This couldn’t happen if he had a brain.

I posted this as a reply to someone else’s comment, but I am going to copy it as a reply in the hopes of seeing if anyone else has had the same experience. Like many commenters, I could not disagree more strongly about the full leather Recaros. I would never get an ST without the ST3 package (or an RS without the RS2…

225 pounds here, and they fit me like a glove.

I think that there is more to it than just break-in, at least depending on your personal physiology. I find that if I just sit down and start driving, I am really not set into the seat properly — my lower back is not quite making firm contact, so my spine is at an angle to the seat. It is not really the bolsters…

I barely get 23, but I drive a company car for work, so most of my personal driving is knocking around the neighborhood, such as a 3 mile drive to the gym in the morning & back again. Terrible for mileage, especially if you take those six miles a trifle aggressively. Next time I do any extended highway driving, I need…

Love ‘em. Actually, they can be genuinely useful even under normal driving conditions at night. There are plenty of roads around me with no lighting on cross streets that I need to turn into, and at night, especially when the pavement is wet, you really cannot even see the road itself, and just have to trust the…

Boy oh boy, I have not seen that one in decades, and completely forgot about it. Thank you for making my week!!!!

Thank you for highlighting that office fight, which is indeed one of the best in the series, though I would compare it more to the train fight in From Russia with Love or the satellite dish fight in Goldeneye. Like those two fights, it is very direct and brutal, and surprisingly believable for a Bond film as…

Kid & Wint are arguably the only interesting element in that entire movie, outside of of the Shirley Bassey title song. There was a time that YOLT was my least favorite Bond film, though over the years I have softened to it a bit, and I ranked DAF a bit higher. Now, DAF is absolutely on the rock bottom of my personal…

No, but it is better that way. There are some plot developments in SS2 that are more meaningful to someone who played the first one.

On a quick play test last night, no. To avoid that stretching you have to pick a non-widescreen ratio. A bit disappointing, but it would have required some significant recoding to give true widescreen. I am playing it in a non-widescreen ratio, and frankly it is just fine that way.

I downloaded it yesterday and fired it up to see how well it works, and ended up playing it for quite a bit. The new controls are quite playable as is, though depending on your play style, they can certainly be improved by remapping. Never bothered last night, though, and did not have any problems. Inventory is still…

Back in the Eighties while I was still in high school, I had a friend who drove his parent’s Ford Econoline van. Old-school “three on the tree” type. Not sure what it had in it, but it did have some decent power, and he was a less than inhibited driver.

“So, then, what do you believe in?”

“No, we pinstripe them on the truck.”

“Didn’t bother reading because it only make sthings worse.”

Best. Popemobile. Ever.

I was lusting after a Molten Orange Fiesta ST, which I ultimately rejected due to it simply being too small to be comfortable for me, so I opted for a Tangerine Scream Focus ST instead. I briefly toyed with looking at a Fiat, but quickly rejected it after deciding that the Fiesta was already too small.

The fact not mentioned frequently enough in reference to the film is that it is a fairly explicit homage to Hawksian professionalism. Frankenheimer had teased at similar themes in The Train (shame on you for not correctly identifying that as his best film!) by showing the details of just how good Burt Lancaster is at…
