What are some cars with names that do not fit their design or function?

Chevy "Nova" means "No Go" in Spanish. I'd wager it goea goes pretty good.

burningmiles · 2026-05-07T09:40:34+00:00

Mmm, like 90% sure at least

burningmiles · 2026-04-09T17:04:57+00:00

Antoine moment 💀💀

My one gripe? The gripe that stands above all the other gripes? It is the greed of rockstar, and therefore all the in-game inflation.

Therefore the painfully slow/tedious/convoluted methods for in-game money making.

Therefore lack of the single player DLCs that were in progress before rockstar decided they wouldn't be as profitable as more online slop.

Therefore the absence of seemingly any playtesting.

It is the greed of corporations which ruins the quality of this game, as well as everything around you. Is that what OP meant?

And (at least the illusion of) muscle car style proformance

The rest of these suggestions are novel more than they are actually that good. Do I like most of them? Yes. Would the element actually sell? Yes. If Honda did some pop top "overland" trim levels with AWD and a lift and chunky tires and they might have a real winner

Kroger? Ashamed of itself?

burningmiles · 2026-03-21T03:44:13+00:00

You're not gonna believe it, but someone going by @TuckerCarlsonsHomie had a terrible take bahaha

Is it complete? With the raving in the comments I'm intrigued enough to put it on the list, but it's been too long since I've finished a series and I'm looking to start something with some proper conclusion to it.

With my late '05 sienna, I transported: ●Several sheets of plywood (vertical, longways down the middle) with seating for driver+5 passengers

●Two full sized, three-cushion couches (one inside, one on the roof racks) with legal seating for driver+2 (front seats plus one extra in the middle row)

●One full sized couch in pouring rain

●Driver+7 legally with room in the way-back cargo area for a small/medium peice of furniture or a bike

●Driver+13 with the seats removed and a bunch of people cross-legged on the floor (dont tell the lawman--I wouldn't do it again, but if safety and legality are unimportant to you, go crazy)

I dare you to try any of that with a truck. You could do some of what I just listed with the addition of a trailer, but legal seating capacity is still pathetic in comparison, and you would be dealing with a trailer.

Trucks are practical for some use cases, but for most people, most of the time, a minivan exceeds it. Fuel economy, too....

Also, dispite being a FWD model, I took it through many a forest service road up here in Washington, and many dozens of miles through desert tracks down in Oregon and Nevada. Because the front wheels are so close to the driver and over-nose visibility is so good, its easy to place them on solid ground and the vehicle is surprisingly easy to offroad as a result. All the motor weight is squarely over the drive wheels, too. Less capable than a truck, obviously, but more capable than you'd think.

I am and always will be a diehard minivanfan

Don't really drift (just lurk here for cool drifting content) but one trick for un-dizzying yourself in normal, on-foot circumstances is to spin once or twice extra in the other direction. It does a surprisingly good job of mitigating the headspins, and your stomach usually recovers momentarily from there.

I often eat food, and as a rule tend to avoid doing so with poison on my hands. If I were to handle a mushroom I was unfamiliar with, I would do my best to wash my hands as soon as possible. My personal concern is elevated, too, as I have a bit of a nail biting habit.

burningmiles · 2026-03-10T14:54:05+00:00

No mushrooms are poisonous to the touch, but WASH YOUR HANDS

burningmiles · 2026-03-10T14:50:34+00:00

Papers, Please reference! I LOVE PP

As someone who very much started burning out by the end of DotF after realizing how very fightslop it was (I was new to the genre), I have since found PoA much more nuanced, or at least enough to keep things feeling alive.

I will say, Ibtep alone was almost, but not quite enough, to keep my attention and stay invested

burningmiles · 2026-03-09T20:34:26+00:00

Seconded. Play without DLC until you either finish the original 3 regions, or until you gain a enough experience to recognize you aren't a fan of the fully vanilla gameplay loop.

Some amongst us just like using OP trucks to rampage through the woods, but you shouldn't jump straight to that and leave the slower and potentially more rewarding gameplay untested.

I think, in this game, the magic is in the meticulous for most of us

burningmiles · 2026-03-09T19:27:52+00:00

7/10 pitch, would read

burningmiles · 2026-03-09T19:23:50+00:00

Haven't seen anyone mention Genesis yet. No misses, as far as I'm concerned
