Nevermind, re-read you post and realized I had taken it the wrong way, we’re agreeing. But of course can’t delete.

It would be the RS4 Avant, no?

Isn’t that what the Jetta wagon is for?

Yeah, my dream car before I got my GT3 was an R35 GT-R. Then I went and drove one, and discovered they made the baffling choice to have the point of greatest leg room not also be the point of greatest head room. This meant that either my legs fit, or my head fit, but not both at the same time. I had never really even…

I’m more surprised there wasn’t a callout to him being the cover athlete for MLB 2021

There’s a reason he’s the cover athlete for MLB 2021:

Ha ha, I mean, a used 991 costs about the same as a new Cayman (*pre COVID, maybe not now). So it’s not completely apples to oranges, depending on what you’re going for. I was basically going off “sports cars you can get reasonably for $80,000-ish that a person my height can fit in” given the cars you compared against.

The phrasing of the V6 being a “first run” edition makes me think it might be a temporary thing to clear out stock of the engines though. Will be interesting to see if it stays in the range long term.

Not fitting in a Cayman is part of the reason I drive a 911. It’s amazing how for not much larger on the outside, it’s _so_ much larger on the inside.

I mean size wise it looks about as big as a 911, which weighs ~3,200lbs at its lightest. A Cayman is a bight lighter at just under 3,000lbs. 2,500lbs is a Mazda Miata these days. You can’t really make a car this size weigh that much less with modern crash regs in that price range. Heck, even a Ferrari F8, which is a…

Yeah, this whole situation seems to really boil down to people not understanding the licensing terms of the platforms they’re releasing content on. In fairness, Nexus probably could do a better job making the license more obvious in the creation flow. When you open a public repo on Github, one of the first things it…

Left Pad was MIT licensed. It was open source. There was no IP to own there, so long as the terms of the MIT license are upheld. The dispute itself was over a package name for an unrelated project. Which the other company did in fact own a trademark to, and likely would have won in court if it had come to legal…

That’s the thing though, I can’t see why any major mod creator would _want_ to opt out. Like, right now, it’s not like a content creator can stop another content creator from “depending” on them, other than by deleting their content. And even then, there aren’t clear licensing rules here for mod release. Which means…

I mean, the Left Pad Incident pretty conclusively proved Nexus’s point about why this is required (and it’s been pretty well understood in software dependency management for a long, long time).

It’s a pretty standard requirement of any hosted package management system.

Yes, this is how basically every package management system that wants to not break all the time must work. It’s also why you can’t delete stuff, only archive, in most systems that support cross referencing between objects.

On my GT3, 1st tops out just shy of 60, second is like 85, and 3rd is north of 100, if memory serves. Less machine gun fire :p But if you’re not on the beans, yeah, it’s in 5th by 30 MPH as it upshifts at 1800 RPM.

Ha ha yeah, I wanted to pick a shop that was still independent given AMG has been so fully integrated and explaining that was complicated. Seems like MR might go the AMG route eventually though.

Most definitely it’s the later. People got really, really confused when the engine only went at two RPMs on throttle (either max torque for efficiency, or max power for acceleration). And so manufacturers programmed “gears” into them to make them behave like automatics. So now you get the strictly worse outcome of an…

1) A CVT actually has significant parasitic loss relative to a manual. An automated manual, on the other hand, doesn’t. The only penalty is weight
