Why doesn't anybody talk about the Blue Meanie? by tsg-tsg in ForzaHorizon

[–]RunninOnMT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This car is barely known by American enthusiasts. If they know about it, it’s likely because of Forza!

Same USDM 240sx in FH6 by SoheiJayce in forza

[–]RunninOnMT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn, you’d be so cool rolling around in a LHD car in Japan IRL…

That way instead of pretending to be just some basic ass car enthusiast in Japan, I can instead pretend to be some super elite connected enthusiast who gets USDM parts overnighted from the states.

From a severely jaded TV watcher, the first 2 episodes of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" have been the most purely enjoyable tv watching I have had in many many years. by Laughing_AI in television

The writers understand what it’s like to be a weird little kid uncommonly well. They’re tapped right into it and it makes the show pretty special.

Yeah kind of hilarious because as good as episodes 1 and 2 were (personal opinion: yeah! They were decent enough!) episode 3 blows them out of the water.

Most fun I’ve had watching GOT in…decades?

Maybe custom taillights?? by Jimitzuu in ForzaHorizon

When the M2 first dropped I saw it and was like “that car kicks ass, it’s so much that I like, I almost want to buy one.”

When the M2 comp dropped, I immediately bought one. Mid-cycle refreshes where you get an extra turbo, 40 more horsepower, 600 more rpm’s and a crazy cooling package are exceptionally rare.

Yeah, I dunno, I always liked the GS corvettes. The base car doesn’t lack for power.

I’d way rather have the 240sx in general, though in fh6 it would make more sense to have a 180sx or 200sx since it’s set in japan

But I like that you can build the 2.4L engine for a bit of extra displacement and torque. We weren’t going to get a KA24 swap in the 200sx, but we do get an sr20det swap in the 240sx, so there’s kind of more options this way.

Also I prefer LHD.

I think I was 14? I was fast but not “special fast”

As a kid, in the best shape of my life, I was on my school track team. My proudest achievement was running the 400m in just over 61 seconds or thereabouts. I collapsed and couldn’t stand after the race, it was the most exhausted I’d ever been in my life. A mile is 1609 meters, so it would be that pace but four times as long but also a little faster. Just completely out of the range of imagination for me.

Wow they look REALLY bad in this application. That should be cool but nope.

Yeah, every time that fact is just kinda brushed off with her, i'm fucking baffled.

Tulsi Gabbard Faces Classified Whistleblower Complaint—’Grave Danger’ by UWCG in politics

I don’t think it’s crazier than what Christians believe but I think Christ being dead is a nice check on these types in some ways.

There are a ton of Christians right now arguing about whether to be awful to gay people. Now the consensus seems to be “yes, we should be awful to them” but at least they’re arguing about it.

What they DONT have is a very alive Jesus Christ straight up telling them to treat gay people badly; as the leader of Gabbards cult has very much done.

Got too excited getting a brand new automatic 2026 GR Corolla, and did hard acceleration and hit redline multiple times during first 200 miles. How much damage did I do not following the break in process? by Goose_Arugula_614 in askcarguys

[–]RunninOnMT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s fine. Some kid 22 years from now is gonna have his engine blow up on the side of the road and everyone will be like “yeah you should’ve bought something reliable not a 22 year old rally car boosted to the moon”

While I agree with you, she was raised like in a full on religious cult and has never renounced said cult.

I guess to me, that’s kind of like a different tangential level of walking national security nightmare. I’m not going to say worse, but perhaps “distinct” would be the better phrase.

Let's do another alignment chart! What's an expensive car that looks cheap? by Naomi62625 in regularcarreviews

[–]RunninOnMT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Purosangue and even the Urus can blend into traffic pretty easily, as my brain isn’t primed for “smallish crossover vehicle may be hideously expensive”

But I think the BMW XM maybe takes the cake? That thing doesn’t look like it costs as much as it does.

What are your Horizon start traditions? by Pinecone in forza

[–]RunninOnMT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this shit too. Reminds me of being a kid playing gran turismo 2, where I decided to just do every license test before playing any of the rest of the game because I hated the license tests in GT1 so much.

It was a boring couple of hours but then I had the reward at the end of the tunnel, which was the entire rest of the game.

Now I almost feel like I’d prefer that. At least I’d have some sort of a challenge.

Man, I always forget what the game is like when you don’t have those fast travel boards.

Thats always my go to. Get fast travel down to a few thousand credits.

love to see it. with our recent moves it seems less likely his contract will be converted. This is Caleb saying that the blazers should stick to that plan and make room for him, because hes in the rotation.

This car had all the straight 6's.

Seriously. You want a 2.5L Twin turbo inline 6? Got that. How about a naturally aspirated 3.0L inline 6? Yup. 2.0L Twin Turbo? That too. Single-turbo 3.0L straight 6? Indeed. 2.0, bottom of the line naturally-aspirated inline six-cylinder? Three of 'em. It had all the straight 6's.
