I like it. Being conservative in automotive design means being last, and its about damn time an american brand made a luxury wagon. Not even suburu builds a wagon in the US anymore. Now if we could get the fusion/mondeo wagon, or, even better, the ford falcon wagon....

i like wagons btw

The corvette has an unbeatable price/performance ratio except maybe a top of the line lotus or hand built track toys. And when it comes down to it I'd rather have aircon, nav and..a windshield.

I only have pretty average stock lenses right now, I don't think I'll upgrade until I feel I'm really being held back by them.

Probably a rear mounted turbo.

oh yeah i forgot that its also an excuse to look at everything you do online and judge you for it. They would probably love to implement china's system and report you to the secret police if you download a miley cyrus video.

I'm a noob when it comes to photography but I've just started a photography class at school so we'll see if I turn out to be any good. I thought the class was about digital photography but I checked the wrong box at registration so now I'm going to be in a darkroom all semester learning the ancient arts. Not really sure what to think yet, seems kinda useless now that nobody uses film. Also I don't get to use my Rebel XT which I used to take these shots of my car.

..which i'll post tomorrow. I forgot that macs suck and don't have a built in picture editor so i cant resize these.

a lot of people don't like this generation of corvette but its my favorite body style

looks like you can buy a 2000 focus ZX3 standard for 1250 pounds and insure it for only 1000 pounds per year!

shit wrong country sry

I wont pretend to know about internet use laws outside of the US but I think that limiting bandwidth is a disgusting business practice that exploits a "scarcity of bandwidth" to charge fees and higher prices in general.

Exactly its such bs. Of course I despise what he and his cohorts have done but at least they could have charged him with espionage, instead of these surprise sex allegations which will disappear within a few months, leaving him scott free.

Mrs w is a far left liberal blogger who betrayed assange for 15 minutes of fame. According to what ive heard they had consentual sex several times before the "surprise sex"

I just don't understand all the fuss about so called man made global warming right NOW of all times. Europe is on the brink of destruction, greece is looking at 25 percent unemployment, spain is not far behind, germany and other countries that actually contribute money to the eu are going to have to start printing money based on nothing. Germany did this before and it was the main cause of wwii. Lack of trust in democracy and capitalism are rampant (see all the hammers and sickles at riots?) due to the utter incompetancy of our leaders, a sociopolitical environment that spawned the third reich. You guys are worried about a possible increase of a third of a degree and are willing to be taxed beyond your wildest imaginations to stop it? Get your priorities straight, when the eu gets hyperinflation, so will the us.

And as always, taxes are not charity. Giving gladly and under your own accord is charity.

Best way to find self aggrandizing and arrogant posts ^^^

How do you describe cap and trade in your own words?

Have I ever agreed with you before? Points to you.

Quote from mrodgers :

935 speed cameras in the database in the US....

14 in Florida, though none listed for Daytona Beach....

by "caught on" I mean prolific amounts of speed cameras. For instance there are 6000 speed cameras on 225,000 miles of roads in Britian, just as an example. There are about 1000 speed cameras in the US, on 4,000,000 miles of road.

UK: 1 camera every ~40 miles
US: 1 camera every 4000 miles
Netherlands: 1 every ~60 miles

I was extremely glad to see they are being outlawed in certain parts of germany and france as being solely for the profit of municipalities and because they have not decreased speeding or traffic safety in any way, shape, or form.

speed cameras sound like the work of the lowest, most despicable filthmonkey in existence, I'm so glad they haven't caught on here. Don't we pay cops billions per year in pensions and salaries to have the decency to catch us in person?

I got live and jumped on a server but maybe it was a bad time of day..any good private servers you guys race in? I hope the community isnt dead now that I finally got live lol

Edit: it is. Crap.

Is it not even older in America to drink?.. Must suck being a kid until 21, Tho more than a few play on this fact...

Its much easier to get pot than it is to get alcohol lol. Plus alcohol is not quite as much fun so it works out alright

I thought it was going to turn into a "who's the smartest ****er based on the SAT" circlejerk

I haven't looked in this thread in a long time. It's amazing to see a sim that actually gets updated regularly! The cost is too much for me to stomach, but that topic been beaten to death in this thread soo

moving on

I did skip a lot. After reading it all the way through, I can say I could dig it all the way up until the toyota engine. I would have thought it was better if it mixed the paintless body and WWII graphics with flawless bumpers, door handles, interior, etc.

then again its not about what I think, its his car.

craftsmanship didn't look all that great, the body was straight when he bought it, and the front valance was missing half the parts/hanging crooked in all the iterations, like he was going to shave it, but then didn't. Rusting the hood, adding a roof rack, and dropping it don't require any special craftsmanship either...

I like it a lot, I've seen a six cylinder model at the track and its no joke. The only problem is that there are small circles at the front and back that cost about $8,000 each.

oh noo our fragile psyches!

has anyone played the AI in forza and gt? Which one is better? I would imagine that they're pretty similar in that once you pass them, they're gone forever but I don't know for sure. Its always weird when you battle a car for 3 or more laps and when you finally pass them its like they give up.
