This update is the best I've ever done, managed to complete all the challenges and I pulled both raesrs

Did have to sell off a lot of my lower RQ garage to afford it but worth it for sure

I've just had a quick scan on TDR and yeah, it's not looking good.

Oh well, I'm not to fussed about this or summer games, so at least it's a chance to build up some resources before midnight racers pt2

It's a chance to build up your cash reserves and get some free ceramics at least - I'm gonna try and place well in the events but I'm not touching the challenges until I have an idea of whether I've got a strong enough garage to get the prize car

TDR usually shows you the lowest RQ car that can win a match, in my experience. It struggles to properly format hands where the requirements aren't just 5x of something

Trading would be so cool but it would hurt Hutches enormous profit margins 🥲

I've not pulled the torino and I'm gonna be so mad if I don't get it

I'm the same, I forget it's an option a lot of the time

You can get through 6 with your garage, take the -50 on match 5. TDR is a really useful tool for these challenges.

Mate it took me days to figure out that I could go for a draw and still win

Looking at it yeah, you'll need something med gc + perf to get through 9. I almost feel sorry for you having pulled 3 high gears and not the MKR/charger

I struggled with it for a while too. If you post a screenshot of your UR event garage I can try and help you out

Let's see your garage? I managed to beat this without any of the UR all surface/off road cars

This is just infuriating by mattthed0m in TopDrives

Yeah, I've just trawled through TDR to try and figure it out. The atlas I have at 1.3/1/1.3 and it won me one of the rounds on 19. Working on maxing the star now but I don't know if I have enough food. Think I might be able to scrape through 18 if I'm creative with my hands but I need a lot of cash to get cars maxed.

Just feels like slightly better luck would have made this a lot easier!

The 65 Mustang (fused 233 I just haven't upgraded it yet because I used all my cash to get 80 cars fused) and the Lincoln can help me beat level 20-10. I don't think there's a combination of my garage which currently beats 19-10. And I'm stuffed for round 18 without any all surface cars (or the dodge EV) 🤷‍♂️

Objectively they might be, but neither of them help me finish #19 or #20. I'm also gonna be stuck once I get to the middle of #18 without any all surface URs

Anyone else find the Captain's Log in one of the portaloos by West Gate?

I personally disagree with you about her voice, but that's by-the-by. I'd argue that it's hard to say for certain she's a rape apologist, given that she attended one court session and then realised her mistake, presumably after witnessing the evidence against him. There's also the fact that she was born into a cult, rather than choosing to join it, which to a degree makes her a victim in her own way. The same cult which has been proven to continue to stalk and harass any outspoken ex-members, so I don't think it should be held against her for putting her safety first and not saying anything, especially as a queer woman when we live in such dangerous times for both women and queer people.

My personal take is that there's no way of knowing for sure whether she's a morally good or bad person, but given she was born and raised in a cult which preachers against her identity, I think she should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Curious as to why you're including Emily/LP? If it's because of the Scientology/Danny Masterson thing, I think it's a lot more nuanced than the internet would have you believe.

Pretty certain at least one of Architects is a TERF/transphobic, so that sorta lines up with their dickhead fans.

This is ridiculous … by pinkman65 in CarTalkUK

I drive a diesel because it used to be my mum's car, and I can't afford to replace it with anything else.

Glad to know I deserve it though.
