Picked up a new (to me) one last week. Not the exact model they based the GTA car from but it is a full size Station Wagon. 1995 Chevy Caprice. Light Driftwood Metallic and Tan interior. Needs some TLC but is a straight, solid and nearly rust free ride. I had one before but sold it back in 2014 because it was a rusty mess. Ordered a new carpet set for it that will be here Friday, so I know what I'll be doing all weekend. Also putting a new headliner in it and have to remove the bad tint on the windows. Also I am not able to own a car that is quiet so the exhaust is being changed out as well.

I gotta put some new headers on my S10, one of the current headers on it were cracked when I got it, I welded it but now it is cracked around the weld so I am gonna put a new set on it to solve the problem. Debating on Hooker or Hedman headers, not sure if it really makes a difference on brand as far as those 2 go, both are reputable companies. As far as the style of header there isn't much option in S10 V8 headers. Does anyone know if say a Hooker fits better than Hedman usually or the other way around? The real question though is mufflers, I currently have Flowmasters on it, I love the way it sounds most of the time, at about 45 to 50mph they resonate reall…

Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018

So, Saturday the 14th of July @PretendWereDead and I went to Goodwood for one day of Festival of Speed. It was a lot of fun and I soon discovered that one day of FoS is far from enough to see and do everything that is possible there. Especially if you want to see the classic cars, the super cars, the concept cars, the F1 cars, rally, hillclimb, dragster bikes, nascars, indycars, rally raid, Le Mans, motorcycles, etc etc. It's pretty mind blowing. Also, when you want to see them standing still AND driving, you have to split yourself in two... And then I'm not even talking about driving experiences, the separate rally stage, a full car expo with the current line-up p…

GM/Chevy should be embarrassed by this new version of the Blazer. They should have done it like they did in the old days and base it off of the Silverado and a 4 cylinder should not even be an option

Can you drive stick?

My oldest kid will start driving classes this school year and being these days and times I doubt he'll be learning to drive with a clutch. I've always known how to drive a stick, I probably learned when I was about 10 how to do it. I plan to teach him in our dump truck as it's the only thing we have with manual transmission, plus if he can learn to split shift those 10 gears he can drive a car or pickup.

So what is your preferred auto maker 1 2

I looked thinking this had been asked but I guys it hasn't, but what/who is your preferred auto maker, should be interesting as around here you are either for Chevy, Ford or Dodge but with other countries involved might be some stuff some have never heard of. Also add why you like that over others. I am a Chevy guy (well, really Pontiac but that hasn't been viable for a long time), it's what I grew up with, always suped up 350's and 427's, even stroked out a 283 once, that was a good running little motor. Dad would have shot me if I brought home anything without a bowtie emblem. I have had 3 Ford's in my life, never had issue with them (except the Mustan…

Do we have any Formula One fans amongst us? The 2015 season is only a month away! I'm a huge fan, will be supporting the local drivers. I'm hoping my local team makes it to the grid this year but as they are deep in administration it's looking unlikely. So far after pre-season testing the Ferrari's are looking quick, Alonso could have made his move back to McLaren at precisely the wrong time while Vettel the golden boy could have landed on his feet. Mercedes are looking unbeatable again though, I can't see any other team taking the championships although there is still nothing to choose from between Hamilton & Rosberg Red Bull could be the start of a d…

XDBX NASCAR Discussion Thread How about a little discussion thread for NASCAR Fans. There has been some big news in NASCAR so far this year. We've only seen 1 race so far, and the Newsstands are buzzing with NASCAR drama already. We've seen some drivers move to new teams, new sponsors have come into the sport. Some sponsors have left. NASCAR has changed the race package on the cars to make for "Better Entertainment" How about: Jeff Gordon is running his last full season in a Cup Car. Kurt Busch has been suspended from NASCAR indefinitely. Kyle Busch suffered a compound fracture in his leg from a crash during the Xfinity Series race the day …

215Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Subservience (2024) dir S.K. Dale Yet another mediocre sci-fi / thriller about AI and human-like robots. Michele Morrone plays Nick, a happily married father of 2 young children, struggling to raise them and do his construction site job since his wife (Madeline Zima) is seriously ill in hospital waiting for a heart transplant. So he buys Alice (Megan Fox), an almost completely life-like home-help / childcare / cook / cleaner robot. There are other similar robots working in many places such as hospitals, bars and construction sites (adding an additional plot element). Without spoilers (although IMHO there really isn't much to spoil) it's hard to say much more. But “stuff happens”, somewhat predictably if you consider the situation of wife in hospital, very hot nanny / maid robot at home etc etc. What is interesting is Alice starts to deviate from what she has been programmed to do, there's tensions with respect to a former colleague of Nick's, and these both lead to a reasonable action style tense ending with fights, shoot-outs and car chases. But overall it can only be described as OK. If you want action then watch an action film with more action than this. If you want drama then watch a drama film with more a more meaningful plot and better acting than this. There's some holes in the plot for me. Other than the robots it looks like present day. There is no other indication that this has to be either somewhat in the future or set in an alternative higher-tech reality. Nick's wife needs a new heart; if they have the technology to make such like-like robots (i.e. one that looks exactly like Megan Fox) then surely they would have mastered artificial organs for humans. Some of the other robots are too lifelike. I can understand Alice's appearance since she is designed to live in a home, although you might want to make such robots a bit less physically tempting a straight male owner. But there's no reason an entire synthetic construction site crew need to actually look like the humans' they replaced. And also no reason for them not be working constantly (the scene we encountered these is when they have been locked away for the night). There's one truly ridiculous aspect for me, for which I have knocked off another point for stupid prudishness. It has couple of mild s*x scenes. In one you can clearly see the actors are naked but without any full-frontal nudity. At one point the woman's breasts are briefly shown, but she has no n*pples! They must have been digitally removed. Why!? It's got enough to make it a 15 certificate, showing a couple of n*pples is surely not going to change that! There is one interesting plot element, but I have to put that with a spoiler warning. 4 / 10- 2
