Yup, I've been meaning to pick up RF2 for a while now (although truth be told, I don't really have the time to play, or the space for the wheel setup.) I had bought the original rFactor some time ago and had a blast with it. McLaren F1 GTR on the 'ring in the rain! So. Much. Fun.

5) Make the races longer.

It's like watching the automotive equivalent of a bunch of mostly blind, slightly demented octogenarians being forced to do laps around their nursing home.

Oh, common-sense and economics have nothing to do with it. The Protege is my first car. It's a labor of love, so to speak.

Until the cost of the next replacement part I have to buy exceeds the value of the whole car.

You've never seen the time-out dolls before? Just go to any classic car show in the US and you'll be greeted by at least one or two of the damned things.

I see it as 4chan's SCCA-day out.

"So, what does this do?"

Oh, I'm sure we'll hoon the crap out of it, once it's drivable again. It's a car after all, not a museum piece. We will be avoiding running it into any trash cans, though.

Anyone who comes to a car show and puts one of these things against the display. FUCK, they are creepy, to the point where I don't even want to approach a vehicle which has one stuck against it.

Y'know, my spouse has a poor '89 S13 sitting at the in-laws house under a tarp. The poor thing has had a long and eventful life so far, culminating in an accident which tweaked the frame.

*sigh* I love you Mazda, I really do. I'm even fond of the Nagare styling, which spawned the Furai and added wonderful details to my '09 Miata. But gawd, you were really aiming for a sleepfest with the 6 refresh. Mercifully, the renewed KODO styling has put this redesign out to pasture.

Engineer 1: "There, we've finished it. A damned good city car, I'd say."

Oh, yes. If I ever come to power, every grade-school bus will be a Cat bus.

This is what happens when you have a bunch of aerobatic RC helo pilots mixing with cars — you can't do your usual loops and barrel rolls without expecting a little ground contact here and there.

Despite the occasional lost false teeth and popped hip, Angus Sr.'s new about-the-community-getter proved very popular with the local folk. Sadly, after an unfortunate incident resulting in the messy loss of Gramma Abigail's colostomy bag, the staff was left with no choice but to exile the ride.

Especially if he sliced a tire. No doubt it'd tee him off.

*shrug* To each their own. The ad did get 56+million views and is ranked the most shared ad in Youtube and SB history, so I guess it must have appealed to some people.

I'm not sure if this was a Super Bowl commercial, but I definitely enjoyed it. Clever.
