Ah man, The Craft. 90's Fairuza Balk. What an era.

For what it’s worth, Burnout has been under the EA umbrella since 2004. Only the first two games were Acclaim.

Other than the oil leaks in the valve cover, oil filter housing, and oil pan that every N55 will have, the car itself is the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned.

You have never driven a 90's Dodge, This is pretty nice

All the better to be able to press them with your thickly gloved hands in Scandinavia.

I’ve been sim racing for the past 13 years. I used a G25 first for 5 years, then upgraded to a G27 which I’ve now had for the past 8 years.

I started sim racing with Live For Speed on my old ThinkPad T40 and Gran Turismo, and have added countless sims to my roster since those days including iRacing, Assetto Corsa,…

Best movie soundtrack ever. Bar none.

there’s one in every car, you’ll see

Was singing this riff the moment I read the OP. Classic flick. Awesome soundtrack.

Now the girls would turn the color of an avocado

I can say we are collectively proud of you, but the journey was just as entertaining for us.

The way I’ve been living isn’t sustainable, let’s be real.

Five years of great fun, though! Definitely lived the dream buying every car I ever wanted (I know, I have cheap taste), road-tripping, wrenching, etc etc.

Oof.  That wood trim is a full-on eye assault.
