Ugh this video clip was frustrating on so many levels. Busted windshield, following too close, oblivious to the very real chance that the driver could kill himself and his passenger by bravely (stupidly) continuing to follow the dump truck, failing to stop and see the the truck driver needs help (or anybody else for…

I’ve never been big on wood accents beyond a Royals Royce but damn, that interior is just pure sex. It’s just so tastefully done that I really can’t find a way to better describe how that interior makes me feel. Truly, a breath taking interior.

I think that is an appropriate way for any Eclipse to end. Glad you made it out alright! Bowling ball too.

I sympathize with you on that 94 Eclipse. Had a ‘92 myself for a commuter. Turbo of course. The only car I owned an extended warranty for and I definitely got my money’s worth. The engine exploded spectacularly...on three separate occasions after very extensive and expensive repairs. Was fun back in the day but soured…

I bought a new 2016 XLT Supercrew with the 2.7 engine and sport package. It stickered at 48k with all the options, but I walked out the door paying only 33k (I did put 3k down myself, so 36k with Ford incentives/discounts).

Sounds like a solid line up! 

You know, I’m going to take your advice on that. We’ve only been to Vegas to either gamble and relax for a night, run a Ragnar race (and see little of actual Vegas during the madness) or pass through on the way to California but I would love a few days to actually explore things a bit. Thanks again!

I didn’t know such a museum existed in Vegas. Next time the wife and I visit, we will totally go check it out. Thanks!

I was one of the lucky ones on Amazon.co.uk. Lasted around 50 minutes that day. To be fair, they and the German site had a few more rounds of pre-orders since that first day.

I was one of the lucky ones to secure a pre-order on Amazon.co.uk when their pre-orders were up for about 50 minutes when the SNES mini was announced a few weeks back.

This isn’t new or recent, not by a long shot. I first noticed it as a kid in the 90s with The Simpsons. Some episodes, I noticed the music and talking was just ever so slightly faster. Then other shows on Fox started doing the same thing. This crap has been going on for ages and probably much longer than that.

I omitted the Mustang purely for sake of space. We’ve thread jacked this one to hell and back :)

The first thing I noticed is that this rendition of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 was a bit strangely paced and not quite right and I thought maybe it was just a bad performance but then I started to wonder if its a public license version that is intentionally slightly altered from the original I know so well thanks to…

Seriously, was Terry Crews not available? Terry would have been perfect!

I’ve had a number of Nissans over the years so I’m familiar with their interiors but the 350Z was particularly lack luster even though I did want one when the first came out.

One follow up side note. The ST, though well built and I had no issues, it feels like everything on the RS is just a bit better assembled and solid feeling.

To give you a bit of history regarding previous ownership on just the more performance oriented cars, I had an 08 WRX hatchback, then an 08 STi hatchback, a 2012 VW GTI (which is one of the most fun cars I’ve ever owned and solidly built), a 2015 Mustang (smashed by a falling tree sadly), a 2014 Focus ST and finally,…

I agree, that third pedal and shifter makes all the difference in the world. Even just using a basic Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 wheel/pedal combo with Forza is immeasurably more fun than with a controller.

I’m a huge racing fan. Ever since Pole position in the early 80s. Honestly, now that I can actually afford nice things, I really should just invest in a high quality wheel/pedal setup with a shifter.

Thank you! I enjoy a variety of games and simulators. Might have to give this or Euro ones a peak. Starting to wish more and more I had a steering/pedal setup for the PC. Only have one for the Xbox one. If that one had PC drivers, I’d be set but alas, nobody has written any that I’ve found.
