    Id follows Crytek, Lucas Arts

    Frankly, the only developers I see crying they're victims of piracy and moving to consoles are the ones releasing mediocre games and looking for excuses as to why they weren't smashing successes. The developers that create great games seem to be quite pleased with how they're selling on the...

    How to really have fun with your F1 car

    I find that mostly amazing because with DOT legal competition tires on my car (Nitto NT555RII), my car won't budge with even a quarter inch of snow on the ground. On the flip side, those tires perform amazingly well on hard packed dirt roads. I drive the road to our family camp like most...

    what is this

    Yearly income is irrelevant. Disposable income is all that really matters. Calculate your monthly balance, how much cash is left over? What other goals do you have. Are you putting an adequate amount into retirement? Do you intend to buy a house in the future, saving for that? Do you...

    Recommend me a set of tires plz! Not sure if I want summer or all seasons

    A decent summer tire will put even the best all-season to shame. You'll also be lucky to get two years worth of driving out of them, less if you drive a lot (About 20k miles is what you should expect from a decent summer tire). A cheap summer tire won't be much better than the best all-season...

    Well I'm not dead :)

    This was the result of a 30mph lowside when another car forced me to the inside of the curb and a bunch of winter sand while going through a 2 lane right hand turn at an intersection. Pic1 Pic2 It was completely obvious to me that she knew I was there, because the very moment my front end...

    Smoking Brakes?

    Significant, eh? Significant in my book is being capable of stopping from 60-0 in less than 120ft, with street tires. Less than 100ft with competition tires. I've never actually tried it, but I don't see the average street car stopping from 60-0, with ONLY engine braking, in any less than...

    Smoking Brakes?

    I am only wrong when my comments are taken out of context. I said engine braking was pointless. That comment was made in response to a post that was recommending engine braking to the OP apparently as a means to prevent the brake smoking that occurred as a result of his spirited driving...

    Smoking Brakes?

    So, to be perfectly clear, you're in complete agreement with what LTC8K6 wrote with regards to the OPs scenario?

    Smoking Brakes?

    Of course you don't. On the track, it simply isn't possible to NOT use engine braking. If you're heel/toeing to keep the engine within it's optimal powerband, you are going to get some engine braking whether you want it or not. Since it's unavoidable, you have to be able to control it. That...

    Smoking Brakes?

    Apparently the term 'spirited driving' is foreign to you, so let's put it in more plain english. When driving fast and aggressively, engine braking is pointless.

    EVE!

    Main city? You mean main system? No, JITA isn't super laggy the way it used to be. You're still going to experience some sluggishness in high traffic systems, but it's trivial compared to how it was in the past.

    Anyone took defensive driving course to reduce insurance?

    No. I took one just to keep my license. At that point, it had no impact on my insurance whatsoever.

    Well I'm not dead :)

    Those will be fine for protecting your noggin from any serious impact, but they aren't going to protect your face any. I'll post some pics of what my helmet looked like after my last crash when I get home tonight. I'm very glad the helmet took the damage as opposed to my face.

    Smoking Brakes?

    If he was braking hard enough to overheat his brakes, then any amount of engine braking would have been trivial. Engine braking really only applies to light braking scenarios. In more spirited driving, the engine can't even remotely compete with the vehicles brake system.

    Oil change trouble

    If the drain plug was reinstalled while everything was still warm or hot, and you tried to remove the drain plug while it was cold, it will be tougher to remove. If it was overtightened even a bit, it will be a LOT tougher to remove. I follow a very exact routine every time I change my oil...

    Porsche owner sues Bridgewater Circuit City, claiming $50,000 damage to car

    Don't worry, I have no interest in your 'family jewels'. I can't guarantee you'll get the same lack of interest from some back alley mugger though.

    Porsche owner sues Bridgewater Circuit City, claiming $50,000 damage to car

    I can't? Here's a cold hard fact. Your expectations have absolutely no bearing on the service you get from any given company. There are crappy companies out there. If you think large corporations are exempt from that fact... I feel sorry for you. The simple truth, such expectations do...

