I answered this one while half asleep and also incredibly high, which is why my answer for 17 is loving stupid as poo poo.

The Door Frame posted:Objectively wrong CannonFodder posted:Floaty rear end go cart I wasn't even thinking of the beach buggy, I was thinking of the ones laying around that you could bounce into things with the gravity gun. To be honest I kind of quit gaming around 2005 except for nostalgic first person shooters like the Doom reboots. I've never even played GTA, ever. Speaking of games, one of my favorite things to do after I'm bored with a game was to go back and put in a cheat code to give you some massive weapon and play with it from the beginning. Like Far Cry with a sniper rifle and infinite ammo, or quake with a rail gun or chaingun and infinite ammo. But I never did that with Half-Life 2, I wonder if it's even possible to get the turbo gravity gun with a cheat code.

Snow runner was also a pro answer, I'm playing through Mudrunner at the moment, trying to beat every map with the lowest-point trucks. Trying to navigate muddy roads and ford rivers in an rear end-old Soviet farm truck on road tires, while fully loaded and dragging a huge trailer requires dedication and a gentle throttle foot. And a bit of winching, of course.

Question 19: France has an incredibly rich history of small, boutique car manufacturers. This is the brand that, with an infinite amount of money, I would revive today.   Question 20: The COVID-19 pandemic will change the world in a lot of ways. This is probably the biggest change the pandemic will have on the automotive world.    Answers soon...

MrChips posted:Built-in sanitisation and more cabin air filtration - 4 Was gonna say this, but forgot. Built in UV sanitizer pocket for your mask / storage for hand sanitizer, etc. The Subaru dealer actually told me they're selling more because people aren't using public transit, but I live in techbro country. Also for 19 I was tempted to say Bugatti, the original, back under the French, but the Italians have done well enough with them I think. I honestly just looked through wikipedia as somebody said and found a company that sounded neat / had neat looking cars. Also AI mods as winners -- it's only natural.

The racing sucks, the cars arent that interesting, its got godawful gimmicks, they are boring to watch and the tracks are crap. gently caress Formula E forever If you want actual good EV racing the developing EV rallycross classes is looking the goods with far more interesting and wild cars. EV drift cars or hillclimbers also are ridiculously awesome. And also those cars are pushing EV tech harder Cool EV circuit racing will happen when engineers are let off the chain rather than a spec series

Of all the questions, I did not expect to wolf both "automation" as best car game and "windshield wipers" as best safety device. q19, I knew my answer to BEFORE wikipedia. 20 was 'death of the company car' which I am 100% ok with being grouped into the sheep answer. But windshield wipers. Folks. You never been without. I would ABSOLUTELY drive without seatbelts AND headlights before driving without wipers.

I have driven multiple cars without functioning wipers during the rain. It's all about speed, windshield shape, and overall aerodynamics, because my Capri can clear moderate rain at >35mph without need for wipers, the xA can never clear the rain, the X1/9 was >50mph, the Civic was >65mph, I never had to try the Focus, and the Windstar couldn't clear the rain either Why have I run into wipers issues so many different times on so many different cars?
