Honorary mention: Virgil Exner’s designs were classy as hell when new, and both classy and classic as hell now

I’m glad others are finally starting to catch on to “Crossovers are just tall station wagons” finally

Far Cry 3 is the closest we’re ever going to get to a Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now video game, and for that I love the narrative. I will however say that losing Vaas as early in the game as we did was really weak, Hoyt had none of the impact that Vas did.

Exactly. Vegeta trains and improves himself to be better than Goku. Goku trains and improves himself to be better than Goku too. Vegeta’s always aiming at a static target, wherever Goku is when he starts, but whenever he gets there he realizes that the target’s actually been drifting upwards the whole time.

Nothing says a good dad like someone who bails on his family before his son is even born (in this case, Goten) and misses out on the first decade or so of his life, then only comes back because he gets to take part in his favorite past time.

It warms my hear that no one’s said V-rod, the weird future motorcycle that Harley attempted then gave up on when attracting a new customer base looked hard and they didn’t want to put any more effort in than selling bald eagle t-shirts to boomers.

Anyone remember Cadillac and the “last convertible” thing? Where they thought regulations would kill off convertibles, so they made a big hurrah about the final year they would offer one, then changed their minds a few years later. That lawsuit was unsuccessful.

I’ll never forget the one kit car I saw in person, it was gorgeous. I took a ton of pictures, then I looked inside. Still beautiful, but the doors were sheet metal. Not bad sheet metal, they were perfectly sculpted, but there is no crash structure. No reinforcement. The plan in the event of an accident is to die quick…

I remember years ago (when everyone was losing their minds over chicken nugget sauce) there were some allegations of him being a major creep to underage girls, and the collective answer was “oh yeah, he’s supremely fucked up, if you dig into his past it makes this stuff look like kindergarten.” Like that was some kind…

Bingo. I always got a chuckle that they worked with Porsche on the V-rod, but didn’t learn the most important lesson from that parnership. They have to do what Porsche did when they introduced the Cayenne, and Panamera, and all the other not-911s. Basically, say “screw you” to their core demographic. The more they…

I want to like the rotary engine. I love that it’s doing something different and maximizing physical size for its displacement and power. Hell, it’s cool. But saying “it’s a feature not a bug” doesn’t make it much better. Sure maybe it’s not inherently flawed, but it’s inherently compromised. It’s still not good

Completely agree. It’s cool, but saying “it’s a feature not a bug” really doesn’t make up for it. If anything it’s an admission that it’s an inherently compromised design. I don’t want to say flawed, because I’m sure I’m going to get a lot of heat as it is already, but it’s a major tradeoff for what works out to be…

These cars seemed to have settled around 10-15k for a while now, I’m surprised they haven’t started going up in value yet.

I’m trying to get out of motorcycling, but that said, this seems like a good price to me. Goldwings are solid machines and this one hasn’t been hacked apart.

He gave up the Witcher to go back to Superman, they really screwed him. I hope the warhammer thing works out

I still have a soft spot for Sega GT 2002, even though the three Ford GT cars were a bit overpowered

If it was clean and unmolested, that’s a fair price. But this is far from clean and unmolested.

It reminds me of the movie 9, where you could tell originally the character wasn’t supposed to talk much (if at all) until the studio decided to cast a big name to it anyways.

Chevy saw the flack Ford took with the Mach E and decided they wanted some of that?

I don’t follow these cars to say one way or another the V10 is only acceptable answer (personally I think the V8 would be more than sufficient for my needs), but it’s about 15-20 grand more than I’d want to pay for it considering its age and maintenance needs.
