Not exactly next to your buttocks, but there are explosions going off uncomfortably close to your knee.

My dad had an 85 with the same interior but a beige paint job on it. Looked a. It cleaner than this metallic brown.

Just gotta find your riding place. For me, it’s gearing up the ‘ol Honda Trail 110 and heading up a mountainside trail.

This. I would think if you can’t drive a manual at all, it would be a chore just to get the thing going. Truck transmissions aren’t quite as easy to shift as your average Honda Civic. Then again, they probably would take a bit of abuse from grinding.

No worries! I don’t have a gaming PC or the budget for a decent one, so I’ll settle for the crumbs of the true PC sims.

My biggest problem with Forza Motorsport is Forch Feedback on my wheel. It’s too light for my taste.

The rain does look nice, but I have to wonder when they are leading off with the visuals of it’ll be the same old Forza physics model.

Well... it seems like a great deal compared to that $500k Mitsubishi 3000GT.

We have a Hot Wheels radar gun and have let the kids use it a few times. The reaction of drivers are great, but the reaction of their passengers is priceless (teasing their friend for slowing down because of a kid).

When I’m older and retired, I’ll build a full PC racing rig. For now, I have 2 kids and a mortgage, so just dipping my toes in the water.

I think that’s one thing people don’t always get with modern racing: the noise. My dad grew up in a Seattle, WA during the heyday of Hydroplayne racing and we have been to a few of the vintage races. Not much else in the world sound like 4 open-header nitrous boosted Allison V12s going full throttle over open water.…

The 250F is one of favorites to drive in Assetto across on my Xbox One. Someday, I’ll get the Th8a shifter so I can properly row the gears, but for now, my Thrustmaster wheel’s flappy paddles work.

Dad had an 85 RX7 with a 12A for a while, but it was a bit small inside for him, so he got an 88 RX7 S4 GTU with the 13B and some cool goodies like an aluminum hood, speed sensitive power steering and the turbo appearance package. It lacked a lot of the power options and the electronic suspension. We ended up…

I have 2, but one is a 3x4, so it’s a paint to use. It was a newspaper camera from the 40s. My other one is a 2x3 Century Graphic that’s all original and mint.

Pretty cool. I have a “modern” 1949 vintage Graflex Century Graphic that can shoot 120 roll film. It saves a few steps since you don’t have to load sheets of film, but it’s still a slow process.

Youbknow it’s a legend when it’s been made in miniature....

The 300 is a true beast of a motor. My ‘88 F-150 has a 300/5-speed with the 3.55 read end instead of the more common Highway 3.08s (I think they even had like 2.73s).

We never had the hatchback in the US, just sedan and 2dr notchback.

I owned one and found out after putting on the better rubber. It was still an Automatic though so it wasn’t too quick.

Are you going todo one on the Toyota ECHO? We had one , but it got totaled , so now I have a Scion XA.
