My personal favorite was the group of people that came up with Cat & Mouse in Project Gotham Racing 2. The physics worked out just right that playing that unofficial mode on Xbox live was some of the best online gameplay I’ve ever experienced. They made it an official mode in PGR3, but it was never the same.

First - Brake Job on a 225k mile 2004 GMC Canyon. You have to pull the whole hub to replace the rotors from the back side. After 5 years of rust around the opening, it took approximately 6 hours to break both of the fronts loose and get the job done. Second - Spark Plugs on a 1997 Camaro. NEVER. AGAIN.

Yeah, we didn’t either. She dealt with it until it was time for a new car. I had a bigger 9-5 Wagon that we used the majority of the time when we went out, but when it came time for a replacement, fitting that seat easier was paramount. We went to the regional auto show with the car seat on a removable base, and…

Maybe not a Suburban, but everyone wants to upgrade to something bigger when they have a kid. My wife wanted something small but easier to fit a car seat in than her Saab 9-3 sedan. Damn near impossible to fit those ginormous things in anything smaller than an Escape/CR-V/Rav4/Equinox. Her Renegade was barely enough…

I live nearby the house that “The Conjuring” is based on. Every Halloween they have to deal with the paranormal people wandering around their house in the dark like it’s no big deal. I really feel for the owners. They had no idea what they were getting into.

NOOOOOOOO. I love the Taylor boys in their dads car. I hate to see them split up, but I hate it even more that he’s not going to be driving that Cadillac.

Christ man, you can find any pile of crap GM to tear into for half of nothing. That is a fully operational, regular, every day driver. Use that to get around, and destroy something that has no destination other than a junkyard.

This is why I’m asking the question. You know the first guy that dies driving one of these will be doing something stupid like that. Is there a safe guard against it but into the system?

Can confirm. I’ve usually given up on football season by now. The fact that I have to actually pay attention this far into the season is confusing and scary.

Ok, stupid question. What’s going to stop me from putting my phone up on top of that hump above the gauges with Netflix on to trick the camera?

Most everything David owns would qualify for a Lemons race.

But, this one is part of a top secret, triple classified, highly encrypted project that I’m working on with one of my loonier coworkers.

$500k a year isn’t scraps. Look at guys playing AAA baseball, getting 30k a year. Some stick around year in and year out to do something they love.

The guy is out of touch with reality. There are plenty of veterans in the sports he listed making veteran minimum salaries.

This is EA we’re talking about.

I love what you’ve done with that thing. I’m just too hard on cars and too busy with 800 thousand other things to keep them looking that good.

Thought about a 4-door Astra brand new. I had liked my previous Saturn (SC-1) and hated the Ion (outside of the Red Line). They were asking over $20k and this thing couldn’t get out of it’s own way. Spartan interior, just overall a very disappointing car. Left with a 3 year old Saab 9-5 for $5000 less. I still miss…

There are entirely too many symbols and letters on those buttons. This is a TVR, no one should know what anything does inside that car!

Blew a hole in a transmission of a Ford Escape trying to off-road it.

Engine cost is a factor, sure. But how about standard parts becoming more prevalent? Make the cars equal. They did that with the trunk lid and hood. Why not all the body parts? It’s starting to go in that direction, but aerodynamics and suspension setups are just as crucial to a race team.
