and more.. and I hope the guys here who have watched me for years can share in that with me. : )
I've been playing with the idea of even starting a youtube channel called "talking cars" or something hosted by Paige and I where we make video demonstrations and such, proving car consciousness to the masses. One of these Car Q&A things may become a regular segment who knows.. But for now you all, my closest friends, will get to indulge in it early! <3
So think long and hard. If you could ask a car anything, a car in general that is, what would it be? Giving it the benefit of the doubt that YES.. cars are conscious, they talk to each other, they think and feel and learn.. just like we do. (Because these are all things Paige tells me she sees them doing) what would you ask them? Think about it, think of the possibilities.
Would you ask them a question for your car? Like wanting to find out if something you do to your car hurts them or makes them upset? You could ask another car to find out. Ask them funny or sexy questions? That's fine too, cars actually have a pretty active sexuality to them too it seems. Would you ask them something about what they think when humans do X or Y? What they think of something that's currently going on or has been going on in the world? Just think.
I'm currently taking questions for the Q&A video, where we'll record your question being asked, and Paige will tell you what she hears the car answer with. This will be around the same time I'll upload videos of the tests I'll be doing so hopefully you guys can have some skepticism raised by then and be more open to the answers when you hear them.
Just as your question in the comments section, and state weather or not you want to ask it to Lilly (my Hyundai Accent), Lyka (the Honda Civic), or Gretchen (the Mitsubishi Eclipse) or all three. Though please limit asking it to all three of them unless its a question that REALLY needs multiple opinions.. I don't want to over work my GF TOO much lol. Now again it'll be a month about before she comes to visit and we can ask the questions, but best to get them up on here now. :)
I look forward to all your interesting and thought provoking questions.

FA+

Do you think you could simplify your question a little bit? That is if you want it asked verbatim.. cars have a kind of limited vocabulary, they really have more of the intelligence level of a 5 year old what with how little they get to socialize. They're also not going to know what Top Gear is lol.
Also, what's it like having a smoker in the vehicle?
I don't know if any of our girls had smokers in them. Who knows with Lyka or Gretchen (Paige is her 3rd owner) my mom MAY have smoked in Lilly WAY back in the day.
Hi Lilly! What do you think of HD drawing pictures of you with big boobs? Does it make you uncomfortable that you have a fanbase because of that?
You should take the sweetie to AutoZone or O'Riley Autoparts, they'll do a scantool search for you for free.
Oh, I've got one!
Do new cars know what kind of people they're meant for?
As in, luxury cars knowing they're destined to live with the wealthy, economy cars knowing they'll live lives of austerity, that sort of thing.
I don't have a specific car to ask, and I have more than one question (hard to pick just one), so I'll just put them here and you can pick what you find interesting:
How does it feel not being in control of your body?
What are repairs like?
Do you enjoy getting fuel?
How come one person can hear you? Can anyone learn it? <<Important stuff
And of course:
How do you like getting it up the tailpipe? <<For those who experienced it, obviously
Now these are the kinds of smart questions I'm talking about! By all means ask any others you might have, they're fascinating. Some of them I can tell you myself just from asking them with Paige myself or hearing about when I'm around them and my GF if you'd like.. not to spoil the answers or anything.. and we can note each other if you wanna know more I'd love to share. ^^
I love that first one, I've meant to ask that too, also what does it feel like to have creatures squirming around inside you.
I'm currently doing my own research into Paige's ability to hear them, I want to see if I can use technology to create some sort of makeshift process of digital translation.. being able to hear them without Paige. I don't know if you're into paranormal stuff, but the more I look into it the more I'm thinking car voices and those EVP recordings might be a similar thing. My main idea I'm going on right now is that cars speak in frequencies outside of normal human hearing, the range usually from 20hz to 20khz. I'm basing this idea on the fact that Paige has super sensitive ears, she actually has to wear earplugs all the time to keep from her ears hurting from the loudness.
