I'd like a little more modern bike surrounding it - '70s-'80s "standard" bike, maybe, but that awesome as-is. edit: Oh, hey, welcome to page 9-0-1, friends.

I got in on the early access right at the beginning, and while it's come a long way in those three years it took some design turns that I'm not 100% pleased with.

Just treat it like a modern successor to the PS1 Destruction Derby games, pretty much. That's what it ended up being.

If you go to GreenManGaming http://www.greenmangaming.com and use their JUNE20 discount code you can get Wreckfest for $35.99. It's not perfect, but it's a decent successor to the FlatOut games imo.

Because I can just replay those forever instead, and FO2 in particular is utterly perfect for multiplayer destruction derby.

I'm just going to assume a wormhole briefly opened up and spewed out a 10mm socket.

The only Snap-On tool I have is a 10mm socket I found wedged in the exhaust heatshield of my 97 Outback. I mean, had, because I've since lost it.

I have never lost a 10mm socket even though I'm ridiculously unorganized. I lost a 10mm crescent wrench once, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong by still having all 5 of my sockets

The graphics are fantastic, as is the damage modeling. I'm going on my first campaign playthrough, but I'm really enjoying it. I'd say it's worth grabbing on a sale.

TheMadMilkman posted:I technically didn't lose my last 10mm socket. It's still there, inside the minivan sliding door. In the Autumn of 1999, I spent about 30 hours looking for the source of a weird faint grinding noise in a new-ish Mazda 626. I took half of the car apart, borrowed a chassis microphone and drove the car around with the front panels off, and ended up narrowing it down to the driver's door by driving the car around without said door installed. It turned out to be a two-dollar coin that the owner (or possibly their child) had dropped down the crack the door glass retracts into, rolling backwards and forwards at the base of the door. We couldn't get it out, because there's a tiny little gully at the bottom of those doors that is about 2mm thicker than the coin itself - you're never getting a tool down there to get it, and the coins aren't ferrous so a magnet wouldn't have worked. We ended up just using a straw on the end of a tube of silicon sealant to glue it into place. Then we presented the owner with a bill for all 30-odd hours of my time, 10-odd hours of my apprentice's time and various shop sundries. The car was only 18 months old at the time and he kicked up a huge stink saying it should be under warranty. He ended up paying, yelling about how we were crooks and he was never bringing his car back again. He brought his car back six months later for a regular service, because he had cheap servicing as part of buying the car from the dealership I worked at. Funny how that works out.

You couldn’t turn the door upside down and shake the poo poo out of it? I’m sure you couldn’t for a reason but I’m just struggling to picture how it could have fallen in there with no possible way of getting it out

The GF 626 that we got here from 97-02 was a really solid car. It was boring as poo poo - basically a cardigan on wheels, but it was solid, reliable and very well made. The first series of the 6 was pretty bad compared to it - we rebuilt rear brake calipers, and replaced ABS pumps and front window regulators as recalls in the first ~18 months. It was always fun explaining to someone who brought their car in for the 10,000km service that we needed to keep the car all day to do a major recall on it. 30 years ago puts your mother into GD or maybe even GC territory. They were... not good. There was a coolant tube on the back of the head (under the intake manifold) on the GD that loved popping off and blasting all of your coolant onto the ground. It seemed like it was a lot higher pressure than it should have been. Standard Mazda service when replacing the head gasket was to replace that tube and replace the spring hose clamps with worm gear clamps as well. Because there's nothing worse in the dealership game than seeing the car you just replaced the head gasket on come back on a tow truck the very next day.

My 6 is a first gen 6. Oddly few issues with it, outside of my window motors deciding they just don't want to work half the time.

My capri is based on a BF 323 from the same era, using the same engine as low spec 626's, and boy it is sure a car. Everything rattles, everything. I'm shocked that the trim around the radio hasn't shaken itself loose yet from all of the vibrations. If all of the mechanicals and horrible interior weren't attached to a convertible, it would be even more boring and uninspiring than my xA. It's more reliable than a higher spec 626, at least I guess I shouldn't blame Mazda without throwing some blame at Ford, as it has nearly the same dash and steering wheel as a Mercury Sable, just the seats, shifter and center console out of a BF Familia Cabriolet
