Hmm. How about this: We determine an average ride height for cars. For maximum safety, any car below this threshold (such as Miatas) must be grounded to the ground, and any car above it (such as trucks) must be lifted to the... lift? Bro science.

Out of interest: What Citroën had a retractable hardtop? I'm trying to think of one, but can't figure it out.

This... This feeling is new to me. I want a Honda Accord for the first time in my life.

Good point. I was just thinking that it'd be easier to source a (relatively rare) car in southern Europe and benefiting from internal import regulations within EU than getting it from the US. I live in Sweden, and I've actually been playing around with the idea of getting a Jaguar from Italy to be (relatively) safe on

The rust is a good point, of course, but wouldn't cars from, say, Italy or Spain be similarly rust-free?

Why one from America? I'm guessing that prices are generally lower in Europe?

Couldn't he have put the same money, the same work and the same hassle with importing it into a LHD version from any other European country instead? And the purchase price difference between a regular 900 and a Turbo would be completely negligible when he first bought it.

Agreed. Over here (Sweden) even an extremely nice example couldn't fetch more than maybe 1500 USD. Anything in excess of that is what you pay for local rarity.

Hahahaha, seconded.

I don't know. To me, the most important part is that the mother 'warned' the stewardesses that the daughter will 'have a meltdown and try to scratch'. Sure, a scratch could be pretty harmless, but an adult-sized person out of control who's trying to scratch everyone could also do some significant damage.

One one end, yes. Compared to this, hardly any car on the road (with the exception of extremes like the Elise or Caterhams) can be said to "handle like a go kart". However, the statement still isn't entirely true. Shave 700 kg off it and put on some racing slicks, and it would literally handle like a go kart. Already

It's a very well-thought-trough strategy. They found oil laying around in the ground of their waters, and no government on earth would be stupid enough to just leave it there. Rather, they sell the oil, but try to manage the money as responsibly as possible. This means working towards an extremely stable economy,

Not only is the world advanced and awesome by the standards of people in the past, it's extremely advanced and awesome already by the standards of those who are old today. Consider that someone who was old enough to remember when the first telephone was installed in the village actually lived to see people walking

I think it would be much easier to find a good reviewer over at Jalopnik. They all have experience with driving cars, they have the knowledge to understand the subtle details of racing that more arcade-y games tend to skip, they understand how futile it is to drive a 'simulator' while using an automatic gear box in a

Make sure to post a link here if you get around to do it! I'm always on the look-out after good racing games (none of them is perfect, in my opinion) but professional game reviewers rarely have the competence to write anything more meaningful than 'The cars looks good, I guess?' and opinions voiced on the many forums

I agree. They are Porsches without the sporting capabilities*, trying to look like off-roaders without the capability to go off-road.

Haha, no biggie! I think that Twitch tends to autoplay no matter where you put it, same thing on their own site!

So, are you aware what the concept of confirmation bias means? Tell me how many times you've spent as much money on a Windows machine as you did on your iMac?

Are you aware of any game reviewer on Kotaku who has experience with racing sims?

I appreciate the link, but is there any way to make it not autoplay? I just got a very weird look from my boss when the loud ad started in a mysterious background tab, and it took me a while to mute it.
