I agree, and while I’ve tried to make this point before it doesn’t seem to be a very popular opinion around here.

I’ve never asked anyone to not post stories about current events (such as races). What I’ve asked for is that when it comes to races, maybe one could be considerate enough to choose headlines that doesn’t give away the entire outcome? Since headlines are shared amongst many different Gawker blogs, and since they are…

Seriously, Stef, could you please stop spoiling races via the headlines? Me and many others have pointed this out before, usually without a reply.

My dad used to be an ambulance mechanic before he retired, and here in Sweden the limit for ambulances is 400,000 km, i.e. 250,000 miles. Considering that ambulances most likely are driven harder for most miles, and that the consequence of a mechanical failure can be even bigger, it seems reasonable that police cars…

Speaking as someone from a country where Citroëns aren’t considered “exotic”, they have always been so hopelessly behind the times in their attempts to be avant-garde. In the 1980s, Citroën made cars that looked like they were stuck in the 1970s (the BX and CX). In the 1990s, they built cars that looked like they were…

I hope that I’m not too late to the party, but Morcheeba - The World Looking In is a perfect match of music and car.

Are you sure that it’s not just a SAE/DIN issue or something similar? Though 20 hp is a bit too much for that.

Within many racing games, user modded cars often tend to be 3D models ripped/converted from other games. While it’s impressive that someone can figure out how to extract a 3D model from one game and get it to work in another, it’s definitely not the same thing as rendering car models of this quality from scratch.

Like many already have asked: How does the steering feel compare to the NA? I’ve read good things about the electric steering in the ND, but at the same time I wonder if it can give me the same sense of ‘feeling every speck of dirt on the road through my finger tips’ that I get in my NA. I feel that anything that’s…

I tend to agree. Every advantage that the commenter mentioned was somehow related to safety. You can clear rubbish on the road, you won’t highside, you won’t lowside. At the same time, he just brushed off pretty valid disadvantages (Yes, you *can* lane split on a bike. You’re not supposed to, but you can and you most…

Seriously, this is driving me insane. Where have I seen this logo before? Is it the logo of some regular airline? Or is it actually from the GoT board game? Magic the Gathering? The Swedish reggae band Svenska Akademien?

I agree. If you’re struggling to make people consider an activity to be a ‘legitimate’ sport (and let’s face it, I think that most people in the world would still laugh in confusion if you try to explain the concept of video games as sports), letting people play while drinking or smoking is simply a bad idea.

I admit that I have exactly 0% interest in ever owning a video game figurine, but wouldn’t this be a great opportunity for the figurine-making companies to release 3D models of various accessories/replaceable parts for printing through Shapeways or such?

Ah, crossovers. Minivans for men with small dicks.

As a European car guy in his early thirties (which I guess is kind of the target group for the TT) I fully agree. I don’t think that even my less Jalop friends would buy a car with pretentions of sportiness that has an automatic gearbox. The automatics you see over here tend to be either highway commuting cars or…

To me, that’s the problem with the TT. The reason people buy it rather than the Golf? Because they think they’re getting a sports car, or at least they like the idea that other people might think that. That’s why it’s a big no-no if it’s not sporty enough. The styling suggests a level of sports car performance and…

I genuinely agree about racing being a sport, but I would seriously suggest Gran Turismo (or one of the proper PC simulators) for this list. While many driving games are simply about driving quickly, some of them capture the whole picture. Running a six-hour race where you need to set up your car perfectly for that…

Just a regular dipshit, check his comment history.

No, it means that when you buy a 4C you pay for certain qualities that the Corvette simply doesn't have (looks, drama, exoticness, etc.). The fact that there is pretty much zero market overlap between the Corvette and the 4C means that they have different qualities that appeal to different people. These differing…

There is something inbetween fun and fast. Look at most Ferrari models. They aren’t about excessive speed, but not ultimate speed (most Ferrari models isn’t as track friendly as the LaFerrari or the F40). They are about driving pleasure, but not solely about driving pleasure (in that case, you’d probably be better of…
