It’s not necessarily about which one is more safe, it’s that hazard lights exist for a specific set of circumstances and are legislated as such. If the government wanted to mandate some sort of more visible light for rainy or foggy weather that would be fine, but hazard lights exist to identify another vehicle as a…

Nope. There is always a speed differential, especially in heavy spray conditions where some people slow down excessively while others do not. Cars already have tail lights that make them visible from plenty far away assuming you’ve turned your lights on like you’re supposed to. At some point either due to closing…

This.  Why this guy thinks he needs a go fund me is beyond me.  I also don’t buy that he put a new engine in a, what, 6 or 7 year old Subaru?  The Tesla was almost certainly well-insured, being a rental, so I have no clue why this guy needs cash from strangers to fix something that should be covered by insurance. …

Uh, I’m not sure about how California works, but this would be covered by the other driver’s insurance, not his. You contact your insurance company, tell them what happened and the other person’s insurance information, then your company cuts you a check and sues their company for the balance. At worst, you file…

Please don’t. It’s incredibly confusing to come up on flashers in heavy spray. You don’t know if you should slam on the brakes because of an accident or stopped car, or if you should just keep going because it’s someone who just wants to be “more visible”. What you’re doing is conditioning people to ignore hazards,…

Good point, but I’m even less likely to buy a Nissan than a Renault.

Kind of hard to do when they don’t sell cars here.  I guess I’ll continue to... not buy them.

How long do we think this moment will last before the rhetoric changes from MUSA expertise to overseas production efficiency, or however else the inevitable outsourcing will be pitched? This is GM we’re talking about, after all.

I’m not sure why the results were “weird”.  The cars, engines, wheels, and tires are all completely new this year.  Other than engineering and driver talent, why would you expect results to fall in line with last year?  Haas seems to have genuine pace, and Mercedes’ power unit is clearly bottom-tier at the moment,…

Nah, I think this falls into one of those things someone made up while looking for trouble.  Inscrutable is a perfectly legitimate word.  Just because someone may have used it to describe someone else’s lacking English skills does not make the word not racist or offensive.

The California Stop. It’s a misnomer in that its identifying characteristic is that no actual stop is ever performed

Georgia is people who turn their hazards on when it rains.  I had never seen it until I moved here, and it’s caught me out a few times in heavy rain where suddenly hazards appear in front of you on the highway and your brain panics thinking “oh crap, is there a stopped car directly in front of me!?”.  Then you realize…

They’ve got the VIN, they can pull up the registration that way. Plates just make it easier to identify the car from a distance, no need if you have the VIN in your possession.

Yeah, I’m on a G29 and my experience is similar to yours. On GT Sport (and in real life) the steering gets lighter as the rear steps out, and it naturally turns in the direction of the slide requiring only small adjustments. It seems that’s just plain missing from GT7 until the car’s already past the point of no…

Referring to something that is difficult to make sense of as “inscrutable” is now racist? What other perfectly apt words are we not allowed to use? Is “apt” ok, or should I be careful about where I use it?

I agree the snap oversteer seems a little aggressive, but I think it’s compounded by really weird force feedback (if you have a wheel).  It was much easier to “feel” and catch a slide in GT Sport.  It feels more like the wheel is fighting against you in this game without giving you the correct feedback.

I never even said I was annoyed, I just don’t understand the appeal.  I realize this strikes a chord with you, but I don’t think we’re ever going to understand each other’s opinions so let’s just call it different strokes and leave it at that.

Why is a reward even necessary?  Just to save someone the trouble of having to subpoena the rental records based off of the license plate?

You’re probably right, and if that’s what he’s going for then the car prices and payouts are probably OK in a vacuum.  The issue is that tuning cars is ridiculously expensive too, so that eats up way too much budget towards buying something expensive.  Between the tuning costs and car costs, payouts need to go up…

Right.  Honestly I have no problem with the tuning prices and car prices being inflated, the pricing of them in the older games never made sense anyway.  The issue is they took those two steps, then never went back and said “wait, how are people going to pay for all this stuff?”
