Damn, fast never looked so... ugly.

The one I posted above probably had similar "accidents" on its past. I checked its history online before buying, and the previous owners had been ticketed for everything between speeding and driving with body parts hanging out of the car. I didn't even know you could be ticketed for that, but there it is. Considering…

Have they sorted out the problem of it being painfully slow?

Nope, and nope...

Na verdade, o meu Fiat foi importado da Itália mesmo... O modelo chegou a ser fabricado no Brasil em 1996 e 1997, mas só na versão 1.6, e o meu é um 2.0 Sedicivalvole. Se fosse um dos modelos brasileiros, não sei se tinha durado 20 anos.

A small italian Hatchback, actually. It probably has crash protection in the form of crumple zones, but when the front end is made of thin steel and the back of fiberglass panels, I wouldn't count much on it. It also has no airbags, no bulky side impact bracers, no elevated frontal area... The top of the hood sits…

It's a box alright, just not very econo hahaha...

More like fiberglass panels :p

Mine has yet to die on me, it's the same Pioneer unit that came with the car in 1995. It has, get this, a fully integrated CD player! Not many cars had that in Brazil back in 1995!

The perks of owning a 20 years old car, I guess. But it's such a good car I actually went and bought a second one two months ago.

Well, it's definitely a way to look at it :p

My daily has none of these... I'm officially in the past!

Instead of keeping the race under control in case of an accident, BMW is aiming to reduce accidents in the first place. Riders will be extra careful on the track, lest they summon the "safety" car.

Oh yeah, I should also mention that I've been a fan of Driver since before there was a GTA III, so that's the angle I'm coming from when playing GTA or any other "action-driving" games.

I only played them last year, on one of those crazy Steam sales, not back when they were new, so... :p

Eh, I dunno... The whole parody and social commentary on GTA are deft as fuck. I crawled through the three 3D era games looking for it, and the game was at its most fun when there was none to be found, on GTA 3 to be more precise. Yeah, GTA 3 was fun, VC and SA were just annoying.

I'm calling NP, though, to be honest, I might actually prefer a car like this with a front bench seat and a lazy automatic that gets you wheel spin on low speeds.

Wallpaper of the Day?

I'm so glad this exists. Remember that Tumblr, "Ki Jong Il looks at things"? This is just like it, but better, because these tweets have a context in and of themselves. He's not retweeting someone, he's not replying to someone, he's not talking to someone, he's just shooting his thoughts into the dark void of the…

If I had the Money, I wouldn't think twice about bidding. Then I'd daily drive it and prove, once and for all, that Money does buy happiness.
