I built up a decent collection of 8-bit machines and cartridges when they were turning up for pennies at thrift stores in the mid-1990s through early 2000s but never had the good fortune to come across a Vetrex.

Driving backwards was one of the first things I tried in any racing game:

If you make your browser window narrower, it will switch over to the single page mobile version around 600px wide.

I would love to be able to work from home one or two days a week when things return to normal again. 

Yay! Cheap gas.

Woo hoo! I am the one percent!

Try and tell me someone didn’t spend hours tweaking the exact angle of that retaining wall in BeamNG trying to find the perfect launch angle.

All those loose, worn tolerances inside the engine gave the expanding ice somewhere to escape rather than cracking the block.

I believe you’re actually correct. My understanding is the early CAD stuff being designed in the mid to late 1970s were boxy and plane-y because that’s all the fluid modeling sims could handle at the time. The 1983 Thunderbird got all swoopy which was a big deal because they could model some curves now.

Those are alright because: they’re chrome and not trying to hide; you just stick your fingers in them and pull in one simple motion. Their operation is intuitive.

I dislike the concept of shaving door handles in general.

Well, that is just lovely.

That’s the beauty of the trunk mounted car seat - you can just hose off the trunk lid. Hell, a good high speed run will blow all the crap right off anyway. Melted crayons will peel right up...

They’re probably gonna want goggles to keep the bugs out of their eyes.

What’s the issue with babies?

Whelp, I’ve seen the face of god. This is my religion now. How does one go about signing over all their worldly possessions to GANfield Bot?

Yep, big difference between amortizing development and tooling costs over hundreds of thousands, if not millions of units (and probably sharing major assemblies with other FWD stablemates spreading costs around even further) vs. a few tens of thousands of units on a bespoke platform with a bespoke drivetrain.

I wanted to recommend a LaCrosse but I didn’t want to be the guy who always cries “Buick!” in these things so thanks for taking the hit this time.

Something important this ad casually illustrates is how the definition of “sports car” has evolved. Here the Spyder is the “ultra sporting car” and the coupe, with its closed roof cutting you off from the expansive panoramic sporting experience and probably adding extra weight with that extra piece of sheetmetal over…

I’m having a hard time focusing on the content of that Bosch video with that P1800 stealing the scene.
