Son, I am disappoint.

I've had a crisis!

Shouldn't the VW have a little Nazi doll?

My 1964 Oldsmobile has the same system with the transmission fluid running through the radiator, and it hasn't had any issues in 47 years. Nissan just needs better radiator design.

Big 60's American cars. They're cheap, easy to work on, chick magnets, and there's nothing better than scaring the shit out of 7 co-eds by unexpectedly drifting every corner on campus.

Any car with four-wheel drum brakes.

Nuka break!

It's better they try to make an interesting racing game rather than one which you progress through Skylines and whatnot. I don't own GT5, but still think it's a cool touch. They can have a little fun, can't they?

And is there a problem with that?

That is one of my dream cars, no joke. Just wish someone could make a kit version...
