Pretty much.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. Track costs aren't the expensive part of either autocrossing or HPDEs. I can hit any number of tracks in my area (Northwest) for pretty cheaply- $125 for a full day, with "teacher" riding shotgun if I want- on track with 4 roughly 30 minute sessions. They even include…

Incidentally, most of the DB7's interior looked like it was a 90's rental.

I'm glad they're putting such a green data center in Oregon!

Yeah, safari's compass must be a shoutout to Netscape Navigator or something. I never understood that at all.

"Flywire is typically made with nylon and Vectran fibers, which is sturdy enough for everyday use but not nearly as strong as Kevlar."

I'm going to assume that you are living in an alternate universe and somehow crossed over into ours for this post, or that you don't actually watch TV.

I actually saw one of these on the road last Friday.

One counterpoint I'd make would be in MW1. You, as the player, actually die more than once in that game. If you don't get the sense- from getting shot in the intro, getting nuked in the middle, and then watching as all your squad mates get put down in the final scene on the bridge- that war is fucked up? I think you…

Ahhhhhhhh my eyes! lol.

Yeah, you really wouldn't want to see an org chart of how they all connect, I'm sure.

A few things:

Engines are supposed to separate in the event of a severe crash these days, aren't they?

That's what I was thinking- we have terrible drivers on the major highways, but get onto the backroads, of which there are plenty, and you're set. I've driven in a lot of places, and I'd pretty happily bump Montana or Detroit in favor of Washington. We've got it all here.

Man, if they're gonna go for the close ups on faces like they just did, they seriously need a new engine. All I could think while they were looking at his face was how terrible it looked, but that could just be me.

I'm sure it will go a long ways to test drive one, that's my first priority. Unless there is a HUGE cost difference, I want to make sure I really enjoy driving the car, and the way it feels is pretty big when it comes to whether you enjoy it.

I was referring to handling and steering feel, hence my use of a non-technical term. It's a subjective thing, but when I was looking at the speed 3 and the WRX, the WRX had boaty handling, and it was not nearly as responsive to steering inputs as the Mazda was. It's a combo of suspension, steering ratio, and tires,…

Well, you have to consider that this is the internet, so complaining and hypocrisy are the two main ingredients.

Shhhh don't tell anyone! :)

Truck transmission and crappy interior are certainly downsides. Let's not forget that the WRX also starts more expensive than the MS3 and Focus.
