So in your opinion, what is the breakover point where we can stop wearing masks in public?  Because it seems like based on your criteria we should all wear masks forever.

Yep.  My car is somewhat quick, but I quickly realized that there is no benefit to racing anyone on the street.  The best possible outcome is you prove what everyone already knows or expects, that your car is faster/slower than the other.  There are numerous bad outcomes, including arrest, crashing, the other guy…

I think the key point here is that there was no corner.  He lost it in a straight line.  In a manual.  The only way I can imagine that happening is a serious case of “foot on floor, can’t pick it up”.

My response would probably be the same. I’d chuckle and call the person who put them there a tool. Then I’d take them off.

Ok, hundreds of millions.  Better?

Well then I’m at least 2 chuckles ahead of you in the last 6 months.

Or, alternatively, invest that $50k for the next 5-10 years instead.  If the Roadster never comes out, they’ll just give you your $50k back, which at that point will probably only be worth $30k thanks to inflation.

I can just see Tesla 6 years from now.

But then you wouldn’t have a Tesla Roadster!

Not sure I agree on that. What’s harder to get:

I don’t think anybody cares about the people giving up 5-10 years of interest on $50k, that’s their stupid decision. We just see how much of a scam it is, and it bugs us that people let Tesla get away with it when nobody else does. I know it’s an outdated concept, but some people expect car companies to make money on…

I think you may have a misunderstanding of how the whole process works, but that’s OK. My guess would be that Sony sells less than 10% of PS5s direct. The other 90%+ are released to the wild where it’s up to retailers how they want to sell them. They’re the ones who are choosing to sell them online-only, not Sony.

Pretty funny all around. While I know the president typically has little to no effect on gas prices, I do chuckle whenever I see one of these on a gas pump.

Yes, wider cars are faster, but even if they were narrower they would still be way too fast for the pace car. Especially one that is 5 seconds per lap slower than the normal one. That’s really the issue here, the normal pace car is I suppose barely quick enough to keep their tires warm, and 5 seconds per lap makes a…

Well that’s terrifying.  Have you tried deleting the entire game and reinstalling?

I genuinely believe it was a screw-up on their part, not malice. They clearly had the higher-paying events ready to go, or at least were working on them, and were probably not expecting people to blow through the launch content so quickly. The economy is just throwing money at me at this point, but it was admittedly…

I lucked out and got the Carrera GT after completing the Porsche menu book, which was probably the main new car I wanted.  It doesn’t sound quite as nasty as the real life car, but it’s pretty good.  Maybe I should throw a racing exhaust on it and see how it sounds.

Yep.  I blazed through the licenses, took my time with the Menu books, and saved my money until I was done with them so I wouldn’t buy something that I could end up getting for free.  Now I’ve just got 2/3 of the circuit experience left and the new endurance races, and have started buying any cars that interest me and…

You’re really trying to blame the lack of available PS5 stock on Sony? They’re producing as many as they possibly can, and even offering some of them on a lottery basis as direct sales to try to prevent scalpers and script kiddies from getting all of them.

I thought “oh, cool, let’s see if I recognize any of the bands playing”.  Not only was that a resounding “no”, but I now realize that it’s likely none of them would even be referred to as “bands”.
