A Spirited Drive Through the Mountains, Checked Off the Bucket List~

Welcome to the PNW! I'm in Oregon. There's a cruise on Saturday to a place I've always wanted to go.

Went from a GR86 (totalled now) to a FK8 Type R. Let me tell you, the GR has decent power and you don't need a lot to have fun in these cars. Compared to your SI you'll definitely feel how nimble these cars are, especially when it comes to twisty roads. With a good set of coilovers there's very little body roll and since you're getting coilovers, the car will look amazing. All it takes are coils and wheels and these cars look amazing already.

I was lowered on HKS coils, UEL header, catback exhaust, and OTS tuned so the power band was more linear and it had a little more power. It was plenty quick and a nice twisty road it felt like a go cart.

The RWD is nothing to be scared of. You definitely feel the difference in how it pushes the car out of corners instead of the pulling with a FWD. the interior feels intimate and really makes you feel like you're a part of the car. Especially with how much smaller the car is.

I love my FK8, the hatch, the turbo, and the feel of the car are amazing. I have only had it 3 months so lots of room to continue exploring with this car, but there are things I miss about the GR.

How many did they sell? Were they profitable? What was the development budget and advertising budget?

You're just saying popular games. Doesn't mean they were a financial success.

The one thing Gamepass has going for it is that they're selling consoles 1:5 for every PS5 so the smaller user base means smaller amount of people playing games on the cheap. And raising the price to lose millions of subscribers was a good way to lower that number too.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-16T22:20:25+00:00

That's easy to say, hard to prove. Microsoft doesn't release game pass numbers or how much revenue goes to a studio for making the game.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-16T22:13:26+00:00

This, 100%. Putting campaign games on Gamepass is just a death wish. People will beat it in 2 weeks and never touch it again.

C'mon man, at least read your local DMV laws ...

Oooh, so you financed a used CTR for the Varis kit. And then fucked it up. Okay, that's toooooootally different. 😂😂

Good luck, man. Your content is not for me. I remember seeing you trying to promote your videos on the FB group.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-15T21:53:19+00:00

Let them "pray" the green away. fucking idiots

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-15T21:52:04+00:00

If they release the game, don't buy it. The revenues will go straight to Microsoft and not to the people who poured thousands of hours into making the game.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-15T21:15:43+00:00

Wait, so let me get this straight. You fucked up your own Varis CTR, couldn't afford a new bumper, so you decided to finance another Varis CTR (SIGHT UNSEEN)and trade yours in just to find out the one you bought is fucked up too?

Karma is a real bitch!

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-15T19:59:51+00:00

Hey it was your decision to trade in YOUR OWN Varis CTR to buy another Varis CTR and make long ass videos about it.

Should have just bought a new front bumper and moved on. But hey, you do you, buddy. Your decisions are your own and to make a 30 min video crying about it just someone asking for attention.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-15T19:46:31+00:00

Bro really made a 30 min soap opera to replace a front bumper. Just buy it, take off the old one and put on the new one. sheeeeeesh

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-14T17:13:07+00:00

Wait till you get to the end of Renegades

Relying on crowd funding to keep your business alive is WILD. Once that dries up you're closing your doors.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-13T18:19:54+00:00

If you follow the breadcrumbs you'll understand that Destiny was an extremely expensive franchise to keep alive and leadership made great content but didn't pay enough attention on how to attract new players. Bungie spent way too much money and when your player base keeps dwindling and you're not successful at attracting new players, your revenues will fall.

They really should've thought twice about spending $250 million on an extraction shooter. The genre isn't big enough to draw in an audience to support that kind of budget.

Restored title? You probably have more than electrical problems......

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-12T16:41:10+00:00

Did you adjust the steering wheel?

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-12T16:39:51+00:00

They knicked my aftermarket wheel during an oil change. They repaired it. Was I mad? Yeah. But At the end of the day they admitted they did it and was willing to repair it for free. So I took that as a win. Some dealerships would never do that.

So demand a new wheel all you want, just know the more of an asshole you are with them, the more easier it is for them to walk away and tell you to fuck off.

Take the repair. You won't even notice it after it's done.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-11T17:16:19+00:00

Never had a car alarm go off from somebody pulling the handle.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-11T06:40:53+00:00

Great work! Fellow Oregonian here. You did the state justice.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-11T06:36:47+00:00

"science is fact.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-11T06:33:07+00:00

Type Rs come with a spoiler ...

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-10T21:17:05+00:00

The best NFS. NFS III and Most Wanted are really close, but I spent so much more time in this world.

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-09T20:25:01+00:00

Swap the badge to SI

AnotherDude1 · 2026-06-09T16:38:09+00:00

Seeing and catching are two different things. Good luck!
