The first single from NWFT was The Running Free - a generic sort of a rock song, similar to this one in that way. Not indicative of the whole album though, I’ve got faith :)

That must have been amazing, I’d kill to have been around that long ago

Hardly noteworthy. Back then it was much harder to differentiate between car and truck. And America have produced barely any cars in this style.

Damn right. You can get a ute with a ‘Vette engine. I thought people knew this since Top Gear showed it off this season...

How did he crash that? He wasn’t wrestling some mid-engined exotic. He was driving a FWD Accord on the highway.

This. Or maybe the 90s. GTA was always best poking fun at a past era. Making fun of the present can feel forced very easily.

I’m not sure you can get much more ‘Murican than an Elco. In fact, I’m not sure any other countries even offer a vehicle in car/pick up format.

I have those same memories from playing the demo over and over and over again.

I’d argue it’s not even really his fault. He had a good line, the corner has a trap in it. Probably a common occurrence on a rally, but still a pretty shitty thing to come across.

I think this rumor is absurd.

A number of people have corrected me on this. They’re all right, I’m a fool

So in that case you would say it’s “only there to improve efficiency”.

It’s a real shame. I’m sure it’s a very nice car, in a vacuum. But it doesn’t live in a vacuum, it lives in a world with some very strong competitors.

The added hybrid system is only there to boost power and improve efficiency

There was an interview on here with one of the producers a few weeks ago. They basically said that it was a bad idea and put them in real danger, iirc. It may have been played up a little, but it was real enough that Americans should be a bit embarrassed.

Was this car ever actually a Toyota Camry?

There are some new ones on that link as well :P And of course there are a ton for sale here. They come close to 30K. Could probably get one for $30k USD ;) The point is, dealerships here are full of them

Hah! I should’ve known, dammit. It sounded NA-enough to me.

Oh man, that video’s got it all. The meaty NA engine, the manual shifts, the oppo. In a world of flappy-paddle-turbocharged-efficient etcetera, there’s not enough of this going around

Scion came out with a weird box thing, and Honda came out with a weird box thing, and then Nissan came out with a weird box thing that looked like a balloon animal.
