I love aftermarket companies like that, that just seem like nice guys. It's definitely good advertising for them as well, so it's not entirely out of the goodness of their hearts, but still.

Half Life 3 confirmed?

As an engineer, I enjoyed the first more from a realism standpoint, and the costumes/actors/scenery/props being closer to what I got out of the books. The second however did actually follow the book's storyline much much better. I just have a little trouble with the technology/costumes used in it haha. I watch both…

That at least could be legitimized with the book, with the Baron's "tastes" haha.

Thank you for putting a picture of the original film! Even if the newer version was more true to the book, the costume department got a little out of hand (or on acid) in the new one.

Yes!! I still have mine, love that little guy. Surprised it still works flawlessly after all these years.

Yeah, but on the other hand, how much more publicity is the concept getting now because of it? Even non-automotive sources are all showing it. Not saying it was intentional, but it has a silver lining.

Can the blue hues on this graph be any closer in color, please?

Really?

'cause likely emissions and safety standards are very different.

A tip; move to Michigan, somewhere around a 60 mile radius from Detroit. 95% of every engineering job I saw/was offered was in the auto industry. Now I manage developing transfer cases for quite a few automakers :-)

This looks like a sea of scratchy plastic. I hope for their sake I am wrong.

Came here to post this, left happy.

I agree that they are not necessary... in some parts of the world. Other parts, very necessary. Some regions of countries mandate by law that you must have winter tires between certain months. And it's not due to snow not getting plowed necessarily, it also has to do with the extreme cold temperatures that can leave…

Talking about dry/wet-from-slush pavement traction.

You clearly don't understand how tires work, and how the different rubber compounds matter. Long story short, winter tire rubber stays more pliable at lower temperatures. Softer rubber grips better than harder rubber.

For a second, I was confused why you put a picture of a Camry up. WTF Subaru, I used to love you!

Not to mention the high amount of time cops sit idling with their radios+laptop+radars on would drain that battery mighty fast.

Ooo I'd forgotten entirely about that. Hopefully that works out well! I love the idea of joint venture sports cars, done properly. Where one company has a few weaknesses, find another company that excels there and combine to make an all around strong performer.
