But claiming that engine family was wasted is a bit of a stretch, given how many of these they punched out and sold worldwide.

Depending on the car, you’ll notice the difference in rigidity on the street. C5 Corvettes in particular. When you go over an uneven section of pavement, you can feel and hear the rear bulkhead behind the seats flexing and wobbling. 

I have a pair of Series III Bose 901's from 1974, and this is absolutely  true. I want to find a way to pair them with tweeters. 

So my impression after finishing the main campaign is “Gameplay great, story shite”. As someone who’s very much into the lore, the campaign was a massive disappointment. It’s clear that Bungie had to stuff Strand SOMEHWERE, and it was probably supposed to be Witch Queen. It just feels too shoehorned in, and the…

Hopefully that Sony acquisition really does some good for Bungie in the resources department. Playstation Studios has some heavy hitting devs. I’d love to see Guerilla Games step in to help with environment and level design. 

This should have been a feature a long time ago. Lock what you want to keep, select multiple, then delete. 

I’m only a couple of missions in, and unlike others, I’m enjoying the slightly more lighthearted Marvel-esque writing. Some criticized that it feels like a slightly campy 80's movie, and for me that’s a feature, not a bug. I get the feeling like Lightfall isn’t meant to be the climax, but The Final Shape will be.

Also the sheer number of Death Walls and Kill Zones in a city that’s supposed to be all about verticality is just ridiculous. The EDZ and Nessus let you climb higher than you can in most of Neomuna’s zones.

When you look at the options on the current Mustang, just adding the Sync system with the bigger screen pushes the base Ecoboost up to the same price of this new one. There’s really no price hike, they’re just including more equipment as standard. In some ways, the new one is actually a better deal. I think the GT is…

Also, this new Mustang has a LOT more standard equipment over the outgoing model. A base Ecoboost S550 is a pretty barebones affair inside. Once you add the Sync system to the current model, the price is about the same. 

My cousin and I were just having this discussion about Horizon: Forbidden West. The Black character’s facial features are on point, but the hair choices are just weird. Non-Black folks probably didn’t notice anything off, but it jumped out at us that with the exception of Varl, the Black character’s hairstyles are…

Side note, remember those Pyrex pots that were the hotness back in the 90's? I remember my aunt trying to make Kraft mac and cheese in one, and as the noodles were boiling, the whole thing shattered. 

That’s what I heard to. The reasoning being the stuff manufactured for the US was the tempered glass, and the stuff for Europe was borosilicate. I never dug deeper on that particular subject. 

The automatic transmission suggestion is kind of dumb. With the exception of CVTs, modern auto transmissions are better in every way outside of driver engagement, which only enthusiasts care about. With performance cars, the limits are getting so high now that a manual trans is a hazard. Let the computer sort it out.…

Yep, memory seats are the shit. The only reason I stopped using mine is because even though my wife is 6" shorter than me, our seating positions are almost identical. We just adjust the rear-view mirror and nudge the seat slightly forward or backward. 

Well implemented auto stop/start systems are great, but that usually requires a 48 volt electrical architecture or a mild hybrid setup, which I believe most Jags have. It uses a belt-integrated starter-generator/alternator, which IIRC is more powerful than a traditional starter motor, and makes for a smoother start.…

Yeah, I love these, but anything that’s body related is gonna be a pain to source. Mechanically, shouldn’t be a problem though. 

No, the expansions are all piecemeal. BUT I would recommend picking up Beyond Light if you’re on PlayStation and have the higher tier PS Plus memberships, as the expansion is free. 

Every mid-engined V8 Ferrari after the 458 has been a disappointment. They’re objectively good, but they’ve lost some of that Maranello Magic. The V12 GT cars just keep getting better though. And the Roma is just hot garbage because of the interior.

I also had a B5 Passat with a tan interior. It was a lovely car, but GODDAMN was it hard to clean. I wish VW still made their cars with such nice interiors. I’d probably still have one today. They cheaped out for the American market.
