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

so my mom almost got into another accident on my way home from school. she picked me up from school, and we went into the leftmost left turn lane (there were 2, leading into a 3 lane street), and we were right next to a bmw 3 series. when the light turned green to turn, we took a turn in the the leftmost lane on the street we were turning to, but the bmw was getting closer and he was on track to hit us because he didn't know what lane to go into apparently, but luckily my mom honked at the last second and he swerved before he hit us. he was an older black male, maybe in his 60s, and it seemed like he didn't know what he was doing because he was in the lane next to me before turning, but should've turned into the middle or the right lane.

People have been holding off from buying the game because of how buggy its been. I wouldnt exactly be too hopeful of Microsoft being true to their word on refunding when so many people are doing the exact same thing.

 

The last thing youd want to do is spend $100 on a game you didnt like, then not be able to get your money back.

 

The Demo is 5 weeks late.

Yeah, the full game was already release, but the demo was only going to be release now... For some reason.

It's on the latest version. Can't say the same for the GPU's drivers. Hope that fixes it (wouldn't be the first time xD)

I wouldn't say its ugly, but its certainly not pretty... just that aesthetics were not part of the design, its designed strictly for function

You can have guided tours of the Koenigsegg factory. For a very reasonable 250 SEK (30 USD). I think I might have to pay a visit sometime in the future...

Not really a whole lot. Not considering that their cars have such a huge price tag already.

 

It's similar to what Morgan is doing. Just wanting to show off the process to the public.

FH3 needs at least 10gb to perform smoothly and even then it's not a guarantee because it locks CPU0 at 90-100% regardless of what cpu it is .

I have a set. Can get autozone to price match them down to $30 if you show them Walmart website. 

 

I love them. 

i honestly want to put a set on the protege. the current ones suck absolute ass because they don't have good distance at all and they're not bright enough. are they actually good? and how long do they usually last? because the last pair of lights my dad had blew out and they were brighter than stock, but then again, they were bought off ebay.

Is it weird that I haven't seen that problem happen?

 

 

 

 

On another note:

 

 

I went to DMV and passed my Motorcycle permit test, and insured my bike with full coverage today (only $41 a month!)

I went for my first ride today, and had loads of fun, I had two sort of sketchy moments that I corrected and fixed, and I seem to be learning pretty quickly.

 

Also got my new windshield installed on my Ninja!