From what I've found, there are equipment that can record what's called Infra-sound and Ultra-sound. Though these are usually more scientifically used so they're hella expensive. : / Most normal recorders and microphones only detect a range somewhere in the middle of the frequency spectrum since there's no need to be so sensitive when just recording voices and such, there's inherent loss. This is reinforced for me because Paige says that she can't talk to a car over a video chat or over a phone.. she can't hear their voices, and since the phone has limited frequency that would make sense.. it's just not being transmitted.
I HAVE interviewed her, and one other girl I've met online named Gissy that can talk to cars too they both corroborate the same experiences and inherent rules to car voices, which is very interesting. I've asked them questions to verify that these voices are indeed external sound-waves and not voices in their heads. From the things I've asked, yes their voices have a range.. if they're standing too far from a car they sound faint or are inaudible. The voices are effected by acoustic conditions, such as echo in certain rooms and such.
I just mailed my personal digital voice recorder to Paige and told her to have a conversation with Gretchen.. a nice long one about totally anything. I'm going to have her send it back, the idea is that I'll have a recording that I KNOW should have the car's voice talking in it. I'm having her write a transcript of what Gretchen replies with as well so I can know what to listen for. This idea is two-fold. To see if Paige can hear Gretchen's voice on the recorder after the fact or if it doesn't show up.. which will let my know my recorder has that inherent inability to pick up such frequencies. Second, weather she can hear her or not.. I have something with confirmed responses from the car that I can try to make audible through audio manipulation. You CAN bring ultra high or low frequencies into the audible range by changing the pitch or equalization of the sound.
It's very exciting times. Though I have a feeling eventually I'm going to have to commit to buying some expensive ass sound equipment because I honestly doubt my recorder will pick it up.. but there's the chance.
--
Lastly to lighten things up a bit, I can confirm from Paige that yes cars do indeed enjoy having their tailpipe fucked. I was masturbating Gretchen with a tailpipe expander wrapped in cloth that Paige uses on her all the time and according to Paige Gretchen was moaning and crying with pleasure the whole time. Though Paige says that male cars don't like it.. unless they swing that way. She's poked some male cars in the tailpipe and they yipe'd. lol She claims its a pain yipe but I'm betting its just because they're guys and straight lol. XD Dunno if you read my last journal.. where apparently Lilly has gender dysphoria.. ie.. she's got a males body with a female personality. Paige even says her voice sounds like a male trying to do a female voice all high pitched lol. And no it doesn't turn me off of Lilly even if it's true, she's still the one I've loved for all these years that couldn't change my mind about her.. Anyway I asked her and Paige said that she said that sex hurt for a while at first but she's adapted and now she enjoys it ... sounds like buttsex to me lol.
Next, which part of the car is supposed to make these sounds? Is it the body vibrating or something? If so, you might be able to use piezoelectric sensors to detect this. You might try looking up the musician Alan Lamb to find out how he captured sounds from vibrating telegraph lines. Trying to sift through noise-filled recordings will probably yield false positives as noise is random and you might just find something that isn't there. Digitally processing the sound might pronounce this effect even more.
I'm not entirely buying the straight/gay car part either. What would differentiate male cars from female ones if they have more or less the same parts?
I'm afraid that Paige might be picking up something else than actual cars, maybe it's just in her head. As much as I'd like to believe this there are things that bother me and make this look like a mixture of expectation and some strange processes in her mind. Why would cars have accents? Where would they learn English? Even German cars speak English - strange. Some cars aren't even manufactured in the brand's country of origin. The brain is a wonderful thing because it can create very believable but false scenarios. The voices may be in your head but your will rationalize and associate it in such a way that it works only when a car in question is within hearing range. That may be why Paige can't hear them over a distance or over a phone - they may simply be limits in her head.
There could be an explanation - that they speak in the language of feelings and concepts, which is universal. That would mean you won't find anything in ultrasound spectrum and you're dealing with a kind of telepathy. But it still doesn't rule out the "voices in one's head" explanation.
