Still disappointed there’s no hatchback. Honestly, though...that mechanical LSD. Just put that in the Sport hatchback. I don’t even need the 25 HP if you really don’t want to give it to me.

I made a cold air intake out of PVC pipe. ‘Nuff said.

He’s never going to make it to Jericho if he drives like that...

The thrust of the argument is that, barring someone randomly inviting you to a game, the only guaranteed way to play is to run yourself and convince others to play. In addition to being the newest, 5e is also going to be the easiest for beginning DMs.

That’s awesome. I still want a Celica once I have space for a project car...either a 7th gen GT-S, a 4th gen GT-S, a 3rd gen GT-S or Supra, or maybe an AllTrac if I came into some fuck-you money.

I’m not sure the Celicas are either...I can’t find any that someone would possibly call “clean”. The ricer tax is strong on both models.

No one seems to remember that the curb weight for the 7th gen Celica hovered around 2400 pounds. It was about 300 pounds lighter than the RSX-S and that counted for quite a bit, even with a 20 horsepower deficiency.

“Millennials are a subscription-based culture” seems like excuse-making for “consulting firms have no better/smarter way to explain the fact that people with less money tend to be payment shoppers.”

Why would a poser spend so much money on something that no one will be able to see unless they walk up to the car and squint?

The reason to write it is so that when Alfa fails, people say “man, looks like reliability is important” rather than “see? Nobody cares about performance and driving experience”.

$35k before incentives is about $3000 less than the Bolt. That may not be enough considering the range deficit, but if the interior of the car is bigger and it’s not a Chevy...

From what I’ve seen, startups don’t seem to have any consistent competence in hiring anyone other than software developers.

It’s relevant, because “Dvorak is so much faster you guys” and “0-60 times are so pointless” are equally obnoxious internet arguments.

No, Boyle’s Law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature. Therefore, increasing pressure at constant volume must increase temperature.

If he’s still a Miata fan but practicality is an issue, I’d say buy an E82. You can go 128i for more Miata-esque balance or 135i for boost. The big thing is that the E82 just barely steps over that size threshold where a car is suddenly actually usable, something the 86/FR-S/BRZ doesn’t do (and I bought an E82 almost

I knew that looked familiar...

Corvette is an interesting comparison...because a 2017 Corvette is 200 lbs lighter, 130hp richer, and (adjusted for inflation) $5000 cheaper than a 1998 Supra Turbo.

Minor point...the Supra was lighter than current V8 Camaros and Mustangs by about 200 pounds. The pony cars are definitely cheaper though. All said, an E82 135i has about the same power/weight ratio as a Supra, in about the same size package...the only thing it’s missing is the reliability.

Since everyone mentions D&D in contexts like these, I think it would be the right place to recommend the game Fiasco. While players have characters somewhat similar to D&D, the game centers around improv and storytelling rather than game mechanics. Most importantly for many people who can’t easily play tabletop RPGs,
