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

Anyone else super excited for the Snow expansion for Horizon 3? I can't wait to get ahold of that and do some snow photography with some Subarus :x

 

Only car that would make the game better is a BB6 (Hasn't been in Forza since Forza 4?) I know the BB2 was in Forza 6, but no Preludes in Horizon 3 sadly.

i just want the e39 m5 in forza horizon 3. then it's a definite seller for me. the e39 m5 was in fm5 and fm6, but not in any horizon game. :( its like forza doesn't care about this somewhat unknown car in horizon.

something wrong with your old name? I'll erase my last post if you want. Even though I have no idea how a name could affect you in such a way

Did the NSX run the red light or the SUV?

 

Also, can someone help me out here: I, for some reason, put a new steering wheel (Fanatec CSL) on my Christmas List as #1 and it went on sale for $400 Black Friday weekend. I think that became my Christmas gift since it was only $400, but I've now come to my senses and my TMX is enough.

 

Is there a way to ask for something different, or should I just be okay with it? I don't know if that's what it is, but it's very likely.

 

The NSX had a green, the Lexus ran the red. There was no chance the NSX could have slowed down in time once he saw the Lexus.

 

The TMX is more than enough for a $400 budget. Thrustmaster accessories are much more affordable and readily available than Fanatec, and the first thing you'll want to upgrade is the pedals anyways - the T3PA set should also be on your list.

You're mistaken. I already have the TMX.

 

I accidentally put the Fanatec on my list even though I didn't want it, and now I think they've purchased it because it was on sale. And now I am stuck with it, so I was wondering if you guys had a way for me to try to like say no ya know.

 

If not then that's fine, I will appreciate the Fanatec, but I won't use it as much as other things on my list.

Ah... well if you're worried they bought it, then it wouldnt hurt to ask if you really dont want another wheel. If not you can always sell it afterwards, but thats more work.

Yeah...I just don't know. I really don't want it as much as something else, but I don't want to be like, "Hey, I don't want this." 

 

At the same time I don't want to receive it on Christmas and then only use it every so often. I just feel bad to say I don't want it after they've gone through so much work and spent so much money to get it. I don't want them to be disappointed either, because they do so much for me and it's really a very nice gift.

 

I just feel greedy thinking about it all.

just use the christmas gift and sell your TMX? or maybe give the TMX to someone you know? maybe a relative, or a friend, or even as a last result, one of use car thread members?

The TMX would definitely go lol and I would use the gift, but as much as I like using the wheel and playing racing games I just don't do it as often as I sit in a chair or talk to other people.

 

But hey, now that you have me thinking about it, I guess I would use it more than I thought.

so you'll essentially have 2 sets of steering wheels?

No, I said the TMX would go. As in, I would get rid of it one way or another.

i say you give it away to one of us loyal car thread members. :D

 

 

unless you already thought of something already, in that case, do it.
