Monster Sanctuary! Scratches the Pokemon itch but way better than any Pokemon game ever has
Monster Sanctuary! Outstanding mix of metroidvania and pokemon sorta game
Sink, motherfucker.
I’d’ve thought mustn’t would be broadly cherished, not reviled!
I heard this in such a clear dunmer accent in my head
An international airline?
Hyundai is killing there too, tho. The N cars look awesome
Taycan has excellent steering feedback, for what it’s worth.
Yup!
Two track days in my Taycan - one at Portland International Raceway, and one at Pacific Raceways.
One rallycross event at Dirtfish in a Fiesta ST
Two day AWD rally racing instruction at Dirtfish (their owm WRX STI sedans)
Several track days in a Cayman at Pacific Raceways and one at The Ridge
And awhile back, track days and autocross in RX-8 and Genesis Coupe. Even a winter autocross in the RX-8 once, which was interesting and challenging.
I totally agree that driving cars for enjoyment which have engaging qualities like three pedals can be that much more enjoyable. And I agree that the Ioniq 5 N offers a really compelling feature for folks like us in their simulated gears - I REALLY wanna try that and I hope the concept spreads to other sporty EVs!
Edit: to answer the start of your post, I can hear which tires are losing grip, which can mean a whole bunch of things, like if the fronts are squealing in a corner I could lift off a tiny bit to shift weight forward and give them more grip, or remember to brake earlier before I hit that same turn on the next lap. Nothing I don’t already intuit from steering wheel feedback and the “butt feel” of inertia, but it’s another dimension of that awareness
Are you sure that’s true for the Taycan?
being on a track and being able to hear what my tires are doing, individually, in the absence of engine and exhaust (and intake) noises, is a pretty cool level of connectedness and engagement.
“I can’t charge at home” should be an easy way to shut down an EV evangelist. That should be a “get out of conversation free” card.
I say that as an EV evangelist myself, and I lived a few years in a condo with an EV and no EV charging in the garage (and adding charging was going to be cost prohibitive if even possible at all due to already crowded infrastructure). It sucked and ain’t nobody got time for that.
Practical cassette winder tool which the added benefit of being able to write on paper AND erase that very same writing!
Jeez, don’t give the data brokers any more ideas!
Because the first model year for the Nissan Leaf was 2011, not 2010.
Most cars are physically manufactured a year or so before the model year. If you want to search for Leafs (Leaves?) manufactured in 2010, look for model year 2011.
I’m going to be laughing in my wheetabix when there’s not a single EV older than a decade on their original batteries.
You lost this one the instant you posted the comment.