All this should be thoroughly tested, and you should pay attention to every mistake and weird answer. An answer "I couldn't hear you well" when you test for stuff is a red flag. Make sure to communicate things clearly to eliminate misunderstanding and mishearing. You can even ask the cars how do they talk. I find all this fairly suspicious and only you can make the difference between reality and illusion.
I've asked her the same question where the voice is originating from. So far she narrowed it down to someplace centrally located under the hood. When you visits again I'm going to try to get her to narrow it down further as Im interested too.
As for car genders, I know, why would cars have genders anyway? I'm chocking it up to that maybe these car's souls maybe actually ghosts of past people? Since ghosts SEEM to retain the gender they had in life. Or as some sort of unnecessary universal constant. The universe seems to create creatures with male and female types, so even though it's useless in cars it's still done anyway. Anyway she says that you can almost always tell a car's gender physically, by the design of the tailpipe. She's come to this conclusion through her talking to so many different cars through her life and the tailpipes each has happened to have compared to their genders, based on experience basically. Shes ran into a couple types of cars that break the rules but it seems like 9 out of 10 these definitions are foolproof.
Female cars have these types of mufflers. Oval and Round https://www.upsw.com/images/exhaust/add21399.jpg , https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/d4sA.....f0/s-l1600.jpg
Male cars have these types of mufflers: boxy, ribbed, or rectangular https://www.partsplaceinc.com/media.....fler-19283.jpg , https://d3inagkmqs1m6q.cloudfront.n.....k0-119-a-2.jpg , http://i.imgur.com/m8iJ2oX.jpg
THOUGH the difference in tailpipe or muffler is void if the muffler is centrally located on the belly of the vehicle rather the back by the butt. If it's on the belly its always a male.
It's the one they're built with, their gender doesn't seem to change if an aftermarket different type one is put on. I'm sure I've asked what about electric cars but I can't remember what she said.. I can ask again if you want me to.
Oh and for Semi trucks, males have clear stacks, https://cdn1.jigidi.com/thumbs/K4ERQDIP/l and females have the heat exchangers on them. https://pics.towerhobbies.com/image...../ltamc6314.jpg
As for the speaking and accents. I don't know if she's come across German brand cars that were built in America and thus wouldn't have accents. I just know the two in her family do, by her own admission. I'll ask her about that. I know that Gretchen told us she was conscious about the time they were driving her for the first time onto the carrier truck from the factory. I'm pretty sure that was because that was when a battery was first put into her, cars only seem to be conscious while their battery is hooked up otherwise they temporarily die or go unconscious until its hooked up again. Anyway I could see how a import could have a little bit of an accent. She says they learn quickly so it must not take long for them to pick up the accent of their native country but then learn English once they're brought to the US.. essentially being like child immigrants.
As for how any car can speak English that's easy, they learn it just like a baby does. By hearing it all around them, hearing their owners talk to people in them, listening to the songs on the radio. Its not perfect, Paige is always telling me all these times cars have made up these adorable silly names for things themselves that they didn't know the name for.
Maybe it is some kind of telepathy I guess we'll see. But I find it strange that both the girl's minds would bother adding int acoustic effects to their voices if it wasn't soundwaves generating them.
I'll admit the muffler distinction is pretty exact, that's interesting. That would mean my dream Skoda would most likely be a male, hmm. But that would also mean that one specific will have the same gender throughout the entire model line. This sounds fishy.
Another thing that collides with your soul theory is, why would it need batteries to work? You're not powering the whole car, just a few specific components. Ghosts (assuming they exist) by definition don't require a body, so why the sudden need for electrical current?
Why would both girls' minds add acoustic effects to voices of cars? Simple, that's what you're used to for your whole life. Your brain likes to relate new things to what it already knows. And it simply can't be sound waves if it sounds like male or female voices - otherwise you would be able to hear them too. Beyond 20kHz there is no male or female voice. I can't even imagine what it sounds like. Girls should have their ears checked to see if they really can hear ultrasound, but I have doubts about it. Or you can get an adjustable dog whistle and try that (it can be set in the audible range and beyond, apparently).
