I used to think that. But I’ve come to realize lately that silver and white look amazing on cars with very clean designs. And they accentuate body lines better than other colors because they create more contrast with shadows.

I know things like buttons and dials have a huge cost to car manufacturers. Is this whole tablet trend a cost-cutting method of design, now that they could glue a shitty $80 Android tablet on the dash and wire it to certain functions?

There’s a balance between functionality, ergonomics, visual appeal, and ease of use.

It is boxy, not swoopy. Therefore it is good.

I play about 50/50 personally and some of the xbone games I play are remasters like the master Chief collection. Would be playing even more if they could reactivate the servers for some of the older games.

Oh I’m not letting this thing go anywhere until an evora or nsx or something enters the picture! I did get myself a cheap daily- a ‘99 CR-V manual that makes me super happy and makes the S feel even more sporty in comparison.

As a youngish person whose dream car is an early 90s NSX, I have come to realize that by the time I could afford one at current prices they will have appreciated to insane levels. They will also be old enough that they will need tons of TLC and not really be dailyable due to mechanical reasons (don’t care about…

This is a key selling point for me. A lot of new games have gotten so generic-feeling that I find myself playing old games a lot. Xbox’s success with back compat reflects this.

Can you get COTD off yesterday’s COTD article?

Ill give you that for sure. But A) it was more of a shocking reveal to leave moviegoers hanging whether or not they knew how he was back, and B) Solo is almost EU content in my book since it isn't one of the numbered episodes. The plot is entirely independent of the central films' plot and simply adds to the universe…

You are exactly right. The movies are written to satisfy the general public, the widest fan base possible. The EU stuff, including the games, shows, encyclopedias about starships, and comics are written for true hardcore nerd fans. The EU content is an expansion of the movies, thus “extended universe.” It connects the…

I posted a story above and just had to replace my clutch at 80k (I’ve owned it for about 20k)

Was letting my best friend, who is reasonably new at stick and doesn’t drive often, drive my 2007 AP2. I was egging him on and told him to shift 5th-4th at highway speed to pass someone... and he found 2nd by accident. I girl-screamed as I saw the revs shoot up and the car wiggled, and he put the clutch in immediately…

I think the golf/Jetta family get uglier every update since the mk6. That one had the most perfect curves and lines. Now the hood is more condensed and squared off in weird ways, and the rear view looks like.it once had good proportions until they squished it downward from the decklid. Everything looks too stretched…

I miss my mk6. I had 6 people in it once with one guy in the trunk and everyone was fine for a little jaunt across town. But it's always hilarious to feel the difference of putting 7 people in a car that small!

As the other thing to consider is the additional cargo space with the seats folded. For me, that more than makes up for the 2in of legroom for passengers. I had a GTI for 5yrs and everyone was always impressed with the comfort and space. 90% of your time in a car will be solo driving to work anyway.

Im SO ready for the next album to drop!

Apex/pubg/fortnite, cod/moh/bf/r6/any multiplayer shooter, Forza/rr/gt, horizon/nfs.

Good Lord. That is a lot of buttons around that shifter. Earlier in the article I was ready to praise BMW for cleaning up the center console areas beneath the screen, but that looks like those Porsche interiors from a few years back that were just a strip of 500 buttons down each side. It’s less convenient and less…

That’s absolutely awesome! It definitely sounds like that guy found his forever car.
