For all the shit Toyota gets about the new Z4 -ehm, I mean Supra- I think it’s important to acknowledge that they actually bothered to go through with it (something I suspect we have to thank Akio for). They could have simply chosen to pump out another crossover and make another billion dollars. Instead they chose to…

The wheels are better sure, but that car is still a huge nope in my opinion. I just couldn’t take that over a regular Century.

I agree with you, the GRMN Century is a far better look.

Ertefa sounds interesting. I haven’t gone to something like that since the 90s. They used to gather all the fast modded cars at the end of an industrial dead end street after midnight, block the incoming road with parked cars about a half mile away, and drag race for hours. Nobody brought booze or guns or drugs. They w…

Shitty analogy, because an air show has planned flying in addition to static displays.

Then go to a fucking racetrack or autocross. Don’t do that shit on an uncontrolled street.

People ruin everything. Something new pops up, is really awesome, gains traction with the casuals, still really fun, then eventually gets overwhelmed by the general population and jackasses start showing up and acting out. Goes for bars, music festivals, car shows, racing series, pickup sports, you name it.

Once any car-related gathering reaches Peak Moron the show’s over. 

Or they could have a burnout contest for those of that like burnouts.

That is a horrible story. Poor Ollie. I hope the idiot in the mustang only carried liability insurance. I hope he has to make payments on that mustang for a while while driving a Kia Forte because thats all he can afford while paying off the non-existant mustang 

Can a free and open event exist without morons eventually turning up and ruining it?

To me this doesn’t feel like the “Cars and Coffee” I used to go to 10 or even 5 years ago. This is no longer a casual and quiet get-together of car lovers to check out each others’ rides while having coffee early in the morning on a Saturday. Over the past years, like you wrote, it has morphed into a massive social…

You missed to cover another Cars & Coffee-type event where a Mustang collided with an Escalade, which resulted in the Escalade driver’s dog exiting the vehicle after the wreck right into traffic, that ultimately killed the dog.

Idk, it’s entirely possible it’s legit. I work in sales and visit customers all the time, as such the company provides a monthly allowance + mileage. The gotcha is the car must be 5 years old or newer and it must have four doors. If you don’t comply you forfeit the allowance and more than likely your boss will want to…

Hmm, that’s true, that there was that too, but I guess I don’t remember it as widespread enough to be something for the trailer (the PS4 release one) and the game to hang on the 90s to paranoia, at least not in the flavor this game is going for. I went to Times Square that year, actually, my one time, and was just a…

Definitely. This was an era of punks, posers, and edgelords. This kind of hipster required the digital revolution, which was still another decade off, to occur in order for their counter culture to take form.

I played the demo of it a few months ago and it was so BAD.

Your comment about “the house you wished you’d grown up in” hit me hard, man. I had those feelings growing up, too. I used to look at our junker cars and my little shoebox of a house and wonder what it was like for kids who had desks and bookcases and space. Since those things cost money, we were limited to a dresser…

The fact that he looks and sounds like an insufferable late aughts’ hipster is definitely at odds with the era the game is set in.

It doesn’t help that Alex is a young twenty something who thinks he has interesting ideas about stuff because he took a few courses on philosophy while getting his degree.