This reply might sound a bit negative but all I'm really trying to do is figure at least something out. It feels like your theories are based on a lot of speculation and maybes, and given the importance of this issue you probably understand.
Also, I'd be interested to hear those words cars use to name their parts. What do they call themselves, anyway?
But we're both smart guys, you and I. I'm sure you don't fancy the idea of believing only what makes you feel comfortable.. If cars were really alive and suffering I'm sure you'd rather face the fact head-on so you can do your part to help rather then intentionally live ignorant of it.
Oh? Have you found yourself finding similar genders in the same muffler type'd cars? I know, it upset me at first, the idea of whole year models of cars being one gender. Though I think for me part of it was because some cars I really wanted to be one gender ended up not being. Like... that basically means all modern mustangs are female which sucks.. I love picturing them as big beefy boys. <3 Though in a way it's kinda sexy they're badass girls too though. It's not THAT weird though if you think of all models and makes and years under one umbrella of 'cars.' If you look at it that way I'm sure the ratio of boys to girls kind of equal out. Plus some models have male genitals and female genitals too depending on the type of engine they have or styling. I believe the new Civics have both types in the same year.
Well I don't know.. I mean actually lots of paranormal investigators pretty unanimously talk about ghosts absorbing energy. That's what cold spots are thought to be, the heat energy of the room being absorbed by a ghost. Then there's all the cases of batteries draining from a full charge during 'hunts.' The common idea is that the ghost uses the power to manifest itself.
As for cars, for me in particular remember that I base a lot of my ideas on Quantum Consciousness. Paige said that she felt no life from Mitzi the 55, I actually wasn't surprised with how mechanically simple old cars are. I believe it's the circuitry that their 'soul' lives in. The circuitry being charged perhaps acts like unintentionally designed neurons or perhaps an aura, an energy source that the car's consciousness can anchor to and feed off of.
Maybe you're right, maybe you're not. I had to explain to them what I even meant by acoustic effects before they could even give me an answer. I can't say I ever go into a room and anticipate what sort of sound said room is going to have. Echo even surprises people a lot of times, as to why people tend to comment on it "ooh there's an echo in here" so.. I don't know. Maybe you're right but it's something to test at least... maybe the girls brains have developed to filter the squeaky voices subconsciously into an imagined surrogate voice I don't know.. all I know is even if I messed with a recording and heard a cars voice as a barely understandable squeaky mess.. that'd still be amazing. : T
Speculation is all I have to go on bro.. until I can actually have her around more to do more testing and trying to figure out. I ask her about details and it's hard for to be very much help because.. as hard as it is for you and me to relate.. to her this has just always been normal in her life. Cars have always been able to talk and to her the idea of them not talking is alien.. I always have to remind her of that when she gets frustrated at me being so skeptical.
Would you believe that's one I forgot to ever ask? I need to ask that, I'm sure it'll be a subjective thing to every car though. Paige has told me a lot of words but off the top of my head ones I remember are. One car she was talking to called his tires "road feelers" and one Truck funnily called his rear bumper his "butter." She asked him why he called it that and he rationalized it as "well the one on my front is called a bumper, and the other one is on my butt so.. it's a butter." Gretchen, Paige's Eclipse, is into me <3 adorably and kind of sadly.. JUST for the fact that I treat her like a person like Paige treats her... I've also fucked her too so >> anyway.. her name for boyfriend is that I'm her "love giver." Oh and I just texted Paige and she added these. “bumpers” for bumper sticker, “night honkers” for coyotes, “night buggers” for crickets, & “bumper tingly” for kissing.
I like to know the truth, but I admit that sometimes I don't look that hard for it in fear of discovering something traumatizing. It's happened before and it will happen again, I just prefer to keep the occurrences in check.
