At least you have a test mule now, spooble. I finally cloned my Van of Pure Awesome, so I'm gonna paint it pink and tune it up.

I can respect the thought of unique cars, but since there are such dramatic differences in driver ability, I do like seeing how different drivers treat the same car. Make yourself happy.

I don't know that there are any older Focuses. Or Foci.

There is no pre '02 Ford Focus but there is the Ford Ka...which is garbage. However so isn't the Mirage...but mostly because the transmission is garbage. It has a 4 spd tranny with a top speed of 170.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Focus...duh! Meant Yaris because I have a Euro Sport model that fits.

 

[pyxen]

Green certainly is the winning colour! Pink is for my test car. It's very pretty.

Nothing is better than black...

 

[pyxen]

Maybe.. But green is still 5 seconds faster..

It seems a schlitterbahn of people are changing their car?

A waterpark of people?

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Yeah, and that'll suck for those people that want to be unique.

I've added a penalties section to the first post. I'll add more penalties as I think of them.


Penalties

• Flagrant use of track runoff areas will result in a half second penalty for each infraction.
• Cars that fail to meet inspection will result in disqualification from the previous race.
• Drivers that bump another car off their line and do not immediately give back any position gained from the accident, will get a time penalty equal to the difference in lap times of the cars involved.

It would be nice if the game did a better job of this itself. The penalties system in the game is just stupid. Take for example runoffs. If you go wide because you've messed it up, or to avoid traffic, then I don't care. If you make a habit of going wide to keep your speed up, then that should be an infraction. The game can't tell the difference.

Have you heard this? 3 out of 4 people now believe in Angels. What are they 🤬 nuts? Angels...what about golblins. You never hear about them except on Halloween and its always negative. And Zombies...where the 🤬 are all the zombies?? Thats the problem with Zombies...they're unreliable. I say if you're going to buy the angel 🤬 you might as well go for the Zombie package as well!

I'm going trick or treating! It's great to act like a special Ed student

Act like?

 

[BTK]

Act like?

Yes, though the public might view Ky as lower class hillbillies. I DO wear shoes, and I DO go to school.

 

[pyxen]

Lower class hillbilly school... ? LOL

 

[BTK]

Lower middle class.

 

[pyxen]

shoulda guessed since you do 'the maths'... Must be nice to be part of the 1%, eh? hehe

 

[BTK]

Yes! Finally. Took all that time for you to say eh! I win!

 

[pyxen]

Lol...ok sure

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Nobody wins if they're stick in Ky.

I win!

 

[dabneyd]

Nobody wins if they're stick in Ky.

I win!

Are you saying that Bowtie is a stick? From a family of trees?

So, a good portion of the Northeast is without power after a freak October snow storm. Reports are staying it could be a week before I get power restored. So I guess that may leave me screwed for the season if I start out with a big "0" in the books.

You need to get a generator, son!

 

[chuyler1]

I would...but there isn't one to be found in all of New England. We planned to get one this year too, but we need to hire an electrician to configure our electric box. The in-laws have one so we're staying with them. However, cable/phone lines are out of commission too so even if I had power, I'd have no way to connect to the internet.

 

[dabneyd]

Ah, I see. I can ship you one from here; there are plenty. I suppose I was lucky during the last hurricane, my internet connection worked fine as long as the outside network connection had power. Conveniently it plugs into the same power strip my router and switch are plugged in to.

Can you get someone else to drive your car tomorrow night?

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Response to earlier remark.

@Pyxen-Yes he is a tree and in his shade shall the tired rest. Be one with nature and he in turn will be one with you.

 

[chuyler1]

Good question. Are there any reserves willing to drive my wonderful Isuzu?

I can't send the car since I can't get online, but its bone stock with no parts...I'm sure someone else has one that a driver could borrow.
