These “X number of things I wish I knew” are becoming my favourite posts on Kotaku. I hardly ever play the game it’s about (but when I do they’re handy tips), but it still somehow gives me a mechanical insight that reviews don’t necessarily take time for. It’s good old fashioned boring info. And I like it.

The one about orange roads is wrong, I’m afraid.

Roads you haven’t driven on are dark grey, not orange. They turn white when you’ve driven on them if they’re a paved road, and they turn red/orange when you drive on them if they’re offroad/dirt. Maybe you have some sort of accessibility option turned on that’s showing them as orange? 

Here’s one to add to the list: How Elimination works. Because the game tells you jack shit.

I'd love to hear about life with a V10 family sedan, so e60 M5 or Audi S8 of similar vintage!

The Question: Can you really own a 50 year old classic sports car in this crazy modern world? Can you use the thing on a daily basis? Is it really that hard? What can you really do with the thing? What are the numbers?

No 4WD, but you'd have to admit, it would be an interesting choice for a year.

I almost fell for your trap and offered a suggestion, but then good sense prevailed and I remembered my own rules around this sort of thing. So, tell me what you've considered, and I will validate that choice for you :)

I love this. It fits with what's great about Doug's articles.

Step 1) Convince yourself and others that through superior knowledge you can buy a car only the foolhardy or very rich will drive
Step 2) Buy car, pat self on back

Something Foreign, older than 25 years, and not originally sold in the USA (bonus points for being wrong side drive). Think of all the fun that can be had documenting the grey market import process.

Thank you. Apparently I am the only one on Jalopnik not in the know. I have now made a second suggestion.

I firmly support this. I'd love to hear about the trials and tribulations of importing an infamous car like that.

Two awful, horrible, unrepentantly bad cars. I like it.

Another excellent idea.

I tweeted at you from @CKFairbanks, but my suggestion is better explain in more than 140 characters.

But really, pick the H1.

Indeed. I was lying in wait like a young spaniel, hungry for delicious, delicious socks.

Doug, the answer is obvious: The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. Preferably in seafoam green, tan top, tan interior.