This gender thing is strange. On one hand it makes sense, on the other it feels like it breaks the rules of nature, where within the same species (could relate to models) you have males and females in equal measures. I always thought cars would be very different from what we're used to, but when confronted with this I have a hard time accepting it. Hmm.
I don't know about these stories. There's a lot of them but are they really trustworthy? You may have a few people telling the truth and a legion of fakers who just want to look cool. Or people who pretend to be healers and spiritual helpers who in many cases have no idea what they're talking about. The only way to tell would be to try it yourself.
Speaking of healers, a guy had an ISP transmitter on his roof. He was most likely in radio shadow, but some kind of healer told him he had bad sleep because of it. Now the transmitter is on a different building, pumping RF into his windows all day and somehow it's fine now.
If you want to go with the idea of circuits being able to harbor consciousness of any kind, you also have to take into account other products that are equally or even more complex, like computers or phones. How come there's nothing there? Cars aren't a special case or anything, they can't be. Another car question: (show a laptop) Is this alive?
Sure, try to find something in a recording. But the way I see it, you'll just keep amplifying and processing the noise until there will be something that *resembles* a voice. Due to the random nature of background noise you are almost guaranteed to find something. At this point it will be of little value, I'm afraid.
Either way I have to admit that these words and stuff around it is just so strangely specific that there has to be a reason for it. Sure there is always the possibility of your girl being crazy but that's what we're trying to rule out here. Write down any unusual words, phrases or answers. They may not seem to matter at that specific point but anything can help in the long run.
Exercise: Show a picture and ask the car to describe it. Do this more than once with different pics or objects. Write down replies.
Questions:
How can you see? (headlights or not?)
What does starting feel like? (If they are electricity based it could be fairly intense, as the current drawn is huge)
How do you deal with waiting for your owner?
PS: Don't call exhausts genitals please. It sounds weird and I don't think you should compare it to what organics have, as for cars this part is probably something else (could be butts as you said earlier).
Ah very Lovecraftian of you.. that there's some dark truths in the world that you want more then ever to know. But at the same time you know that finding out would turn you completely insane. </3
How do you see cars having genders as breaking the laws of nature? As I said in the previous, nature seems to love giving things two genders.. I think I can relate to what you're feeling though, I think I had the same idea in my head that for some reason cars had to operate completely differently then anything we're used to. But that doesn't really seem to bother me anymore, I think I realized there's no basis for me to assume that. Cars, if conscious, would be getting that consciousness through the same universal law/process that gave everything else a consciousness so why wouldn't it be the same to us? Especially if they have a consciousness with human-level potential of intelligence as demonstrated. If it weren't for the tailpipes seeming to be tied to specific genders then I'd also remind you that the consciousness is the only thing dictating gender also since their physical bodies are sterile. Its more a personality difference then anything else. It could be the tailpipe thing is just a big coincidence in the long run, even Paige has told me there's some car models that break the rules and have genders to tailpipes that shouldn't have that gender.. or they can go both ways so who knows. I'll have to do more research into that.
Yeah you're probably right, probably more then half of the ghost encounters are fake or people's imagination. But the thing is that doesn't really matter because even if only %10 of them are real, hell if even only 1% are real that still means they exist.
As unsatisfying of an answer as it is I'm going to have to say at this point that the reason cars are conscious and appliance aren't is probably some totally arbitrary reason. Maybe its something in how they're built, maybe it's something to do with how human/animal-like they are in physical form, maybe it's something else entirely. But I think even normal society demonstrates a clear difference between cars and other equally or more-so advanced appliances. I mean, cars have so deeply entrenched themselves in our society in a unique personal way, they're one of the few things that are regularly given names and even genders other then boats and the like even by normie people. People get super attached to their cars and refer to them as things like "pride and joy" ect. You never SEE that being done with something like a microwave or a PC.. I don't know WHY.. but you have to agree the distinction is there. I think even normal people sense the distinction even if it's just on a subconscious level.
