But still, those Coffee Break challenges can go fuck themselves.

I came across my old PS2 when I was quarantine-cleaning in the garage yesterday - it’s gonna be GT4 wall-to-wall for me now! I even found the cartridges with all my old saved game profiles.

Thanks!

Some of my best memories are behind the wheel of this beast. Botswana, South Africa, Namibia for 4 weeks:

Dymaxion, duh. I thought you guys were the experts on all that stuff.
