By the second episode I was getting a heavy American Chopper vibe; not a good thing, since that show was the epitome, to me, of car/enthusiast television being far too damn dramatic. The already covered ‘Check out my sleeper...with the blatantly obvious mods and complete lack of subtlety’ certainly didn’t help.

I didn’t have a dashcam at the time so no footage for this one, but my ‘11 Challenger (the SRT 392 model, for those curious) was in for an oil change a few years ago. I’m out with family while it’s at the dealer and I get a call from my cousin, asking “Why are you doing burnouts in the Big Y parking lot?” You can see…

As an (admittedly lucky) kid, I would get to fly out to New Mexico every year during summer vacation to spend some time with my grandparents. Much like myself, they were from New England originally, both forced to move somewhere with drier air and no humidity to ease my grandfather’s “coal miner’s lung.” She liked to…

Man, remember when Musk joined Trump’s little cabal and claimed he’d be able to set him straight on things? The same one he left not long after because he couldn’t get through to someone who had no intention of ever listening in the first place? I sure remember that.

Says a lot about the car that, even with a pastel blue Lambo behind it in one of those photos, I still longed for the Subaru. If these stories from Japan have taught me anything, it’s that you don’t really know what kind of cars you’ll happen to see cruising about. Sounds like a fun place.

I applaud the idea of taking one of these cars out for a good cause, but I have a concern about Autosource themselves having checked their site (Assuming I checked the right one of course).

Between bugs like this, most usually resolved by shooting the quest giver or restarting a checkpoint, and the FORCED story progression, I’m about done with the game completely. Even avoiding the bugs puts me in the same loop:

Neighbor had an Express for years. He was the first to say that it wasn’t as fast as you might think, but it always put a smile on his face whenever he drove it. Seemed like a ringing endorsement to me.

Thank you very much for the info! I know it may defeat the purpose of the car a bit, especially fitted to an “R” version of the GT350, but it’s nice to know it’s an option at the very least.

Breaking News!

Sorry for making you my new authority on this, but, by any chance, do you know if it’s possible to get the GT350 without those Recaro seats? Asking for a fat friend...alright, it’s me.

Alright, truth time: I’m too fat to fit in the Recaro seats. They don’t so much conform to my body as they assault my cheeks. I discovered this during a visit to a local dealer which had a new GT350 you could actually get near and sit in (GASP!)...that was also $10k over invoice because of course it fucking was.

Iron Man sealed the deal on the R8 for me. Well, the dream of one at least. The purchase, well, that’s a few more lifetimes away.

This new Aviator does look nice, but it’s surely gonna be out of my price range. Assuming it remains close to this design, I can at least take solace in the image of someone in a Range Rover thinking they’re seeing a fellow one next to them, only to realize it’s a Lincoln instead. That smile comes for free.

Wasn’t the whole point of the Ascent to be the new big model for Subaru? Why are they making the one (in range) step down from it bigger? Seems like that kind of cuts into it’s own market a bit. Then again, people will buy them for whatever reason, so it makes business sense I suppose.

Very true. I’m starting to wonder about their age actually: Usually, as you get older, you’re supposed to, you know, use complete thoughts instead of strings of vulgarity. Also a fan of them avoiding my point about their own statements to get all defensive and change the topic. Classic troll behavior.

I’m happy to hear that the gameplay itself seems to have evolved a bit, but hearing that it fails to do anything with it’s setting, once again, means I’ll have to pass.

I’m not buying into how having 15 random years of track experience (or anything else for that matter) allows you to stroll on in and shout at everyone for being petulant or “first world” while acting entitled yourself.

The best car I’ve ever owned was my ‘91 Dodge Spirit.

Alright, I don’t want to be that guy, but here we go...
