The little hole kinda towards the edge? That’s where they put a little plastic piece that says “Airbag”, if I recall correctly. My Xfire is sitting outside, but I’m too lazy to go check.

I’m not so sure about that painted windshield trim. This car does appear to have the silver fake air vents on the side (or maybe it’s the lighting?). The silver air vents were only on the Limited model.

Ironically, the police “chase” in this article is a terrible example because throughout the 15 minute video, no chase is occurring. It seems the Police made the wise decision to just let the Smart car go, monitor it’s travel from the air, and the catch up with it later in a much safer manner. I would say mission…

Exactly this. People act like an old, cheap car is automatically going to break and be unfixable. But in reality, a 15 year old Corolla is sure to have its issues, but since it’s an old Corolla/Civic/Sentra, parts are cheap, and you can bring it to your neighborhood mechanic and pay for just an hour or two of labor.…

It’s a shame that by doing a short review of the movie, you end spoiling it for any first time viewers. This is the kind of movie where it’s best to go in blind. You really don’t know what kind of movie it is. It appears to be a film about nothing, and then just as you’re about to turn it off and watch something more…

As someone who works in insurance, I can confirm that this is the case 9 times out of 10. It’s very rare for a normal person to crash into a building or property of any kind. Sometimes elderly people lose control and will drive into a post office or something, but it’s usually a drunk male, age 20-40, who doesn’t have…

You pointed out the biggest design flaw yourself - WHEEL WELLS. The pretty, flat roof makes the concept look nice, but in reality you’re going to have two giant indents in the roof. The design has already failed.

Not a bad article, and I’m usually a fan of your work here on Kotaku, but your memory of RE3 seems a little distorted. In the original, Nemesis’ appearances were very much scripted. There was a small amount of randomness to them, but he couldn’t just show up “at any time”. If you’ve played the game more than once,…

This right here is the important point that needs to be made. Trucks are useful tools, and modern trucks are great family cars, but in my area (NYC-Long Island), I know that almost everyone is a poser because they don’t have a tonneau cover.

Don’t be a child. Your sports car comment makes you sound like a 5-year old. You can’t just drive a Corvette to the limit on public roads because it’s not only illegal, but it endangers the safety of everyone on the road. I commend any sports car driver that I see driving the speed limit. It doesn’t matter what kind…

Why would you buy a Brand New $37k vehicle when you can comfortably drive a $8995 vehicle that’s safe, cheap to fix, and looks good too?

I’m 27 and my bank account just hit $40k last month. I have a bachelors degree and work a mid level office job. It was not easy, but it can be done.

I don’t think anyone was expecting people to buy a new Corolla cash. Used cars do exist and are quite plentiful. To give you a real world example, I own 3 cars and I do not have any payments to make. I accomplished this because my newest car is 14 years old.

I’d consider myself middle income, and I own 3 cars (2…

Exactly. Americans go into massive debt for no reason other than that they refuse to drive a 5-year-old Corolla while they save enough money for a nicer car. They would rather go bankrupt than have to be seen in a Corolla or a Kia or Hyundai. I don’t understand it either.

You’re not really presenting the scenario is a realistic manner. GAP insurance only applies when you’re upside down on the loan. You may have been in a financial situation where it worked for you, but for most people, if they need to use GAP insurance, they already ****** up. Let me explain:

If you pay $30k cash for a…

You could make your point better if you pointed out that the Corolla most definitely does not suck. People (including you, I guess) think that it sucks for some arbitrary reason. People have been driving Corolla’s for so long that in many families and cultures, the Corolla is synonymous with “car”. It’s an industry…

I’m on exactly the same page as you. I adore FF7, but most of that adoration is towards all the stuff that they’re changing for the sake of “modernization”. The blocky characters and fixed camera angles of the ‘90s gave the game a certain charm. FF7 became the epitome of the JRPG style, and IMO it certainly was a style…

I think you nailed it when you mention the “visual charm” is absent. I think this is the curse of remakes. RE2 Remake suffers from the same issue. Capcom “modernized” that game by completely changing the visuals and gameplay. After getting rid of static camera angles, they had to obviously get rid of tank controls,…

The “only” versions available were terrible looking ports? What happened to the original game that can be bought on eBay or any retro game store for $40? What about the PS1 Classic that you can buy on PSN that’s literally no different from the original game? The original FF7 never went anywhere. You can literally pop…

I totally agree with you on this one. REmake 2 is a good game, but they really half-assed the A/B scenarios. RE2 was such a large and fleshed out game. It had so much satisfying content. REmake on the other hand, wants to appear as if it has a lot of content, but it’s really very empty.
