My long thing is what happened to the Civic? Like I know it’s now bigger and it’s design is mostly consequence of needing modern safety features, but the Civic IS supposed to be the cheap Honda in the US. You can’t even get into a base Civic where I’m at for under thirty large, which is just BONKERS to me. There…

Story is literally about a vehicle = Jalopnik.

This technology already exists.

Rolled on Rustoleum.

Ford: “Our second rate vehicles are absolute shit. Lets get rid of the Focus and Fiesta because they’re not pulling the profit margins we need to make our shareholders happy.”

I don’t understand people that impersonate a police officer. If you really want to be a cop that bad, why don’t you just... go through the motions of becoming a police officer or similar officer of the peace?

It shouldn’t be a requirement to live but the reality is a vehicle purchase is very much a requirement in most areas in the US, particularly where mass transit is either near non-existent (where I live) or less feasible.

Playstation originally came with a fantastic demo disc that I still have sitting among my games. It included covering most of the launch titles but also allowed you to play Wipeout, Jumping Flash, Toshinden, and ESPN Xtreme Games. For the rest it was all gameplay videos - which was a much bigger deal back then than it…

Yeah honestly the whole situation isn’t odd to me, because in the video above it’s showing everything going on from an amateur bird’s eye view. Undoubtedly there are multiple cameras pointed at the entire stop going on, and in the final product the point of wheels actually changing will either have a more detailed…

A clapped out C5 Corvette. C5s and C6s are going to be the future drift missiles.

That’s immediately what I thought.

Here’s part of the solution; I don’t understand why larger speedways still have grass verges.

It really does feel like this; something that you happen to see at GameStop for twenty or thirty buck and you’re like “Well okay then. I’ll pick it up.”

Psygnosis was just a very prolific third party publisher. Sony was very tight in with the company, which is why the Playstation got so many Psygnosis published titles.

I have long long loooonnnnnnggggg said in conversations about EV that the right thing for automakers to have done was heavily invest in hybrid ICE/EV tech. Many marques are going to much smaller engines in the predominant CUV/SUV and truck segments anyways, yet have also leaned for their models to either be heavy on…

Bethesda in 1997 published a game similar to what you are describing for DOS. It was called X-Car Experimental Racing. While you were provided a set of “template” models, every one of them could be customized however you pleased including not only engine size and cylinders but also the type of fuel the car would run.

That makes too much sense. Plus (1) most modern auto makers seem to want to tie all functionality into a bespoke screen and (2) insert-auto-maker can’t upcharge you for ‘navigation,’ when they seemingly - and conveniently - forget that pretty much every smart phone made is itself GPS enabled.

I also read this as 82% of people surveyed are complete idiots

Another seemingly short-sighted issue that getting rid of most cheap volume (and thus, typically, lower margin) vehicles is you have reduced an avenue for consumers to come into your brand. Of course no one expects a marque such as Porsche and Maserati to offer an entry level vehicle, but you really need vehicles such…

I know all big companies are like this, but Ford and it’s just blatant chains to it’s shareholders is so crazy to me because it’s like a good majority aren’t in it for the long haul but more being tied to a well-known brand.
