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

I hated showing work, took too much time.

I had the same issue in HS. I had one teacher that forced me to show my work,  but the rest just didn't care as long as I got the questions rights.

I've been cooking for almost 15 years and never before have I had sausage literally disintegrate on me like it just did.. The fuck? It's not even supposed to be the crumbly kind of sausage either.

My geometry teacher was cool, he was really strict on your notes and showing at least the basics of your work, but aside from that nobody ever had problems in his class.

Mine was kind of like that he seemed like a nice/cool guy outside of class. But once the class period started it was pretty much all business. No talking, very strict on work, etc.

Mine played music while we worked, and we were allowed to talk. Basically so long as you did your work the atmosphere was calm and friendly.

I just want them to add a 5th Gen Prelude (hasn't been in the series since Forza 4)

 

That and a CRX. The S800 is a great c class car with a K20 swapped in

the prelude is a nice car, though a tad heavy for a 90s-00s honda.

 

and theslaptrain was also disappointed there was no crx in the pack, and wanted to see it in there as well.

Rear wheel All wheel steer though

if forza actually put them in the game, with the AWS system, that would be super cool.

The 4th Gen is in Forza 6, just not Horizon. Would rather see a 5th Gen. If they add the 4th eventually (doubt it) I hope it's at least the version that came with the H22A4

What's the point of 4 wheel steering on a sports car? Does it have something to do with race cars having bad turning radiuses?

Its more about agility. At low speed the rear wheels go opposite the front, at high speed they go the same way so when you change lanes it "crabs" sideways.

Ah I gotcha

I also think they're ugly, but all things considered I almost want one.

I love them so much. I wish I could find one, it's like my car but the 4AGE is in the front (and a lot easier to work on).

Pretty thick steel and my wits are the only thing keeping me safe. I know they don't have any driver assists or safety features, that's why I drive carefully.

 

Also a plus is that since it's red, a lot of people like to look at it (seriously, it's annoying at times) and because it's older and different I usually receive a little more precaution from people since they know I'm there.

Its not your driving you have to be careful nor the color of your car, its the other dumb fucks on the road driving big ass trucks with aftermarket bumpers and winches and cow balls hanging from the hitch, those and car dwelling fucktards too.

Yeah, exactly. I stand out from all these trucks (it's quite funny how much smaller my car is actually) so people are more careful, at least from what I've noticed.

Good luck surviving any significant vehicle crash. Safety standards have improved greatly since your 1800's whatever its called
