All I can see is that trailer hitch and wonder what they towed with it. Also, the fiero owned, gently caress anyone who disagrees.

We've got a semi-regular customer who had one on his farm he was tinkering with. He was a tad bit surprised to see us find a generator for it in under 5 minutes. :haw:

Also, I wonder if a president would still be allowed to do a track day or something. Ideally a road rally with a secret service agent acting as co-driver. And when they hit the horn while going over crests, the battle hymn of the republic plays!

The LS and LT motors laugh in the face of fancy dohc motors. :colbert:

Edit: Also holy gently caress, why would anyone willingly buy a 3 valve mod motor? When there are over $1000 in tools just for all the different ways you can have a spark plug change gently caress up, thats the point I say no.

Because he rents a house in a National Trust neighborhood, which exists solely for people to come and appreciate the view. If I bought land in front of a scenic overview, or a monument, and built a wall in front of it to ruin the view, I'd be a dick, too. Buying THAT car was a dick move that he was completely within his rights to do.

But anyway, he now has a grey car so apparently that's un-garish enough to have alleviated the problem.

Edit: I'm curious where everyone else in the neighborhood parks their cars.

And thats really an excuse for him to have the windows smashed out of his car and have move carved into the hood? The man bought a car in a fun and interesting color. He should be applauded, not loving vandilized.

An all black GN or GNX still manages to have a respectable street presence through sheer malevolence. We've got 2 GNs, A turbo t-type and a true GNX here in town. All in black and they most definately grab your attention and hold it. Its not supposed to be pretty, its an underground pit fighter and it excells at that.

Technically we pinched green from the Irish, both to commemorate the relevant 1903 race being held there, and because all our flag's constituent colours had been claimed by someone else.

Actually, red was originally America's colour.

Yeah, then we got stuck with dark blue with white stripes and the italians took our glorious red. You thought us invading them first in ww2 was some big tactical thing? Nah, we just wanted to kick their rear end for taking red race cars from us.

They also made the rifles for the japanese military iirc. I really want one after finding that out.

Also, the company is named for mr matsuda (sic?), not the zoroastrian god. However given zoroastrianism is generally accepted to be where we got our concept of heaven and hell, it does seem appropriate. When it works, they're heavenly. When they break, fixing them is hell.

Bugatti was smugging about the chiron doing 0-400kmph-0 in 42 seconds. Christian von Konigsegg did it in 36 seconds with 2/3rds the power. Every time bugatti smugs about something, konigsegg punches then in the dick.

Its a combination of how sideways you can get/ how long you can hold it, while maintaining a certain line through the corner with someone trying to hang his nose 3" from your door as he chases you. And then turning right around and doing it with the other guy leading. Its trying to perfectly control something that is normally uncontrolled. Its a ballet in the middle of a car crash.

Wonder what Bugatti is doing

Being very quiet since lately every time they brag about a record, Koenigsegg pokes them in the eye. They bragged about doing 0-400-0 in 40 someodd seconds in mid september on their fancy test track. 2 weeks later Koenigsegg did it on a decommissioned runway in crappy shape in the mid 30s. Bugatti stopped bragging about that spec immediately after. :v:

The forzathon events in game hand out cars, credits and wheelspins like crazy, then the wheelspins hand out even more cars and credits. Making creds really isn't hard end game if you're running races regularly. I've been slowly buying up most of the horizon edition cars in the game, I think I've got 2/3rds of them at this point. What I've spent on the popular ones probably could have bought a pacer x at this point tbh. I've beaten most of the main game and am slowly working my way through the expansions while working out tuning stuff and trying to make a tune that goes against the conventional (in game/online) wisdom of anything dedicated to goin' fast must have awd. Shaving 10-15 seconds off a lap time by fixing up a tune is fun. (Even if it is goliath and takes ~12 seconds in the cars I'm running.)

I'm a big loving nerd so if I'm just building a gently caress around car I'll use the actual ratios from a T56 and real-life rear end options. My Nova SS in FM6 had a 3.42:1 rear and close-ratio T56 gears.

Its ok, the FC Turbo IIs I made in horizon 3 all use the trans ratios from a S2 RX-8 and the diff ratio from a S1 RX-8. 3 of the 4 FCs in my garage use that (the exception is the twerk stallion which is t56 and s5 turbo II numbers) and the FD does as well. :v:
