Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

idk. i'd buy one, boost the power of the stock motor, until it blows, then i'll swap in something more durable.

 

maybe high center of gravity and skinny tires equals rollover hazard?

 

jesus how does someone pulling over equal gridlock?

I dont think rolling over makes it fast?

like? i just want the game because i've been waiting forever for a successor to rct3, and it just looks so fun, and plus, you're not restricted on what you want to build. it's not entirely a grid system like rct 1,2, and 3 you can have free flowing rides and paths and scenery and it's so cool it adds a degree of realism.

Just really ridiculous parks.

Any tips for how to go about recharging an AC system? I know what I need (R134A) and I know where the port is. But is there anything I need to know specifically? Or is it self explanatory?

i hate how the next gen m5 won't be rwd anymore, nor will it have a manual anymore. that's the sad part. in the future, i would love to own an m5 in a manual still.

this is why i want america to ban self driving cars. america is letting its people be lazy by introducing self driving cars. they need to drive for themselves. i'm sick of people who support it. i definitely will never. it's just gonna be a fad.

Isn't it super CPU intensive? Won't it just wreck your computer? :/

According to GameDebate, my base MacBook Pro 13 from late 2011 can run it. :S

@Maybach123 if youll excuse the mess this is my light setup. If i want more light, i point it at the pc, if i want less i point it more at the wall ;)

Nice giving me some ideas for when I finally finish the watercooling on my pc (parts are finally starting to arrive), I need to figure out a good way to take pictures. 

 

 

 

@chaozbandit what did you use as a backdrop for that model? It looks nearly real. Especially without any points of references.

I agree. The new five series looks a bit tall.

 

I'm excited for it though. It's like 300kg lighter than the previous generation and which is good for the M5 since it's gotten a bit piggy.
