the 53 mile range I'd say

So how did you envision this thread going?

"I like all those songs it's so awesome that you put them next to each other like other musical prodigies do"

Cobalt isn't the first car that comes to mind of when I think ~$10,000 American and manual (Mustang) but yours looks very clean. I drove a few of those when I worked for Chevy and I know I wouldn't race you

thats a far more reasonable camber than i've seen on many purpose built track toys

the mudflaps are cool
how does it do on the track?

oh, I do that except I just pick numbers from the phone book.

I may or may not have caused the global economic recession of 2008.

pretty sure that dirt layer is made by a guy called 'funnycat' who i don't see on the forums anymore

from what I hear the actual price of a 924 has little to do with the purchase price.

isn't a locked diff eventually going to wear out your u-joints?

The suspension looked a bit better in this vid, better than FM3 at least.

I think i'm just a four-wheeled guy after all. Half of my imagination is focused on how awesome it would be and the other half is stuck under a SUV.

Good to know thanks

I thought it would be more difficult!

I really want a motorcycle for the great mileage and everything but I also don't want to die. Assuming I would learn to ride as well as I drive, how dangerous is motorcycle riding honestly?

Also the people in my city are scared of driving/overly courteous and therefore unpredictable and unsafe (compared to San Francisco) so that turns me off.

I'll trust the expert

I don't know how Irish people can drive manuals at all when they're drunk on whiskey and full of haggis.

I wouldn't say that autos are useless for a few reasons but CVTs certainly are. As for the mazda powertrain, I wonder how long the engine can last at 14:1 compression keeping in mind that many economy car owners will never do any maintenance on their cars, maybe changing the oil every 10-15k miles.

I'm going to wait and see which gets better reviews.

It seems like people here are completely discounting that both games have single player campaigns that look pretty epic.

I'm not sure the 'italian tuneup' is a good thing for cars with very high miles or existing damage to the engine. Am I wrong?

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Pretty awesome, even harsh critics of action movies will be impressed by the motion capture and other special effects. Of course it helps to have the best motion-capture actor in the business, Andy Serkin (Gollum)

btw this movie is nothing like the 2003 remake with Mark Wahlberg, or the original with Charlton Heston, but kind of acts as a prequel which explains the ending of the the 1968 movie and of course sets itself up for a sequel.

Snow and salt are car murderers and there is almost nothing you can do about it and still be a 'regular' car owner. (not using tweezers to pick pieces of road salt off the top of your lower control arms every night)

wow

A little pessimism here, the second a group of civilians dies on a commercial space flight the whole idea of space tourism is going to go down the tube for another 20+ years. Most likely the governments would see that as a chance to prevent privatization of space for good.

iirc the general idea of autovista is to showcase rare and desirable cars, not to include run-of-the-mill street cars. BUT the quality of 3d models will probably not vary much from car to car. I would be very surprised if there are any features of FM4 that are exclusive to kinect.

This is very confusing to me. It's supposed to be left clear but in practice people drive in it all the time like it's another lane?