    Porsche owner sues Bridgewater Circuit City, claiming $50,000 damage to car

    Perhaps you do, but I certainly don't. As I said, this is the real world, and it absolutely does matter. I do not, for one second, expect some High School dropout making maybe 12 bucks an hour to respect a six-figure valued vehicle. Doing so is extremely naive. You may as well say it...

    Bored with WoW?

    I'll take a second look at it if they provide a free preview. I loved the graphics, I loved the IP, I loved the overall concept, but the gameplay and execution were terrible.

    Need advice on new tires.

    31x10.50 15LT means it's a 31" tall, 10.5" wide tire on a 15" wheel rated for Light Truck duty. Some (maybe most) off road tires use this different format from street tires. That's substantially bigger than any tire that would have come on the truck from the factory as well. Check for a...

    Question about GAP coverage.

    Alternative fuel idea: Very simple: Additional compressed oxygen tank

    That's certainly one of it's benefits, but the primary reason NO2 is more popular in the performance crowd is because it's far cheaper than O2.

    Porsche owner sues Bridgewater Circuit City, claiming $50,000 damage to car

    In a perfect world, there should absolutely be that expectation. We live in the real world though, where places like CC employ low-salary, low-training, low-experience people with little to no personal investment in the business itself, and thus a significantly lower likelihood of respecting...

    This woman driver just pisses me off

    I WISH that was a law that got enforced, but the truth is I've never talked to anyone or heard of anyone getting ticketed for cruising in the passing lane, with the exception of one news story a few years ago about some state troopers in Ohio or Indiana that were issuing tickets for it, and how...

    Have you ever checked out hornblasters.com? I've thought of it myself, but I just couldn't fit even a small one in my car, and I'd probably just get myself in trouble with it.

    Let's reminisce about the olden days.

    First things first. The best thing about the good old days... is that they're gone. With that out of the way. I first started gaming on a C64 as well. Spy vs. Spy, Archon, Bards Tale, and one game in particular that I spent many a nights playing was Roadwar 2000! Then I got a NES...

    This woman driver just pisses me off

    Here's my whole view of the situation, because I deal with this all the time as well. First, only law enforcement officers have any business whatsoever telling me how to drive. The rest of you can just **** off. Second, I've been driving for over 18 years, never had any serious problems...

    L4D: Info updates on new DLC!

    The Valve community has a long history of a dedicated and very competent mod community. Hell, several of their best sellers started out as independant mods. We'll see some good stuff from the mod community for L4D, that's for sure.

    Subaru Impreza WRX + ice + overpass = :(

    That's just common sense, though it doesn't appear to be all that common anymore. The only real difference AWD is going to make is your ability to accelerate. Virtually every single vehicle on the road has all wheel brakes, and front wheel steering. AWD does NOT provide any substantial...

    EVE!

    In general, unless you have full corp support, the safest and quickest way to relocate over a large distance is to sell all your stuff, relocate in a shuttle, and buy everything new around your new home. And if you have full corp support, they'll likely just tell you to sell everything and...

    EVE!

    The majority of PvP setups use at least one or two of those components, if not all three. Also, if you're already in range to web the target, it's unlikely you need mwd at that point. mwd is used to get within that range before they have a chance to warp/jump away. The simple truth is, a...

    Opinions on newer Firebirds?

    I ran all-season tires for a couple years, but they just weren't up to task handling large storms here in New Hampshire. I switched to running winter tires and it is literally a world of difference. I can plod through up to 5" of snow with no problem at all, and above that it's only a problem...

    Opinions on newer Firebirds?

    Actually, I do know what glass etching is, and it's a chemical process that gives the glass a frosted look, usually applied in some sort of pattern or design. What that has to do with cracking/shattering glass though, I have no idea. F-body T-Tops use non-laminated tempered glass. That kind...

    Opinions on newer Firebirds?

    Maybe on 3rd gens, but the 4th gens have a much more rigid chassis. The only time I've seen any chassis issues with 4th gens is from drag racers that are running upwards of 500+hp on drag slicks. Oh, and T-Tops don't crack, they shatter. No such thing as an F-body T-Top cracking.
