I'd buy that for a dollar 👍That's one mad restomod. I think it's worth posting the picture since many people will probably underestimate how mad it looks:

I feel your pain bud. I got placed with 3 or 4 drivers whose gene pool was clearly mixed with a combination of Stevie Wonder and Johnny Knoxville. Thankfully the A.I were poor or we wouldn't have stood a chance.The Trial was particularly brutal this week for me, took five attempts to get a team that weren't blowing the final race by missing checkpoints.
I got a decent team myself on the first attempt, easy 2 wins.The Trial was particularly brutal this week for me, took five attempts to get a team that weren't blowing the final race by missing checkpoints.
The trial was particullary savage this time. The first race was kinda ok, we won by a fairly large margin. In the second race, everyones brains somehow switched back to their neanderthal basic setting and they were swerving all over the road. Punting players and AI of the road left and right. I quit after 2 laps after being pushed off the road once and into a barrier twice 🙄I got a decent team myself on the first attempt, easy 2 wins.
However while I effortlessly won race 1 in my Cayman GT4, in the second race as I was overtaking a player he punted me off the (straight) road just before a checkpoint, so I became one of those missed checkpoint guys myself
I love the livery on the 1970-1990 Beetle. To my eyes it works very well in yellow but doesn't work in green for some reason.I thought it would be fun to share this color chart of Mexico City's taxis over time.

Notice that the Beetle cabs driving around are stuck in the gold/maroon scheme because they're were scrapped by the time of the white/pink era, dominated by the Tsuru.
Yeah, the yellow ones, which I recall from my childhood, really popped. The green ones were rather dull, and the white/pinks are just trying to survive in this ride share era.I love the livery on the 1970-1990 Beetle.

They can't easily do that. The best you can do is an unlicensed version with edited grilles or other details, or a horribly modeled one at worst.Would love for AI traffic to get updated. It'd be nice to see Tsurus driving around, and instead of F150 Raptors, have the old 80s model F150 that got added a while back as traffic instead.
What do you mean by that? How would it be any different to now?They can't easily do that. The best you can do is an unlicensed version with edited grilles or other details, or a horribly modeled one at worst.
I can understand what you were going through. If you can´t find any joy in a thing that you loved and devoted so much time for, than it´s time to walk away. Hope you can find the joy in gaming againI just uninstalled FH5.
Sorry for complaining. However, I wanted someone to hear how I felt. thank you.
You've lost the love for something you once loved, and that's a horrible feeling. Every feeling you described is there after love dies.I just uninstalled FH5.
I did not hate this game. But it has worn me out.
For the 8 years looking back since FH3 (well, technically Forzathon started in the middle of FH3, but I don't even remember that exact time anymore), I have always kept up with the Forzathon/Playlist of this series. Not to brag, but I had every exclusive car from FH3 to FH5 except the ones inaccessible from my area. That's a testament to the seriousness with which I took the series.
But for the last 6 months or so I was already tired of the endless FOMO of this game.
Once a week I fire up the game and do the playlist with a sinking feeling. I wish it were easy to complete, but sometimes this "chore" can last several hours, mainly due to the rubber band AI going crazy.
And when I finish the playlist I am so exhausted and fed up with continuing this game any longer that I quit the game and turn off the Xbox without even checking my newly acquired car.
I have one emotion at this point. "Oh, now I don't have to play this game for a few more days."
These days constantly made me question whether there was any reason to continue playing this game any longer.
A game I don't want to play. A car that I never even drive, even though I've taken the trouble to acquire it. The uncomfortable and painful time that awaits me every week. I wondered why I was playing this game.
And I was playing the playlist just now.
Because as a Hyundai freak, the Elantra appeals to me. And the Prostock Camaro.
Those cars must have been an attractive carrot for the "horse" that is me. But for some reason, my mind reached a breaking point along the way.
It wasn't that the AI beat me down. It wasn't that the game crashed. I don't feel any anger or hatred toward the game. Something quietly went out, like extinguishing a candle.
I immediately retired from the race and uninstalled FH5 from my Xbox.
It might have been easier if I had thought, "Yippee-ki-yay! I finally uninstalled this s****y game!"
But for some reason, I don't have any positive feelings in my heart. In fact, I feel guilty as if I quit my job for selfish reasons. And also the emptiness of losing something important.
I get almost 200 GB of free space on my Xbox HDD now. In this space I could install my favorite games and enjoy them in a more positive way.
But I don't have the energy for that anymore. All I have left is confusion about my choices and the nearly 20 years I have spent with Forza.
I have been an avid fan of the Forza series since FM1. And when one by one my friends got tired of FOMO and left Forza, I continued to play alone.
But I finally retired too.
For me, Forza was the series to which I devoted my life more than any other game series. Was this the right end? I just don't know.
Sorry for complaining. However, I wanted someone to hear how I felt. thank you.
It's live service. Why else do you think this game, alongside over 500 different examples as mentioned on the FM23 discussion, suggest otherwise? We've now accepted the era where live service games have dominated the market and there's very few games that are done in the finished state.I just uninstalled FH5.

This is why come-and-go mechanics, particularly with FH5 and FM8 seriously need to stop. None of this should even be present in a potential FH6 as well.I just uninstalled FH5.

Back to the restomods - Chris Harris doing them justice as a car nerd:
- Alfaholics GTA-R 300 (all carbon bodied latest version)
- Tuthill 911 SCRS (looks less impressive outwardly than the Singer, more untouched)
We all know why the weekly playlist exists: It's to ensure user retention and achieve good Gamepass statistics, so Microsoft will keep supporting the PG team and the current and future Horizon games. The question then becomes: What other ways of guaranteeing large scale user retention week after week are suitable alternatives?AS AN ONLINE, MULTIPLAYER GAME I do like new content being added every week instead of what you get the game comes out being all you ever get. I love a lot of the concepts behind Forza Horizon at this point. If you get tired of racing the same old tracks, you can always play user-made tracks. Dissatisfied with user made tracks? Make your own! Tired of racing altogether? Go driving off across the desert! Trailblazers! Stunt ramps! Drift! Tune some cars! Paint some cars! Collect cars! Play the auction house! This, I think, is Forza Horizon's strength. So long as you're interested in cars in some form, you can usually find something to do so long as your focus isn't too narrow. Having easy access to the stadium stunt park would be nice as well.
And now we come to what I don't like.
Exclusivity, and 'forgotten' cars. Want that arbitrarily rare car that was, in reality, mass produced for fifty years? Nope, out of luck. You can only ever get one copy of it because...reasons! Want to keep a stock one, a racing one, and a rally one? Nope. How about that muscle car that they only had on the playlist once eight months ago? Nope. Anyone willing to auction one already did long ago. I, myself, am missing the Sierra 700whatever, a car I will admittedly never, ever, ever use, and wasted a lot of time checking the auction house after I missed it before I gave up on it. Locking away cars essentially forever. In a car game. Why is this even a thing?
The weekly chore list.
It's dull, it's repetitive. It's freaking boring. Yeah, I get it, you want to keep people coming back to play your game. This is an annoying way to do it. I have a confession to make. A couple months ago, at the beginning of the European Car series, I just...stopped doing the playlist. I stopped. It was like a weight was lifted from my back. I'm free! I no longer dread thursday. I no longer have to waste an hour and a half doing a bunch of chores every week to get a car I have zero interest in that will sit untouched in my garage forever, unless some arbitrary part of a future chorelist requires it. Not to mention the occasional difficulty spike because of bad decision making on the part of whoever comes up with this crap.
