I think people (I myself included, I know) use the quest tracking as a crutch.  I pretty much never read quest text for my expansion leveling, but if you read the text it often tells you where to go, so it’s not just aimless wandering until you find what you were supposed to kill.

I wonder what they consider the “life of the car”.  Guessing this isn’t exactly built with 100s of thousands of miles in mind.

In an interview with Jalopnik, a McLaren engineer said that an automatic was their primary choice because a manual transmission just couldn’t handle the torque produced by the 5.4-liter supercharged V8, which made 617 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque. Even by 2018 standards, that’s very impressive.

This is one of my uncle’s favorite movies and my mom always mentioned it.  I think we finally found it on DVD to give to him and we got a copy too because I was interested.  Watched it on my laptop while on a flight out to Anaheim when I was in high school.  My battery died probably 3 minutes from the end.  I plugged…

I have a similar mentality with any car, though the only issue that I can come up with for remanufacturing parts is if you have a broken one it can be hard to remake depending on how badly broken.  You can scan what’s left and get an idea, but if it’s missing chunks or something it could be more challenging.

Yeah, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a “fancy” car for your kid as much as it should be something they actually want. I think that’s probably the most important part. If it’s something they are really looking forward to or feel like they got a say in, I think it helps foster the feeling that they need to be taking…

I would agree that you probably shouldn’t buy something rougher than you would want to drive initially.  I was more talking about a car’s paint “aging” as you drive it with little scratches and chips and whatnot.  I can get lots of years of fun and use out of a car before I think the paint is so shot that I can’t…

Lol, quite true. Though I have had two girls riding in my 71 Vette at once with me on multiple occasions.  No baby making though.

I’m sure my friend who seems to be good at playing with hokey annoying characters will surely find a way to annoy my Smash Bros friends and me with this.  He has a habit of making the most annoying characters even more annoying.

Maybe she still has the protective seat and floormat covers in the car from the dealer.

I’ve got my eyes out for a new Fiat 124 when/if I have kids.  I think it would be a fun mix of nice looking, fun, but not overboard.  I think it would be something a kid would really appreciate and want to take care of (hopefully), and the limited seating means you’re only taking one friend with you, so less people to…

That’s funny, my wife has a very similar 09 Malibu.  It was given to her by a grandmother that has since passed away, so it’s got a lot of sentimental value for her.

I look at it this way, you can always restore a paint job.  Whether it be through refinishing or full on repainting, paint is there to project components with a side job of looking good.  Scratches are no big deal unless they can rust.  Fortunately I tend to have composite bodied vehicles, so I worry even less.  I…

First, bigger and heavier cars are far safer for their occupants. Second, electronic stability control is also handy for an inexperienced driver.

I think part of the issue with the PS1 is the fact that is was a landmark and sort of the first 3D system out there.  Tons of games got their start on that system, so it’s nearly impossible to pick just a handful and have everyone satisfied.  The catalog for it isn’t nearly as large as the PS2, but it’s still like…

So another thought I had while reading this: do you think it’s possible that some stores would also not want to sell a premium car (at least for a while) because it can help draw in customers? Basically the halo car approach. Have the fully optioned top of the line car at the store for people to come gawk at, then try…

I’m in the middle of a huge landmass, I’m okay for quite some time at least. /sarcasm

The Viper isn’t a unibody...

Mentioning Rare just makes me think they should put Bond or Oddjob and Jaws in the game.  Karate chops for all!  Their ultimate smash could be the golden gun too.

That’s an interesting thing I never would have thought about.  I wonder how many people with newer vehicles with advanced stability control that uses the brakes to more or less torque vector the car end up wearing out brakes faster.  I suppose if you take the right lines you wouldn’t, but if people are just flat…
