Dinan says only custom software built from scratch will work in the future.

^ This is how Volkswagen is fixing its 1.6L units, along with the reflash. A simple plastic bit that creates laminar airflow over the MAF.

In addition to the tiny screen size, the font is an awful Apple IIe approximation, and the screen is slightly curved.

And it was glitched Power Armor, to boot — it never wore down, never needed repairing. I think they said they accidentally gave it the 1,000,000 HP or so that it had during the DLC portion. It wasn’t ever meant to be nearly invincible in the main game, but it was.

I made the mistake of going in through the top door and somehow pulling the whole factory at once. Going in downstairs allowed me to kite raiders through tight passages, where I just one-shotted ‘em all with that laser musket.

On XB1, there’s a popup that says: “Y: Attach Wire” when you’re standing next to the machine. That was the easy part for me to figure out.

How about nothing but a picture of Ballaban’s concerned face?

For the most part, don’t all grille components have to be made of plastic nowadays? Crash protection and whatnot.

The real-world embodiment of your opinions expressed here can be seen at StanceWorks’ main site. They cover everything — stanced cars, vintage racers, supercars, you name it. As long as somebody puts their heart and soul into building a car, they’ll cover it. They sponsored a Time Attack 911 for a bit.

This guy just straight-up ripped off Rusty Slammington. Down to the gold elements of the wheels. :\

Is the license plate DL-5490? If so, that’s the one I had.

Fun fact: Every picture with a small FMU watermark? I took it. I also wrote the blog for three years, ran the social media, and occasionally drove the cars. It was my first job connected to cars, and it got my foot in the door in a major way. Oh, I also did the video, so I apologize for the lack of E90 M3 content;

The S65’s redline was plenty high as it was.

Because, like an asshole, I never took a good enough video of the car when I worked there. Regrets, I have a few.

Complete custom velocity stack with above-mounted water-meth injection. We never ran the meth on the street; couldn’t get the spray patterns how we wanted, but it was a fun exercise in what a 2D CNC machine can do. Those guys were wizards when it came to conceiving some cool shit.

I worked for them, and took all the pictures during that time. Jalopnik ran the pics after my blog post. I guess I picked a bad time to show it off to the world, being only partially complete (blame the meth company for not providing all the nozzles in the same pack).

Aw, I feel like I’m the only person that likes the Dymags. Carbon fiber barrels, man, come on!

After driving this for a whole weekend, no car has ever sounded as good. Many have come close, but WOT with open velocity stacks is a visceral experience you can’t reproduce in any factory car, nevertheless after adding a proper free-flowing exhaust to it:

H2Oi and SoWo are just scene-kid circlejerks. The majority of these asscracks lack any respect for either the police or the town that’s nice enough to host these prepubescent twatmongers. They treat the place like a Bacchanalian orgy and leave the cleanup to the residents.

The Lexus LS. It’s the calm, clear stream of cars. Looks, feels, and drives gentle.
