No that's the thing, I'm Swedish, so the system he wants should be identical to the one I've been opening. Could be that some internal components require special tools to be removed? Because the case definitely doesn't.

Yeah, I remembering open up my then GF's NES once, and I definitely don't remember any special tools being needed.

This device was obviously designed with an AoE II port in mind.

It seems like every single person who replies to me has missed one important thing: How expensive would a custom-made rear view mirror cap be compared to every other custom made part of the car, such as the body panels, the rims, the seats, the dashboard, etc.

Rear view mirrors and interior switches must be homologated? It's one thing with lights, but this concept isn't just limited to homologated parts.

I realize that molding is expensive, but relative every other part of the process in designing and constructing a new supercar? I mean, every single one of those body panels needs to be pressed/molded/wowen.

This is something I'll never understand. You're designing a car that will cost a million € or so, and you will typically be producing around a hundred examples. Considering that every other part of the car will need to be specially manufactured, would it really hurt the development budget that much to not use the…

In that case, I can chime in. Not just to me, but every time my gf sees me browsing Kotaku she asks me 'Oh, is there a new highlight reel up yet?'

Something about this reeks of Mustang. And I'm not saying that as a compliment.

I like my cars old, and I don't think that any progress has been made in the past two decades that I would desire in my car, but I'm right with you on the Delorean. It's a very mundane car, poorly designed, poorly engineered and poorly built. If it hadn't featured in the Back To The Future movies, I seriously don't…

I just spent ten minutes trying to get my automatic rental car started, and only succeeded when the nice Indian woman who was working in the office came out and told me how to do. It works both ways...

I suspect that there's no requirement beyond a driving license. But it's really weird that you're allowed to do these things without having a proper track-equipped car with rollcage, a proper harness etc. I mean, even many track day bros end up investing in these things. I would think that the liability risk would…

Yup! Because rallying, or something similar.

Yeah, I would love to play it when it comes out on PC, but intentionally broken physics engines always bother me (unless it's something like goat simulator). I mean, the cars getting easier to drive as your character's 'driving skills' meter grows? How about just making it realistic instead, and the cars will become…

Do you also want to invest $20,000 in a 64-core calculation rig?

I suspect so, partially because I haven't seen it before either and partially because everything else seems to be aftermarket at that car!

I'm guessing that it has to be on eBay, or at least in the US, but I've been spending most of my working day ogling this one, trying to find reasons not to buy it (I need a second car, since my only car is an NA Miata). Short reason why my car is the best beater? None needed, look at it. Also, everybody knows that…

My take on it - as well as my standard response to all the “hurr durr GoT is such a shitty show” people - is that the main appeal of fantasy has always been world-building. The works that I enjoyed the most when I was younger was the ones where I could immerse myself totally in a gigantic fictional universe. I think…

Anyone who buys a sporty car does so at least partially because of the way he thinks it makes him look. Cars are like clothes in that aspect. And even tuning bros (who aren't exactly the pinnacle of taste and sophistication) would mock you for having this feature, so how on earth can they think that it would make the…

Yeah, but contemporary cars of today will require a lot more money shuffled into them to keep going in 20 years than 20-year-old-cars today are doing. So in the end, maybe we'll have to accept the notion that much fewer of today's cars will survive until an age where they can be considered "classics".
