A retro-futuristic orange car-plane with propellers flies in a blue sky with clouds. "404 NOT FOUND" text is visible. Painterly style.

A somewhat retro-futuristic car-plane hybrid, perhaps a slightly clunky, orange and white contraption with visible propeller engines on its wings and small, retractable wheels. It's struggling to gain altitude, its nose pointed determinedly towards a towering bank of soft, white clouds that look invitingly fluffy. However, it's clearly not a smooth journey. The propellers are sputtering and whining inconsistently, sometimes revving loudly with a burst of power, only to immediately cough and slow to a frustrated chug. The vehicle shudders and dips erratically, losing a little altitude each time its engines falter. Visually, you might see pixelated glitches shimmering around the edges of the car-plane, almost as if its connection to reality is unstable. Little, transparent loading circles or buffering icons might briefly appear and disappear in the air around its cockpit, suggesting data struggling to transmit. A faint, almost imperceptible "404 Not Found" might flash on a side panel. The clouds ahead seem to mock its efforts, always just out of reach. Each time the vehicle gets close enough for a wispy tendril to touch its wing, it's hit with another "lag spike" – the engines sputter, the pixelation intensifies, and it drifts downwards again, a look of digital frustration on its metaphorical face. It's caught in an endless loop of almost-there, constantly fighting an invisible, unreliable network. See more
