I had a bad feeling San Fiero and Las Venturas were being ditched, judging by the focus on Los Santos in the promotional material...
I know I should wait until the game comes out to judge, but it's just such a bummer that we're not going to be able to wreak havoc in revamped expies of San Fran' and Vegas, especially in…

Mr. Mielniczek was ThisClose to making me really happy.
All it'd need is some sort of arm mechanisms to tuck the wheels closer in to the body and push them out to have the rings fold down.

Aside from some touches like color-coding on the engine components, the fact it's a lot bigger than what I'd like to do, and that it's for a much more noble cause than lazy, oft-absent-minded people like myself, this reminds me a lot of the simple-maintenance car idea I'd been humoring.

I can't help but feel "Marty" is the perfect name for one...

Has there ever been such thing as a tongue-in-cheek styled car before?
Because if not, I think this marks the start.

I suspect most the people complaining aren't very observant, since there's clear indications the designers didn't mean for it to be taken too seriously...
Red and green lights on the roof, the "please step…

I have such fond memories of that game...
Especially since one of the power-ups was basically a hover-conversion, so naturally a kid who loves Back to the Future would love it.
Ripping the scenery apart and starting pissing contests with the alien ants was always fun, too; forgot if that was in the first or second game.

The funny thing's that wood panel styling seems to becoming pretty doable nowadays, since a German company developed a material called Arborform, which it seems most the news sites love to call "liquid wood", though it's more of a wood plastic, it seems.

Come to think, going…

Does hovering count?
Because speaking of DeLoreans...

It just bums me out that they completely hid the original plan after they cancelled it.

Seeing all this choices and the rollcages inside them reminds me of something that's bugged me:
Is it impossible to have rollcages in a car and to still allow other passengers to ride along too?
I know most the cars that are modified in such a way are hardly ever used in a way that'd require more than 2 seats, but I…

Can't help but chuckle that the family's from the same state I'm currently in- I think manuals are a bad idea in typical Western Washington traffic.
Can't help but wonder if the parents are covering their asses too, since negligent parents are common around here, and can't bother at least admitting fault after screwing…

Hmm, so scanning tech and the interest in scanning cars has been around since the 70s?
Just makes me wonder more as to why interest in using the technology for that or just plain interest in the technology itself doesn't seem as high as I'd expect after nearly 40 years.
Forgot if I've mentioned it before on here, but…

Wonder if the fact he's a millionaire has any bearing on the car's overall price...
Bet it's especially impractical as all get out in the brisk morning weather, but I could imagine how hilariously fun it is to drive something like that to college or to get a burger.
Considering I'm 6'5, I think I'd need a good dollop…

Plus you can do this to the old ones, and up the terror with the added benefit of deeply confusing whoever you nearly swipe around the downhill bend.

Hmm, sounds like a hybrid of the car-swapping mechanic in Driver San Francisco and the Lego games character-swap mechanic in a Grand Theft Auto game...

I'm not quite sure...

College isn't anything he deals with, but I'd be all for stumping the traffic by turning into the public parking complex instead of just rolling up to one of the campus' own over-priced lots.
Western Washington traffic is a very nice thing-antagonistic lot, so I'd be up for driving it down when…

While I'll likely never have to go 212 around a corner, I can't help but wonder how long it'll take for a street-legal car to be able to do the same.

Just watching it barrel towards the camera's something else enough;
Chances are it's just because I haven't ever really taken notice of Le Mans racer videos, but it's as…

Thanks for the tip- I'll have to make sure to stick around those two streets next time I'm around.

Hmm, so it was restored in 2007, and yet I've never seen it in the city...
I'm going to go nuts searching for it searching for it now, especially since I've been to that Dick's hamburgers stand.
It's rather cool that they're using it endorse restoring and feeling free to chat with the local officers, though.

Reminds me of how I was wondering how I'd do when cars finally get made with all these lightweight materials I keep hearing about...
I think I'd be too amused about the possibility of wheels mechanics at the local auto shop could play catch with on a boring day to fret about the usual belief that "lightweight= frail…

Reminds me of the shiny reflective stuff on the trophy I got for 1st place in the Pinewood Derby...
Not necessarily a bad thing, but I can't help but laugh that that's the first thing that comes to mind.

Pink and green makes me think 80s colors, though;
maybe it'd work wonders as a gaudy body accent for a 1980s sports…
