Yeah but how's the corn industry?

God damn it I wanted to do this for Forza 4. With an E36 console.

Very nice, very creative hack! I always imagined controls like these as joysticks, but never thought to actually do it. I award you 10 points and a day off tomorrow.

I have a friend who did just that after earning a marketing degree. It's entry-level, but it really is a job.

Some do, most don't. I only said that they had a profound effect, not that they were right. In the cases I stated, I do believe there has been a positive outcome (or more positive, anyway).

Still better than Taco Bell.

Agreed. The kids who get "compassionate rehabilitation" instead of actual punishment learn that they can do something wrong and get a mild talking-to. I knew kids like that when I was a kid, and I know of kids that are like that now.

Having been an Airman in Afghanistan at one point (Bagram and Kandahar), I found that it was pretty easy to get the civil engineers to build things for morale, so long as they had the materials (like gazebos and BBQ pits, for example). This was back in 2005-2006, so I'm sure things are a bit more stringent these days.…

My redneck childhood friend lived near the woods, and his dad was usually pissed off about something or other. I heard about the "pick a switch" several times. Sorta sad, but I heard now he's a cop with a nice family. So maybe it helped. Who knows.

Obligatory. Why crazy? In reality, the kid in the M3 got away (you can see how they reuse footage to simulate him "breaking down" at the end). Plus all of the egregious nonsense spilling out of the narrator's and cops' mouths.

People do unsafe things to their car all the time, and many times they pose a danger to other cars and people. I don't think this is one of them. So long as the owner knows the risks of his "modifications", I don't see a problem.

4Chan has a pretty profound effect on people, and I believe it's ultimately positive. Hear me out:

I'm with you there on the bullying — I was a bigger soft kid with glasses and braces.

My dad always told me about the boards with "speed holes", and that I was "lucky" with the low-speed belt. Lol

Ehh maybe it was the overall tone with "So does my iPhone". Sorry about that.

Ted Nugent makes really good bison burgers. Yeah, I dig his restaurants.

Not poor car quality, but a non-intuitive infotainment system really draws away from the whole experience of owning a car. Having to use a joystick and scroll through menus to switch from the radio to GPS while you're driving is not just cumbersome for the driver, it's dangerous. Not too many people are willing to…

There's no need to bash Apple users here (yes, some are ridiculous, but this is a car forum).

Disagreed. Younger generations are endowed with more power and privilege — whether it's the comfort of social services being one phone call away with their parents or the ease of communication and social networking. Unfortunately, with all of that comes greater responsibility for oneself. Very few people had the…

I love that feature on BMWs (as this is). I was on a road trip with a full load in my E34 Touring when I stopped for gas. I told everybody to get snacks or use the restroom now, and all but one girl got out. I locked my doors from the outside (no remote) and went inside. As I'm pissing, I get a text message from the…
