I made it 2/3 of the way through the article before it crashed and reloaded in Safari on my one year old iPhone 13 mini. In that very brief time my battery dropped from 88% to 78%, like a Tesla in Plaid mode launching, and the phone nearly caught fire. So I did not finish the article. I am commenting on a PC as to…

Nowhere in Hyundai’s statement do they mention over-rev or insinuate that he exceeded the rev limiter. Which would be the only thing they can actually damn the guy with.

Smart move. Thanks to those stupid TG events, for many years my dog would get upset if I sat down at the sim racing rig.

Constructing this list was a fools errand! But nice work overall. The bottom 3 are very hard to pick, and the top 3 could easily shift based on how much the importance of the title is weighted vs. how good of an overall game it is. But you got them about right. Those first 4 full GT titles feel like places in time to…

There’s nothing I don’t LOVE about the new Type R, except the price. The car is absolutely worth $44k. Unfortunately for 98% of people who buy one, it will cost at least $5000 more than that thanks to markups. I’d say 50% of people will be paying at least $10k over. Even historically MSRP-only dealerships are marking…

Maybe that punch the air thing was a superstitious ritual he does to keep his head gaskets intact. Paying respect to “boxer.”

I wish I could convince myself to feel the way you’re feeling. Because I can get a GR Corolla for MSRP. Civic Type R, no chance. But all I want is the Type R. Funny enough, living with my WRX for the past 8 years has diminished my feelings of AWD being important to a fun DD. And where I live gets over 100” of snow per…

They should have kept the ‘less is more’ theme going and chopped off a few turbos and a few hundred horsepower. That would have been pretty neat.

Great work, Adam. I haven’t followed eSports closely at all, including sim racing (the only one I sorta do.) GT’s whole FIA championship always struck me as odd but your article helps bring into relief how weird, GT-like and ultimately detrimental their approach really is.

I was out that way once for work and rented a bike to go hit that road (my interest was climbing it.) I ended up going for Horseshoe Meadows a little further south. What an insane HC climb. Gorgeous country. I figured it would be warm by the time I got turned around for the descent... not really, especially in the…

Weight weenies, basically a sub-hobby of cycling. Trim every gram from the bike that you can afford to. As a means of improving performance, yeah it’s a joke. Most hardcore weight weenies will admit that it’s really just for the fun of it/bragging rights. Like all other meaningless hobbies people have.

I felt the quake a comin’ when I first learned of the game in GamePro. I just figured out that was on page 48 of the May 1998 issue.

Oh no! You might have made the same mistake as me! I went and bought the CGT when I received an invite from a roulette spin just a few days before I knocked out the last couple menus… one of which netted me.. you guessed it.. the CGT. Same color even. 2 point whatever million Uber precious GT7 credits essentially down…

This doesn’t work when there is a long line of people at every dealership ready to pay MSRP or more, even if you’re first at multiple places.

Well regardless of what you want to call an agreement made before Toyota opens the actual system to put in an “order”, it will amount to nothing more than that.

I feel ya man. I’m still in the fight for a GR86. Really wish I knew what I know now back in December when I finally decided to go for it. With that knowledge, I’ll be able to get a GRC with relative ease if I want.

PSA: anyone who wants one, find 2-3 dealers in different Toyota regions nearest you that will hand shake/deposit for MSRP right now while they’re still clueless. Then hope they will actually maintain their MSRP pledge when they are able to push through a preference request (probably won’t be til well into summer.)

My now-wife, incredibly, managed to get three different manual trans cars I’ve had over the years rolling without ever stalling once! Super herky jerky usually, but she’s never stalled a car. Today, she won’t touch a stick shift unless a life depends on it haha.

This was a bit of a weak showing I think. Here’s me putting in my .02 too late per usual.

Yeah this will help me feel a little better about the 5000cr I will inevitably get for my next marathon ticket.
