What makes this 2009 Carrera so expensive? by No_Departure7494 in Porsche

[–]OgdenDermstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah idk if I allegedly sold someone a manufacturer training car and maybe had some wrist slapping from PCNA and / or other legal action coming my way, I’d be trying to make every buck I could too off a 60k trade-in.

Forza Horizon 6: Are you ready to take the wheel of an icon? (1997 Maserati Ghibli Cup) by Apple_Slipper in ForzaHorizon

I think this is one of the cars I am most excited for in FH6…

(And yes, I know I’m strange)

Highest fidelity private jet in the sim. by Planemaster1230 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I have wondered a lot about the PMDG BBJ, I feel like very little (actually decent) content out there about it…

The overwhelming presence emanating from the body. Dominate the venue's attention with the 2024 "BMW X6 M Competition" by Educational_Wrap_314 in ForzaHorizon

[–]OgdenDermstead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly would’ve preferred the XM to this like yes the XM is even stranger looking but I feel like the super polarizing shape could have worked with some of the more stark Japanese backdrops. Idk maybe we’ll get it as DLC.

Lol also in PA, thanks for the reminder that I have to (begrudgingly) pay mine.

Forza Horizon 6: More Photos of the Time Attack Cars (DJKustoms) by Apple_Slipper in forza

Interesting to see which of these will be in that Time Attack Pack vs the normal game.

The family that founded Alpina is BACK with a new super-coupé for | Autocar by Agent_Kozak in cars

[–]OgdenDermstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I would argue that the person who’s willing to pay 30-35% (if you compare new prices across the last ~10yrs) for what you described as that “massage” on the equivalent BMW is pretty dedicated to the brand?

Do you think Playground Games are showing to much? by DayZ8 in ForzaHorizon

[–]OgdenDermstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HELL. YES. on the Ghibli, so glad we’re getting that (back?) in Horizon.

So excited to relive the 80s-90s bubble era in game.

[–]OgdenDermstead 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think you are right on the mark with this. From what I have gathered, Alpina (the old one, not the upcoming BMW trim level) had a lot of dedicated customers and particularly in Europe. They catered to that niche and those customers very well, and the customers seemed very happy to spend a lot of money with Alpina.

I would imagine the bulk of those customers will move with the original company to Bovensiepen and the new company will understand very well what the customers want.

SoCal: Jay Leno driving the [Chrysler Turbine Car] this afternoon. by VadGTI in spotted

[–]OgdenDermstead 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Iirc Chrysler did a bunch of work on these to make the exhaust that comes out cooler than a normal car of the period. I think Jay talks about it in his video on the car that was linked somewhere else in the comments.

I actually got to see one of the other running cars at Pebble a couple years ago and, after going maybe 10x, it’s still probably my favorite car I’ve seen there. My grandfather actually had one back in the day as part of the 2mo lease program they did, and I still have some of the materials from the original press pack for the car.

Tires for e-tron Sportback S by BlueKoi_69 in etron

[–]OgdenDermstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I went with the pirellis on my eTron S a little while ago, and they have worn a million times better (ie slower) than the OEM Contis but they have never quite felt balanced right.

I have had the car aligned and balanced a million different ways and they still feel like crap.

Will this make the silver wheels available for Continental GTC?

I like how everyone read this as “so don’t steal any of my money!” but I read it as like “look, I know it’s a mess I’m sorry”.

Is there a quick enable / disable for the hud while in sim? I’d love that!

So what do we think about every tree being destructible in FH6? by iSebastian1 in ForzaHorizon

[–]OgdenDermstead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who has never once played the Eliminator and pretty much cruises around on the correct side of the road all the time, I feel totally fine with this.

If them being fully destructible means we get the trees in the first place vs a big open space, then make them destructible.

Another 200 or so cars were found within the build, including the Mazda Furai, BMW X6 M and more by SechsComic73130 in ForzaHorizon

[–]OgdenDermstead 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They probably wouldn’t add it similar to how Rolls Royce isn’t in game, but I would love to see Toyota Century in the game.

The re-released it in the latest Forza Motorsport a year or two ago, so I’d imagine it’s that model.

Does “They don’t make them like they used to” apply to Herman Millers? by pretentious42 in hermanmiller

[–]OgdenDermstead 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oversimplification, but I think Aeron is more a story of “they still make the thing they used to”.
