I think I was a bit careless with my pronouns. I was at Adenau for a week, but despite a rather frightening spin at Schwedenkreuz, I didn’t crash or end up at the hospital. (That’s why I’m really glad.)

I’m really glad I learned this today, rather than three years ago, when I was there for a week.

On top of that, he also questioned the number of Chevrolets “in the middle of Berlin.”

I think I just kept clicking on older and older F40 stories at the bottom of articles.

At the top of the list, for me, was to drive the Nürburgring. I almost had a chance all the way back in 1999, but I couldn’t get everything lined up.

It’s strange, but of the ABC cars, desirability seems to be inversely related to performance. From what I’ve heard, the Cappuccino is the fastest, and the AZ-1 the slowest, but most people seem to prefer the AZ-1 over the Beat, and the Beat over the Cappuccino. (I agree with the majority in this case.)

Everywhere I’ve been in Europe, the default speed limit away from the cities is 130 km/h (81 MPH). Virginia would consider that reckless driving. Now, the extent to which drivers followed traffic laws varied from country to country, with Germany at the more orderly end of the spectrum, and Italy leaning more towards

If I buy a speaker, I want it to be loud, not soft. And especially not supersoft, ultrasoft, or hypersoft.

...and my 17 year old son was in the passenger seat too, making it worse.

It also says they “corner flat”. All kinds of typos in that paragraph.

I kind of suspect the opposite. There’s a little bit of a fishtail as she re-enters the track after the first off. Given that it’s a front-wheel-drive, she may have been using the throttle to restore yaw stability to the car. Unfortunately, she was in a series of decreasing radius corners, and even if you’ve entered

Was this intentional?

Even kei trucks are tiny compared to American trucks.

This is partially Jalopnik’s fault. There was an article here a few years ago the said Caddies were great tow vehicles!

Nailed it. And sure, I could play King’s Quest in 16-color, but unfortunately Test Drive didn’t support the Tandy graphics. I do remember the Test Drive intro song having a bassline, though, so I suppose the three-channel sound was supported.

If anyone wants to take it for a spin...

I’m jealous. I ran it on an 7.16 MHz 8088 processor with no HDD and a single 5.25 floppy. I had to keep swapping the disks. We had glorious 4-color CGA graphics, too. I believe this game led to the first time I opened a computer case and messed around inside.  We had to upgrade to 640 KB of RAM to get it to run.

The only thing I would change for EV application is driver control.

That happened to me. I’m not the guy in that video, but under similar circumstances, I had the side curtains deploy in my V-wagon on the last corner of an autocross course. Set my best time of the day, that run, too.
