Some type or function of a full autonomous driving vehicle would be a god-send on really long trips. I used to be able to drive upwards of twelve to thirteen hour days. However nowadays I struggle to get anywhere near eight. There are plenty of stretches of highway and interstate I’ve driven where I absolutely wish…

Here’s my issue with a lot of what is going on regarding new & used cars sales, supply chain issues, and anything related therein.

Any of the graphical advances aside, the mouse look support is for myself one of the biggest improvements. The look function in the original Dark Forces is excruciatingly terrible. You have to do this little thing where you look up or down first, then rely mostly on minor auto-aim adjustments to land your shot.…

I know someone that owns a Fox body Mustang GT that lives in Tokyo. You want to talk about something that gets absurdly taxed it’s his car. Not only is the yearly tax something around $650 US a year but his parking is ~$300-ish something, and he has to leave it virtually unmodified sans folding mirrors and some…

I rented a Pacifica hybrid van recently and the all-electric range was very nice. I’ve never experienced a vehicle like this. On a full charge with the battery regen I could get around ~40 miles on battery only - from a big van. When I got to where I was going, every single day I plugged the van in and every single…

Interestingly, Tanoue fears that this hunger for exporting might actually drain the Japanese market. The late ‘90s and early 2000s were something of a golden era for JDM special editions.

You’d be correct on that. The New Edge Mustang in V6 guise didn’t have the little Us for the GT model’s exhaust, so it likely made sense from an aesthetic standpoint when the exhaust isn’t coming out of the rear on a Cobra R to use the V6's rear fascia.

I’ve owned/still own a 2011 Fiesta with the DSP6 that I purchased new. I’m a huge cheapskate and bought it because after everything was said and done the total purchase price was right around $15,000 including fees and sales tax, which made it one of the cheapest four door hatchbacks - at the time - on the market.

As someone who dailies an Ingot Silver ‘11 Fiesta hatch (it’s super cheap transportation that’s long paid for), I... absolutely cannot imagine driving this thing. A normal Fiesta is already pretty squished feeling as it is.

You don’t obscure your plate while you drive so why would you do so in photos?

A friend of mine went with me to my last trip to Japan prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, and I had to explain Buddhism to her. I didn’t warn her prior that both Shinto and Buddhism reside often in conjunction in many major places of Japan. We walked by quite a handful of Buddhist temples on the trip.

Here’s been my issue with the entire NFS franchise throughout the years; it’s never been completely sure what sort of genre-racing title it slots into. Overall it’s leaned heavily on a strong arcade-feel, yet it also has attempted to sometimes be a serious grand cruising -type game (NFS 1-3), semi-serious racer (Shift…

Yep. A good deal of Japanese market titles also carried some reliance on the Saturn’s internal clock, setting the console apart somewhat from the Playstation.

The issue is Mario. The Mario franchise on the N64 showed how well a 3D Mario game - and platformers in general - could be, and ever since Mario games have evolved and leveraged it’s strengths into enjoyable entries with each 3D installment.

I’m sorry ahead of time, but I’m not carrying the same vibe most critics have that this car is a better looker than the outgoing Type R.

The Corvette faithful should immediately realize there’s nothing strange about this car.

This is because for roughly the past thirty years or so most Japanese intellectual properties are seen as an overarching way to sell goods.

I’ve driven a four door Ford Fiesta hatchback for the past eleven years daily. That’s with a wife that doesn’t drive (By choice. It doesn’t bother me.) and two kids. We’ve made it work.

lol Tesla investors suddenly surprised their stock isn’t worth what they had hoped it was and may continue to drop/never recover when Tesla CEO Musk for years has repeatedly said that Tesla’s stock price is over priced.

I can possibly answer this for you, as a fan.
