Starred for bringing back Nicktoons!

I will give it another try. My main experience was with WC 1&2 so the issue may not have been an issue on the later sequels. I was trying to play them in order though.

I will mention that I played Wing Commander 1 & 2 out of order which made the 1st one seem that much more archaic, but for the price, it's still easy to recommend.

It’s amazeballs! You can get a copy from gog.com. I purchased all of them for $2.49 a piece last year. Then I purchased a Logitech flightstick to go along with it. I don’t regret anything except that I haven’t quite figured out how to emulate a sound card so I can get the in-game speech on the first 2 games.

I had the first Test Drive game and it had a code wheel! 3 wheels with some cut-outs and when you line up the first 2 wheels with whatever the game told you at boot-up, the third wheel would give you and answer that would allow you to play the game.

We had one of those! It was called Floppy Joes and as much as I loved the place, it’s amazing it survived as long as it did renting computer software like that.

Not really fair to compare a modern car to cars designed and sold in the 90's. Didn’t a bunch of countries institute stricter regulations for bumper height and such to minimize human injury in the case of hitting an actual person?

Thanks!

Understandable. My wife and daughter are prone to migraines and simply walking through a cloud of vape smoke triggers migraines for them. It’s harder for me to understand sometimes, but when it happens and I see them suffering, I really don’t need any further explanation.

The lightbar in the front bumper is probably over the average human's head...

Brake lights can easily be used for this without confusing pedestrians and other drivers as to whether or not the car is just about to back out or if the owner of said vehicle is 100 feet away taking the piss out of everyone else.

I love my XDM! It won’t lose its place in my stable anytime soon. Grip, ergonomics, simplicity and high capacity make it a winner in my book.

I had an Adam. My first exposure to computing and command line interfaces. My dad made me learn the commands or I couldn't play the games.

Wouldn't that be nullified if they produced them domestically? Just asking.

O’Reilley’s and Autozones near me still have 5 or 6 fleet white single cab rangers and last gen Canyons which they use to deliver parts to the local dealers and independent repair shops.

Looking at that truck makes my day. Good find!

True, but that is where transmission gear optimization can be used to make up for deficits when a car has an engine that either runs out of steam at the top end, or is gutless at the bottom end.

Someone once said “Customers buy horsepower, but what theu want is torque.” A heavy vehicle like a 4000lb suv needs usable torque down low in the rev band just to get moving reasonably. High torque values are why turbo diesels are so powerful off the line versus a similar sized non-diesel motor.

But it's up 37 lb-ft of torque.
