    What vehicle do you drive?

    Can't step on the foot of the almighty STi. Hell, there are countless 86's with V8 swaps, 2JZ swaps, RB26 swaps, etc. etc. and even more with single, twin turbo, or supercharger add-ons. Ultimately, it came down to cost, however. Toyo-Baru wanted a fun car that was affordable and playful and...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Love the looks and interiors of Audi. But, for the same money as everyone else, they have less performance and no manual options. In a snowy climate though, definite win.

    Seriously, the hundreds upon hundreds of pictures of teenage Asian boys needs to go to it's own thread.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Definitely a fast car, given the price point. It'll be really fun to drive too. But, ho-lee shit it's ugly. It's very possible to make a fast FWD coupe or hatch look good. Renault and Citroen do it all the time.

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    Is King of War just a duplicate of Warhammer Fantasy? The factions and units all look like carbon-copies. But, for those folks who have actually played it, does it differ a lot? Is the entertainment value there because it's NOT Warhammer, or is it because it's a good game on its own? It seems to...

    Aside from the art, I hate everything about these cards. Not because I've been playing this damn game for 2 decades and I'm set in my ways. But, objectively, they are fucking impossible to read or discern color and cost.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I hear ya, loud and clear and I completely agree. However, there are many cars that are much more emotionally engaging, despite being a hunk of metal. And because we're humans, it's easy to assign a personality to cars and trucks that make them seem more than they really are. I loved my Z06's. I...

    Would never want either of those cars, so..... If you have to pick a soulless, transportation appliance; both will be reliable and have good MPG. Pick the nicer color.

    Warhammer 40k

    Yup, same. Too old to deal with the outcasts who smell like a landfill and the inconvenience of lugging shit around and playing dependent on the store's schedule. All friends and family now (which is maybe once a year, because lots of people moved).

    Riddick (2013)

    Nah, not Grim or Dark enough to be 40k. There will likely never be a studio with the money or balls to correctly portray 40k's universe. They could have gone a lot of fun directions after Chronicles, but there just wasn't enough profit in the movie, it seems. Shame, because the story is cool...

    Warhammer 40k

    Hahaha, no, thankfully. I love the lore, but the Imp. Fists are more interesting still. Of course....I also have a large (2,500 pts) Space Wolf army and an even larger (3,200 pts) Tyranid army.... All sitting in boxes in a closet. le sigh.

    And that's one of the most exciting parts of the Majors and TI. As much as I love EG and want them to win, it was incredibly satisfying to see the new kids do so well last year.

    Sort of, but people do things for reasons we sometimes don't understand. I always loved the "I don't like the MPG of my truck, for daily driving. So, I'm going to go buy a $10,000 car to save on gas"......yeah? SAVE? OK..... I've been guilty of the car flipping/swapping thing and losing money...

    That's pretty cool. Just going to be an around-town commuter, or do you intend to take trips in it as well (and what kind of range is reasonable?)

    Car Buying Help

    Investigate if there is an OEM recall on the car for that known issue. Warranty or not, they would have to fix it. Second choice; keep trying to find a fix that isn't going to cost more than the price of the car. Third choice; you eat the cost and "lesson learned" on buying used without research...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Last time I went to the Joint Services Air Show (geez...8-9 years ago?) there were several moments when I wept, as the WW2 planes flew around. What they did, when they did it, with what they had, along with the noise (OMG the noise) really just strikes a chord.

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    No necessarily "useless", but with each new version they release new units and models that are considerably more powerful and appealing, so they can move the plastic/metal. So, the older stuff tends to fall out of favor a bit so that people feel like they have to buy "random...

    If friends and family ever gets together to play Fantasy or 40k (we have almost 2 dozen armies all-in) then we just use the version of the rules that are the most enjoyable. Way too many odd or backwards changes over the years to bother with.

    Yup, it is. Even with full drag slicks, I can spin at will if I'm being a hoon in 1st and 2nd. It actually is a car that was not designed to fully make use of the power and even tires are only a band-aid. @vegrant That looks like a ton of fun. New Raptor still a 6.2, or did Ford put in...

    OK, this discussion isn't getting anywhere. Here's the bottom line; YES, you can mod a car and not tune it. HOWEVER, that's not advised, it's not safe, and it won't run nearly as well. Can we move on now?