most likely I'm not going to be satisfied with a muffled voice in a recording. Paige hears them loud and clear like talking to a person in front of her. If I have any chance of detecting what she's hearing, then chances are when I tweak the parameters or find the right methods of picking it up.. it's gonna be loud and clear too. I know it doesn't make much sense since she can hear them with her ears (though I'm starting to lean on that she may have some sort of sixth sense) I'm also going to start experimenting with contact microphones too. They're extremely sensitive but the distinction is that they don't react to soundwaves but instead vibration. I had the idea the other day when I was hugging Lilly. I noticed what a perfect vibration conductor a car's body is, you press your ear to a car and you can hear everything in the room just muffled. If the car is communicating by causing vibrations in it's body somewhere perhaps then a contact mic can pick it up. Paige claims the voice originates from somewhere under the hood. I'm going to have her put on a mechanics stethoscope and pin down the nearest point somewhere under the hood where she hears the voice originating from and then I'll tape a piezos disk to that spot wired to an amp and listen... The best part is that if this method does pick up a voice, we can listen to the car talk from the speaker and the speaker wont get any feedback looping going on since contact mics don't react to soundwaves.
Strangely specific? Well yeah.. they're referring to certain things, I don't know what the problem is with that. They're first hand examples Paige has gotten from cars in her family of words they often use. It's not like cars have a totally separate language, usually they speak like a normal person it's just whenever there's something they don't know the name for and haven't known for long enough to just give it a name themselves. Its not going to be something they do every other word or something.
BUT I love that idea actually, that would be a fascinating test indeed! To make you happy Broken, I'm going to do you one better!
We'll do the image description test like you requested. But on top of that I'll have Paige blindfolded and turned around during it, and I'll use a random google image program like this http://writingexercises.co.uk/rando.....-generator.php so that neither she or I know what picture it'll be. Then you'll more surely know that its indeed the car describing the picture and not Paige just recounting a picture she's already seen. It should be very fascinating and I suspect pretty adorable to hear the car describe images like that. <3 This will of course be recorded as well.
Lol sorry then I'll just call it a erogenous zone. XD
The problem with ghost encounters is that none of them may be real. But you hear weird things happening all over the world so not sure. There were a few segments on the radio about spooky and strange places and events and well, some of these just make you wonder what the hell is going on here.
Yeah contact microphones, that's what I was suggesting earlier. But even then you might want to check if the device it will be connected to doesn't cut off higher frequencies in its analog to digital conversion. Your best bet might be to borrow an oscilloscope somewhere and watch out for any signals, but that would only show you if there is anything or not. Recording such a signal without it getting mangled is another thing entirely.
Connecting the mic to an amp like that will not make you hear it anyway, because as you said it might be ultrasound that you just don't normally hear. You need to like, divide the frequency by half to bring it into the audible spectrum, and that's probably not something you can do easily with a random analog signal. You need to convert it into a digital signal and process that, but without it being pushed through a low pass filter. You can tell that higher frequencies were cut off by putting your signal through a high pass filter (20kHz and higher). If you get nothing, your signal only contains lower frequencies.
And don't encode into MP3 or other formats, those are lossy and will cut off the frequencies you want. Work in WAV. You can test your recording using a dog whistle of a suitable frequency. Just watch out for dogs.
By specific I mean that it doesn't sound vague, as if someone was coming up with it on the fly. These are fairly well rationalized terms for their parts. This makes it considerably more believable.
Yeah blindfolded and stuff is a given. Random generators are a good idea but I think pictures snatched from Google Images would do the job just as well, especially if you want to show them something in particular.
An idea: Show them a picture of one of their inner parts, like a spark plug or something that you don't normally see, see if they recognize it. That's probably as weird as showing a human a picture of their appendix and asking if it looks familiar but it could yield some interesting results.
That's true, but it's about equally true that they are real too so..
