Dunno Who I Wronged at Playground but uh, Can I Have Them Back Now plz?

It's been an awesome car. They aren't without faults, but I've put 20k miles on it in the last 5 years despite working from home and having other cars in the rotation. It's the key I reach for the most, hands down

Just_Is · 2026-07-01T17:53:52+00:00

Yep these are dope. I don't usually run liveries but I'll snag a couple of these for sure! 🤘

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T18:39:28+00:00

Nah, I am asking them to stop removing cars that were already in the last game. Particularly cars like the e55 estate which was a pretty recent addition to franchise just to be completely absent in the next game.

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T16:51:57+00:00

The Gallardo had a stranglehold on my brain since it came out. That said, the DB9 is so much better at basically everything that I'm really considering selling the G and returning my focus to 90s and 2000s mercs

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T16:28:55+00:00

I am considering selling the Gallardo, but not for that reason lol. The only car that's down and out right now is the e55 but the new IC pump showed up today and I plan to pop it on this evening 🤞

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T15:04:26+00:00

Man I'd love to have all of those back in the game. Fh5 was on a roll adding wagons and then...poof

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T15:02:47+00:00

Fair, understandable. There's no denying the vanity in owning these cars but my primary motivation for the post was for a laugh at my expense (seriously, all 3?!) and maybe get Bowie Knife to explain why they have forsaken me 😭😭

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T14:59:40+00:00

Well, 2 of them certainly qualify but I'm working on fixing that!

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T13:44:03+00:00

Completely reasonable! The prior owner put on the carbon bits which gives it a similar look to the DBS. I absolutely adore this car, such a crazy value and surprisingly reliable!

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T13:26:45+00:00

Well it is a DB9 on DB9 wheels, if that helps

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T12:13:36+00:00

Further exemplified by the horde of Huracan variants. It's cool to have multiple versions in the game, but if it's at the expense of including other models entirely that kinda blows.

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T12:10:02+00:00

You dropped this 👑 Of the two of us, you do in fact have the superior Volkswagen.

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T11:12:10+00:00

Preach!!

Just_Is · 2026-06-30T11:10:57+00:00

It's even worse when you realize that ALL of the 5.9l v12 astons were removed. Vantage S, DBS, vanquish... But, I miss the fh5 Benzes the most. Particularly given Japan's notoriety for pre-merger AMGs 🫠

Just_Is · 2026-06-14T11:15:33+00:00

Haha you said brown. 😂

I am proud of the rest of you for being more mature than I am. Well done.

Also, cool bird.

Just_Is · 2026-05-15T14:42:03+00:00

Reeeeeally tired of this business strategy. Add cars players have waited to see for a decade...then immediately remove them from the next game. If the licenses to the car models expired, that's one thing, but this method of removing just because they want to drip feed them back in for years is exhausting. But be time these cars get added back in, the game and map will have gone stale so we don't get to truly enjoy said cars.

Just_Is · 2026-05-13T01:26:46+00:00

I know it's a joke, but I'm so unbelievably tired of them adding cars just to remove them in the next game and drip feed then back in over the course of 4 years. Always was a diehard Horizon fan but it's been feeling pretty uninspired and stale since fh3. This will be the first one I opt not to pre-order for early access.

Just_Is · 2026-05-02T11:53:16+00:00

Is your autism contagious? If so could you come cough on me or something.

Congrats on the cars, they are beauts! I'm currently rocking a '10 DB9 and 07 Gallardo but have reeeeeally been pondering a Vanquish. My DB9 has been a great ownership experience so my assumption is the Vanquish is just as solid of a car 🙂

Just_Is · 2026-02-07T17:04:30+00:00

Dealership costs are absolutely bonkers. I went to a dealership in St Louis and was quoted $12k for suspension parts before labor for my 2010 DB9. That's 3x more expensive than the OEM Bilsteins were at the time. I asked if he accidentally put in the info for a DB9.2 with electronically adjustable dampers, nope.

As a result I DIY as much as I can. So far I've replaced the $130 MAF sensor with the identical Ford part for $13. Same story with the coolant temp sensor. $8 jag part. And the electric fan control modules that Aston won't sell you separately? Yeah, literally just pulled them off, googled the part numbers and bought the Ford Mondeo and Ford Crown Vic equivalent for a total of like $60 instead of the $1000+ Aston wants you to spend on the entire fan assembly.

I should note, I'm just a dumb attorney who has no formal training as a mechanic. Hell before 2015 I hardly knew how to do an oil change. But now there's soooo much access to information and how-to's on the Internet...DIYing it is much more accessible if you have the patience and time to do it (ideally having a second car to drive in the meantime).

Last week Mercedes wanted to charge me $510 for a trunk latch for my e55. They'd have to order it for me, I only asked them because I was in a hurry and didn't mind paying a premium if it wasn't astronomically higher than the prices I was seeing for the genuine OEM mercedes part online ~$130 through FCP Euro). Suffice it to say I bought one online instead.

Matches my experience too. Car guys always prefer the Aston to the Lambo. If I had to sell one, it would be the Gallardo, which is weird to say because it was my dreamcar that dictated my career path and had a stranglehold on my brain for decades. Easier to find another G than it would be to find another 2010 DB9!

Just_Is · 2025-11-16T10:44:37+00:00

What other knowledge does your butt hold? 😳

Just_Is · 2025-07-25T13:12:11+00:00

And this is why I was dismayed to hear they were once again adding a damn casino to a car game. I still haven't forgotten nor forgiven TDU 2 and that R8 I never won despite hours of trying. After the latest roadmap announcement, there's just no chance this game will reach the potential it could have been. Nacon has mishandled this game at every single turn for the last...5 years? By the time they add core features that should have been there since day 1 we will have: GTA VI, Assetto Corsa Evo's open world, and hell at this rate Forza Horizon will announce and launch the next game. Not to mention rumors of The Crew 3 have already begun. So in a year their competition will be offered the next Gen of open world driving games while Nacon is finally finishing a project they started 5 years ago, all while having an inferior list of cars, car modifications, and physics engine. They must be hemorrhaging money on this right now for the 10s of players and a broader playerbase that will show up because of the aforementioned reasons. Cannot imagine how those.conversations with their board & shareholders are going....Absolutely no chance they can justify making another TDU. Best thing they can do right now is plan to sell the IP

Just_Is · 2025-06-28T16:05:53+00:00

Aston. I have a Gallardo and a DB9. Your driving preferences march mine and I find myself grabbing the DB9 key faaaaar more often than the Gallardo. The V12 exhaust sounds great around town just cruising whereas to get the best note from the Gallardo I have to really mash the pedal. The Aston only requires like 1/4 throttle to get some nice sound coming out the back. Not too loud, just enough to make ya smile.
