Their heritage as a musical instrument manufacturer is perhaps most evident in their logo, which is three tuning forks. Unfortunately for me the only Yamaha I own is made of brass.

They have something like this where I went to college, in Bloomington, IN. A bit more permanent, there are big chicanes that they use as a place to plant stuff. To prevent people from speeding downhill on 3rd, I think. In practice they don't provide much fun.

M3s are great cars, but not always the best 3 series. I think the E30 318iS is better than the E30 M3, personally. It's so much lighter.

I would think that something like p vs np, Riemann hypothesis, or the hodge conjecture, or even the odd perfect number would be ranked well ahead of this for "hardest puzzle ever."

I was going to say a Manxter dune buggy, but then I remembered this thing from the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. According to IMCDb,

I'm still having issues seeing images in Lynx. Hopefully this is fixed soon.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of that deal on CSN ownership.

White Sox fan here, I might be missing something but I don't think the White Sox own their own network. The games are shown on a variety of networks, which also show Cubs games, including WGN, WCIU (a local station with a small broadcasting range, unavailable as close as Rockford, 80 miles from Chicago), and…

Why, BMW's M30, of course. BMW's best engine ever, it was so good that they used it for 26 years, longer than any of their other engines. They even kept using it for race applications into the 80s, despite the lack fancy new technology like DOHC. It is bulletproof. It will live forever. It will take whatever you…

@Dukie: Those are the maximum projected values. It hasn't even begun to snow yet, we're supposed to get around 18 inches over tuesday and wednesday but I'm sure it will all end in disappointment and three inches of fluff. Much like my honeymoon.

E28s are fine in three feet of snow, I'm sure.

I love the Morgan Aero SS, but what I think might be its best aesthetic feature is also one of the hardest to find in a picture: those three wiper blades.

This is basically all I do in Forza these days.

Speaking of being mad at interns, I never did get my obama can't gymkhana stickers for suggesting a drift video. Let them stop fetching your coffee (only to have it sent back because YOU CALL THIS SEMI-SWEET? YOUR DEGREE IS WORTHLESS) long enough to mail me free shit.

I, for one, am very much looking forward to Fourza.

I would bet that some of the left out cars like the E24 will appear in other packs. We already saw the 037 enter the game as part of that Forza Ultimate thing, and some of the cars that made it fairly far in our voting but didn't quite make the cut have been added to the game in other packs as well (the Jag D-Type I…

@CobraJoe: The 037 is in the game already, it was added as part of another pack. Being cheap, I bought Forza Ultimate, used it to install the DLC stuff they stuck on the disk, and then sold it again, and I picked up the Lancia somewhere in there.

I think the shuttlecraft deserves more props than it's getting. If they were easy to make, then the prop would have been ready for the first series and the need would never have arisen to invent transporters.