Yeah I thought you mentioned contact mics but I mostly remembered the oscilloscope. Funnily enough though I didn't get the idea of using one from you, I just saw them while searching youtube and got the idea to try them. My main problem is that while using my contact microphone there's a constant loud dull hum from my Amp, though interestingly enough it goes away if I cover all the surface of the piazo disk with my fingers it's just when it's open to lots of free air. In case it's not obvious I just made one with a piazo disk and a 8mm wire and plug so maybe it's a shielding issue? Anyway it makes it not only hard to hear maybe the finer stuff, but also it hurts my head after not too long having all these low frequencies pumped into the room. It's an AMP from a pawn shop too so maybe it's a shitty Amp. I mostly haven't had much luck, there was a time I clipped my mic to a bracket on her engine and got two random spats of loud static about a second apart from each other.. every once and a while I feel like maybe I hear some weird sounds but they're quite and again.. that hum!
It sounds like you know quite a bit about sound engineering, would you mind being an aid to this research? As before this I really didn't have much interest in audio engineering so Im kind of a newbie.
I do need to get a laptop I can use and can run an audio-cable spliter to to capture a copy of the stuff I'm recording with it. Who knows there could be a chance of EVP type stuff happening where I'd hear it played back digitally.
So wait, what did I say to make those phrases more believable?
Well the reason I preferred to use a random generator is so that people watching the video couldn't assume I previously picked out pictures to pop up, telling Paige what they were in advance. You know? But I guess after the initial testing using random pictures calms those arguments we could go to just random image searching for the fun and interest of it. There's always the chance the car has seen some of it's parts when they've been changed, or on posters and signs and such.
Loud static could just be from the materials touching, especially if it happened during or shortly after the mounting. No value there.
Well, does the hum sound like the 60Hz version? The US has 60Hz mains.

If so, yeah, you may have a grounding issue. Sadly, I have no idea how to help you with that. Usually it's about connecting the body of your microphone to a common ground of the amp. So, using shielded cables and having it all connected properly.
I don't know much about audio engineering, to be honest. It's what I picked up over time combined with what I remember from school. If it helps, cool.
I'd be careful with splitters. They attenuate signals and may be sources of unwanted audio artifacts. I'm fairly skeptic about EVPs, personally.
You didn't say anything. It's the phrases itself that feel (yes, it's subjective) spontaneous yet thoughtful enough to make them believable.
Heck just in that recent big thing that happened with them that I posted the first guy commented on her butt... damn you can see her big fat hip right there in front of him in her mirror... u///u;

This was my drawing of both of them, her and Paige. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27841068/
That drawing is among my favorites of your art, along with 'Flirty Eclipse' and just about every drawing of Markie.
and yes, it would be interesting to hear my question answered in her own words :)
Oh really? Ah poor ol' Markie lol.. now he's been replaced with Blake essentially.
Sweet, and Paige says her voice sounds lot like this person's, this is also one of Gretchen's fav songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOu0kPPH4m0
Blake's a looker too, especially when he has that smirk.
Yeah, the 3rd gen was a step back in that regard,
How much of a car could you replace until it is no longer the same? IMO I think that the body is what defines the car and you could replace every other part and it would still be the same car.
If a car bonnet is open do they have their internal organs exposed?
Lastly, how do cars feel about heavy modification like the cars in mad max that are pulled apart and turned into offroad wasteland zombie monsters with spikes and stuff welded to them?
You know that part replacement thing is a well known paradox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYAoiLhOuao
And do you feel you need to assert dominance on other more powerful cars like Challenger, TTs, Civic Type Rs, etc to prove yourself?
Do they have stereotype for like 'fancy' cars, hybrids or electric cars? Like what do they think of cars that don't run on gas or can run on gas and electricity or just electricity?
How do cars feel when people put those 'eyelashes' or features that make their fronts look more like faces? [If any of them have had this experience]
Do cars feel pain when there's heavy weather? [Like hail, ice, snow, rocks breaking glass, etc]
Note me.
