both!

so an individual car model can have multiple body styles and trim levels

both of these, for example, are 2009 honda civics. the one on the left is a 4 door sedan, the one on the right is a 2 door coupe. but they’re both the same car

or another example, 2004 subaru impreza. the one on the left is an impreza sedan, the one on the right is a higher trim level (WRX, a sports model) and body style (wagon/hatchback depending on who you ask). they are however both still 2004 subaru imprezas

all three of these are 2010 honda accords. the top left is a crosstrek model, built to be a true crossover (mix between a sedan and an SUV), top right is a 4 door sedan, and the bottom is a 2 door coupe with a bigger engine. all three are vastly different but fall under the same model name

occasionally a trim level will split off and become its own thing. one example of this is the toyota supra

this is an early 1980s toyota celica supra. at the time, the main model was the celica, and supra was the name of a higher more performance-driven trim level, kind of like the impreza wrx. come 1986 though, the car split off from the celica name and became its own car:

this is a 1986 toyota supra. i would include a picture of a celica from the same year but i’m out of images i can post on mobile lol, but they became two different cars.

and then finally yes, year changes a lot. cars will keep the same name but be constantly improved and redesigned over time. every time one model undergoes a major revamping, that’s a new generation of the car

this photo is one of every generation of chevrolet corvette, a model that has been in production from the late 1950s (the red convertible on the bottom right) to now (the red convertible bottom center). they all look vastly different but share some similarities and are all, at their core, the same car

on a final note, sometimes there are years between generations of the same car, where a model gets discontinued and then the name is brought back later. this is where the cherokee comparison comes in. they made the first cherokee up through 2001, then discontinued it, replacing it with a model called the liberty. they brought back the cherokee name with a new model in 2015. this happens pretty often! the aforementioned toyota supra is an example of this too, they made the first four generations from 1978 to 2002, then brought back the name with a new sports car that borrowed some styling from the older models but had entirely new modern design and internal workings, about four years ago

I am wondering though: what does the "Data Duplicate FOR SKETCH ONLY" sheet mean? was it for evening out the amount of duplicate scar votes were being submitted (my impression from looking at it i have limited excel knowledge)?

can you draw a lobster

tumblr user thiefnessman I have not had that happen but what I DID have happen on sunday was that the spreadsheet for holiday exchange has so much data in it that it ran out of memory and started throwing false positives and giving me inacurate if-then statements *specifically* in the form that it gave me false ship requests and I only noticed cause I was like "goddamn a lot of people requesting tommyinnit ship I guess that's not as illegal any more? the power of tommyinnit rpf" and I was seven matches into covering all these ship requests when I looked at a different pane and realized one of my sheets had borked.
