That parking brake works exactly the same way as on my C4 Corvette. Seems like it was designed by someone in the ‘high intelligence, low wisdom’ category.

I can understand your opinion of the DBS. For me there’s just a few too many extra vents and stuff. But to each their own.

The more I look at my C4 against newer vettes, the more I appreciate how *low* that nose is. The new vettes, especially the C7, do a good job of hiding it, but they actually have a quite tall grill. Damn safety regs.

I think it’s super sexy.

Yeah, you totally are using the functionality of saving to be able to go back when you screw up. That’s why it’s there, rather than something like XCOM’s Ironman mode where everything is permanent.

I do agree with you, carrying on when units die is certainly more difficult than restarting and getting that ‘perfect’ run of the mission. I guess there’s 3 different difficulties in ways to play, no permadeath, permadeath with restarts, or ‘ironman’.

The results of this poll are interesting, but are also exactly what I was expecting.

Not exactly. Resetting the game when you get a death is still accepting the higher difficulty of permadeath, in a way. Because that means that your success state for a mission also includes ‘no deaths’. With no permadeath, you can let your weaklings die every mission and still keep on truckin’ happily.

For the price it’s absolutely fantastic

I do winter TSD rallies. Every time I do there’s at least one novice team that shows up with a completely unsuitable car, be it too low or with all-season tires.

The new Fusion Sport gets some extra pampering, receiving custom dampening technology shared with the Lincoln MKZ, an anti-roll bar system ...

I have one! You can come drive it if you make your way to Vancouver. Come during the summer, we can go to an autocross.

Haven’t they really just inserted a couple commas into their slogan from before? Now it’s the “Ultimate, driving, machine”.

If I remember correctly, Diesel in a Gas car just gums things up a bit. Gas in a Diesel car, on the other hand, is where things get explody.

Clarkson drives the Aventador in Series 18, episode 1, when Hammond drives the Noble M600 and May is in the MP4-12C for an Italy road trip.

I have a 13” LED lightbar, 2 LED Spotlights (behind the lower grill in the pic, hard to see), and Xenon bulbs in the ‘fog’ lights on the PajEvo.

In my totally unbiased opinion the DOHC LT5 from the C4 ZR-1 is a pretty good looker for a relatively high production engine modern engine. Love that intake manifold.

Because it’s “the best” 3-series and it was on for a good deal, undoubtedly. The fact that it’s a high performance car which might have things like brake pads that squeak if you only ever use them lightly is irrelevant.

Sounds like yet another case of “I want a BMW 3 series. The best one. Wait, why is this performance car so uncomfortable?” Drives me crazy.

While I agree that new cars have beltlines too high, it isn’t where the headrest lines up that’s the problem - it’s how big the rest of the car is in comparison. Look at where the headrest to beltline is on the 2015 camaro vs a C4 corvette:
