Reminds me of Project Cars.

Also the GTR. It’s sorta doing the same thing, zombie-ing on.

Didn’t old school Top-Gear do a segment on this where they said it was complete rubbish to drive? Maybe if was Tiff? At least one other place I read that the big, high-up engine out back made it a bit harrowing to control.

My biggest issue driving a RHD car was banging my head on the window when I went to start it. Apparently I duck my head pretty far to the right to make solid visual contact with the key hole before inserting key and firing up. In RHD car, bonk.

This was a big deal to me, point 2. The physics of things moving at relativistic speeds say that even accelerating something like an x-wing up to near light speed will give it kinetic energy equivalent to a million nuclear warheads. Like, upon impact with another, let’s say bigger ship, the entirety of the x-wing’s

I never realized how massive this place is. They need to add some landmark features to make it easier to pass the time. For heavens sake. Giant inflatable dinosaurs, a bubbling volcano. Palm trees, something. I’d never make it a full lap around the place.

1. Holy crap I didn’t know about Netflix Castlevania, thank you

Maybe it was best that you missed him that’s day.

Pretty sure they didn’t even have to brake for T1 on that first lap.

If I ever do it, it’s because I’d like a little extra room. Especially with little kids at a table, you need to clear their space as soon as possible once they’re done. I’m not waiting for anyone to do that for me.

Sarcasm. That’s what I think of the $180,000 Supra.

I would call a starting price under 50k semi-affordable. I think they’ll shoot for that but you’ll never find one for much less than 60.

Most realistic, wow. I suppose the next Nissan Z will be $100,000 and JDM only, too. Best to sell as few as possible, keep it exclusive.

I was thinking the same thing, my anecdotal experience doesn’t match up. Myself and several of my friends had hand me downs and we kept them immaculate (polished turds for sure, but still.) I knew guys who bought cars and destroyed them. It’s all down to the person. Probably some correlation but not the rule.

Oh wow, I read this whole article assuming it was written by Torch until I read this post.

No. Think more along the lines of Crosstrek = CX-3, Forester = CX-5, Outback = jacked up 6, Ascent = CX-9.

If Mazda’s felt like selling a bunch of cars in the US, they need only jack up a 6 wagon by five inches or so, plaster it with rugged looking cladding and call it something off-roadey.

Now playing

Am I the only guy who feels like the proliferation of these psycho monster cars has caused drifting to become unrelatable and uninteresting? Formula Drift is quite the spectacle but I get no charm out of it.

My WRX’s programmable multi-function display thing in center console resets to defaults when there’s a temperature swing to cooler temps. Usually from 40’s to 30’s but really any 10+ degree swing south. Park it warm, start it cool and it’s reset. Annoying.

Driving any other wheels except the ones which were originally powered would multiply the cost of the project, so replacing the original engine with an electric motor is the way to go to keep it simple. Using 3 small motors to achieve that vs. one or two bigger ones is a matter of balancing a bunch of technical
