Also? it’s like the only game I can remember that had its own separate Designer’s Republic designed album full of some absolutely amazing techno. This game (and album) was my first introduction to so much great music. I’m pretty sure I still have the CD in my basement. 

I think they’d look slightly better if they used matte or satin black instead of gloss, so they blended with the tires more.  But yeah, cool wheels.

It is not like automakers can pick and choose which chips are in short supply, is it? If a car design needs a particular chip in this or that module, and it is in short supply, then it cannot be made, that’s it. You cannot just pick some different chip from another model. Some are interchangeable due to standarization…

Not looking thru a Slideshow

Let’s see.... The worst pandemic in a century, made obscenely worse by Donald keeping his pathologically lying empty skull buried in the sand during all of 2020, has thrown the global economy to go into a shitstorm. Duh.

FCA producing a cool dead ender concept car with no chance of productions has felt like Lucy with a football for a while now.

You can always take the wheels off and paint the brake calipers yourself in the driveway. /s

the longest engine swap is currently being performed by my husband, who is apparently planning on taking 42 eons to swap the engine in his Fairmont

You are trying to find a closely spec’ed competitor but in real life people with 150k have already made their mind on what they want (it’s not always a similar 0-60 or lap times) and nobody shortlists the new NSX because as I mentioned above, it has nothing compelling going for it. In short, people forgot it was…

I think you are mis-remembering things. The original NSX came out in 1990 with a NA 3.0 l 270 hp engine (as you said). As a comparison, a 1990 Porsche 911 with 3.6 l NA flat six made 247 hp, a Z28 Camaro with a 5.0 l V8 made 210 hp, a 1990 US MR2 with the NA 2.2 l I4 made 130 hp, the turbo 2.0l made 200 hp, and my…

Two problems with it:

The original NSX was the budget Ferrari killer. This new incarnation carried Ferrari price but nowhere near Ferrari specs.

Doesn’t surprise me one iota. There’s no reason to get one, the car isn’t special. The drivetrain is easy to confuse with a dozen competitors, and the brand doesn’t hold enough prestige to warrant buying it for that name alone, so your biggest two groups who would drop six figures on a sports car - enthusiasts and…

European parking garages are already so compact, eventually the entire Continent is going to end up trapped in their vehicles, forced to climb out the sunroof! In Switzerland if you want to drive into virtually any town your only option is usually a tight entrance into a tight underground garage where you’ll then have…

I wish the rest of the world would realize that hatches and station wagons are the best of both worlds. Lots of cargo space, better handling/snappier driving both because of less mass and lower center of gravity.

One, electric hot hatches will be cool.

I love F1, for the past 50 years. But, I still have a conscience.

So how has F1, MotoGP and FIFA sanctioning events here moved the needle on civil rights? Remember, both parties said that their events should be seen to shine a light for change and not an endorsement of the status quo.  Where are we at on that?

Where’s the Volvo?

I need to change clothes today.  I need my Fuck Cancer shirt.  Because Fuck Cancer.
