Hey the online letter link is broken 

Good. I’m glad. Ubisoft makes amazing games...Far Cry 5 was an incredible experience (minus the forced main missions). But they need to take more time, make more games like Splinter Cell and be less obsessed about monetization. 

2008 TSX 5At. Picked it up CPO in 2011 after my Dad crashed my 2006 Mazda3 hatch. Loved the TSX but I bought it with almost 86K kms already on it and I don’t know if the first owner drove it hard but it needed quite a few parts changed now and then. But I drove it a lot and really enjoyed it. Traded it in in 2016 for…

Stunning car, fellow Canadian :)

Very cool!! Loved your post and your pics :)

Hell even my aunt’s auto 626 was a blast to through around corners. It barely had any power but it didn’t matter. The 2000s were all about Mazdas for me. My Aunt’s 626 and Mazda6 hatch and my Mazda3 (gen 1). Amazing amazing cars. 

Yup. My Mom gets anxious whenever some pocket rocket blasts past us on the highway usually doing close to 220kmph. Ridiculous.

Right? I fucking hate that. I’ve found ONE place which keeps the volume there and I only go there now. I know it sounds stupid and I’m not old (35) but I too want to sit down for a nice lunch after a lovely fall weather drive and just relax, chat with my companions and look at the pics everyone took at Niagara or…

But do they truly need games to be so big now? Are games today 10x better looking than games from 3-4 years ago when install sizes were 1/4th the size (throwing numbers around but just saying). 

Bingo. The “patches” these days can be many dozens of GB...even on consoles. Nowadays if a patch is 5GB on my One X, I sigh in relief. I totally understand why the game install sizes and patches are so big but very few people in the world have unlimited internet, or a lot of speed, even today. 

Agreed. My 2016 GS has all four windows-one touch and it just makes sense. We have auto collision breaking and LKS now. We can do auto touch for all windows, for Pete’s sakes. 

Totally with you on that! The concept was super hot. The Supra looks good but nah. I’ll take the Z4. 

Oh ya good point!!

Vehicles aren’t feeling good in CoD because of 1) killstreaks which BF doesn’t have and 2) everything is moving too fast in CoD compared to the real realistic speed in BF. 

I loved BF1's small maps...the no-vehicles maps like Verdun, Fort Veaux and even decent sized vehicle maps Ballroom Blitz. In 5 I still can’t find any good Conquest maps like that. Every map is far too big and takes too long to get anywhere and do anything and then you’re dead. It’s been so infuriating that it’s been…

Never has anyone earned the middle name “mother fucking” like Paul Ryan has. 

What the fuck are you talking about, motherfucker? 

YESSSSS this thing is one of my favourite things from one of my all-time favourite movies. Never knew it was based on a plane-tug! Thanks for the info. 

LOL!

This post sums up everything I love about Jalopnik (and the wider Gawker empire in general). It isn’t just stiff and dry content but casual musing, enthusiasm about random stuff...love it. And I totally agree, that thing is HOT.
