If it weren’t for video games I wouldn’t be here, but they are a continual and diminishingly effective crutch for the awful things that happened to me. My parents never understood that video games were the last bastion between me and complete mental breakdown.

Just don’t name it a Corvette. Nobody names their high end SUVs the same name as their sports cars. Build it with the same underpinnings, nobody cares, most non-car people think a Pontiac Vibe is a GM engineered product. Just have their marketing department do some actual work on this.

This will probably be buried, so I’ll just write what I really think instead of some filtered version.

You must be taller than I am. My corgi-like arms would not reach anywhere near the window crank on the opposite side. While I respect your dedication for no-frills simplicity and cost-cutting, my physical limits and the restrictions placed on modern cars in terms of equipment pretty much force my hand.

Holy shit, TIL

As an occasional Spam consumer, I would suggest buying Spam Lite, which to me tastes slightly better and has the advantage of being slightly less bad for you. Despite it being edible out of the can, pan frying or otherwise preparing with cooking heat is recommended. To be honest, it’s pretty awful straight from the…

Yeah, this is solid. I don’t always naturally gravitate to Amano-san’s work but this is a home run. 

I went to a meet on the west end of Phoenix with a friend of mine. He owns a JDM Supra and I had rented a C8 just to gather a crowd of lookie loos so off we ent. (His idea.)

Ad says new Michelin Pilot Sport tires. I check the pics and yep, that’s what it is. 

My mom never explained to me what the hell it was, it was always just “eat it.”

I have my suspicions. 

MANALIVE that’s the worst filter I’ve ever seen. When you got the car, did you check the cabin filter then? I *think* I recall you buying it used. 

You should be wearing a mask right now anyway. 

Your friends sounds like a lot of fun to play DS with. Coop with a good player does make the game super fun, especially if you’re ass at it like I am.

David, as an engineer you know that iteration and development are part of the process, so I’m sure the next time you try to drift an expensive electric sports car, you’ll be able to successfully avoid the grass. 

I just wish there was an option on these things to omit the roof glass completely. I’ve always hated roof glass. Carbon fiber, aluminum, steel, just not glass, please. 

I agree with that too, it’s just that for the vast majority, that financial option doesn’t exist. A rationalization does tend to form (not always) as to why your decision was optimal, and sometimes, when others make different decisions conflict on those arises.

I’m trying to be vague on purpose, but I’ve never enjoyed…

oooooh, Superhot. That did look interesting. I was also thinking I could use the headset to play driving games with a wheel and pedal setup. My wife is super into Skyrim which is why I brought that up, but there is a motion sickness aspect there, so we need to borrow and test and not rush into buy.

But all those…

Haha, I’ve thought about VR a lot too and just couldn’t pull the trigger. Did you enjoy it while you did it? I am super curious about it, but don’t want to spend the money just yet.  The Skyrim VR UI looks a little weird. 

I didn’t say it was ok, it’s obviously against the letter of the rules. Practically speaking, from my viewpoint it’s not seeming to be a big priority to AAA or AAA customers. I certainly didn’t really care about that during my membership, although I never did break that specific rule. Do you have data to indicate how…
