Robin Reliant for the ultimate win.
Should be stickied on the front page, where it's needed 
Can't decide between mum buying you a G25 or mum buying you a killer gfx card. I won't say the "s" word but I'm thinking it.
I'd much rather see my girlfriend when I wake up, but hey - that's just my particular kink.
So, at the ripe old age of 23 you have all the benefits of living on your own but absolutely none of the responsibilities. Wish I could've snowed my folks like that *applause* But now, I do have all the privacy of living out on my own - plus the ability to strut around naked whenever I want because I know my dear ma isn't likely to come knocking on my door asking for my laundry or would I like one marshmallow or two in my hot chocolate.
As for the rest of your quote: holy crap & xomfgz!! I never realised that milk and insurance actually cost money! You think I would've twigged to that after being out of home since I was 19. I honestly don't know how I haven't starved to death in the past decade or so. If only there was something a guy could do each day to earn themselves money with which to pay for things ... some kind of, I dunno, useful work which someone could pay me for!
Seriously, you can't expect to post things like "I can't decide which expensive toy my ma should buy me for Christmas" when you're twenty-three frickin years old and not cop a little shit for it. Toughen up mate

There have been several "LFS on [insert console]" threads over the years which have all pretty much received the same answers as this one (can't recall if the devs have ever issued an official yes/no about it though). You'd think a search ... oh, never mind 
Obviously, P2P is one of those things that's thrown into a sport purely to "add spectacle" for the viewers. I understand that - I also understand that some governing bodies simply can't abide not pandering to TV stations (and therefore advertisers). But why isn't watching highly-skilled pilots battle each other inches apart at multiple-life-threatening speed spectacular enough? Look at F1 (although it has governing-body problems of its own relating to "spectacle"), NASCAR, MotoGP, V8 Supercabs, WRC, various touring car & single-seat series worldwide and all the other hugely popular racing series that don't feature P2P. Noone's complaining that those aren't exciting enough, are they? If they are, then it's quite clear that those people are (a) wrong and (b) stupid.
The thing that I don't quite get is this: Indy and A1GP are two series that least need P2P imho, given the closely-matched cars (exactly-matched in A1GP's case). You'd think in a spec series that the skills of the drivers and team would take precedence without needing gimmicks like warp drive, which weren't implemented for the sake of the drivers at all. LFS isn't a spectator sport by any means, so why should it have pure spectator candy like P2P?

I can dig the whole "round edge = more effective pandering to non-drivers" angle from the factory's point of view, but I have two comments on that: (1) it is possible to make cars round as well as shapely & attractive; (2) I would like to know how, in the name of The Almighty One Thousand Satans, do they justify turning the Impretzel's decent sedan arse into a hatch. How many people get killed in car accidents where the car's going ****ing backwards? The whole attraction of a WRX (for me) was its sport-sedan angles. Now it's shaped like a nana-trolley, like every second car on the sodding road, and I will never ever buy a hatchback - unless it's a mad bastard like a 147 GTA.
Humbug!
Humbug!
Some threads are like the heads of the Hydra - nail one and two more spring up to replace it ...
I don't mind the Subi's front but I want the sedan-y arse back. I'm sick to **** of hot hatches.

Where's this poll then? Not in the other thread you started.
I suspect you need more practice operating your internetz.

Arise, departed thread, and walk again amongst the living!
This idea is resting in peace and so was this thread.
Nitrous oxide won't happen ... unless the developers include nitro-burning dragsters. Which is about as likely as me winning a race against Fangio.
BTW the boost (aka "push to pass" or P2P) systems used in series like Indy/CART (I forget if they both have it or just one) and A1GP aren't nitrous-based, they simply allow a few seconds of extra RPM over the rev limit which can give you maybe 10kph of extra speed. P2P has also been discussed to death on this forum - basically you shouldn't expect P2P until LFS features a car from a series that uses it.

This happened a few times when I worked for a glazier. Car windows are heat-tempered to a state of high stress using a similar process as the safety glass we used for shower screens (not that awful shit with the wires in it we used clear panes a minimum of 10mm thick, industry standard). It makes them incredibly strong (I've seen grown, fat tradesmen ride bikes up these panes of glass into skips) but really brittle, hence the explosion of zillions of tiny granules when they do actually break. Maybe twice a year we would have someone call to tell us that a pane of their shower screen had spontaneously exploded. I'm not sure there's a single explanation other than to say that sometimes you get a pane with tiny hidden faults which express themselves at awkward moments. Glad noone was hurt!

No. We don't.
People like to commemorate those they respect
Don't take it too seriously.I think working on Saturdays is for chumps and I wouldn't be caught dead doing it
You'd think so, going by the suggestions for santa avatars.
I reiterate my humbug, this time in your direction.
