I think your numbers are a little light, but the overall point is valid.. at best this is 10K worth of hardware wrapped up in someone’s high mileage project car. And let’s be honest after the novelty of drag racing a few confused Mustang owners at a traffic light wears off you’re not exactly left with much.

The best part about all of these videos is the inevitable crowd of dudes that circle the scene with their hands in their pockets and yell out a bunch of ‘expert’ advice generally punctuated by “Dude” and “Bro”..

120K and it took a few months to build.. really it’s more of a small ocean-going canoe.

Yeah it’s not a bad thing to hold off and wait for a sale.. TBH though, if you like the concept of the game as it is now presented there are some good moments to be had.. you might find it worth the money.

It’s not bad for a prequel/origin story.. but the original Joe Danger had a better story and some real character development - I’d pick that up if you can find it.

yeah I don’t disagree at all.. you’re probably right.. It just seems to me that the Switch basically launched with a single game that’s more or less identical in presentation to the Wii U... Of course no one bought the Wii U, so this is more or less an upgrade from the Wii for a lot of people.

yeah good point.. Alternately, I wonder what would have happened if Nintendo would have just kept it as a Wii U title, waited to launch the Switch until next year and bundled a remastered version of Breath of the Wild with it then..

The Dreamcast was, at the time, positioned as the first of a new generation of consoles with significantly better capabilities and the alternative to Playstation. Obviously xbox took over that role in the market.

I was kind of hoping for another zebra livery for testing

yes.. I think Haas is using them for the chasis design.. that was the story when they first entered F1 anyway.

in addition to joining up with the discord (the one from the subreddit) and going through the myriad of youtube guides and series, i’d recommend this;

agreed.. the Williams looks pretty amazing in that Martini livery.

well clearly more horsepower is the cure for driveshaft problems at the dragstrip.

I like how the RCA devices are displayed on top of -what appear to be - carpeted scratching posts.

Not sure if this really counts as the ‘early days’.. but before we had a bunch of cores, multi processor machines were definitely a thing.

I had a truly terrifying experience in a rental-spec Mazda 2 (automatic of course.. mated to what felt like a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine with a clogged fuel filter).. Attempting to merge onto the highway near Chicago with poor visibility and quite a bit of rain was not exactly a ‘zoom zoom’ moment.

There are still modern day crap boxes being produced (mostly everywhere besides in the US).. But this new breed of low-end Seat, Dacia, Renault etc.. is different. They’re reliable and have luxury options for some reason.

I’d have gone down the crazy rabbit hole on this if the builder would have just gone ahead and finished off the bottle of lamp oil he was drinking at the time this idea popped into his head and tried to make this into a rally car..

Here’s a slightly used ‘16 Range Rover that someone’s glued a bunch of plastic bits too and is now asking double the MSRP of a new one...

I saw this one too.. it IS a beautiful restoration.. really lovely inside and out.. but 160K??! come on.
