Salon de TDUCK: New Car Releases
The Compensator replied to CarMadMike's topic in Automotive Discussion
Yah, then why it looks like it's got 300hp and has a badge that says Camry RS Turbo Nürburgring Edition. I'm not saying it looks bad. I'm saying that IMHO the aggressiveness that Toyota and others are going for is too much and just doesn't fit the car's purpose. In this case, to appeal to the masses and be comfy as unintrusive as much for daily commuting. I guess it still is one of the top selling cars in the States, so k, if it the strategy works, then good for them. Can't remember the last time I've said that a (regular) vehicle looks elegant and liked it immediately. They're becoming too complicated and busy. -

I don't know what the set number was, but do know that just after their first season BMW got banned out of ALMS in which they were (very successfully) competing with the GTR. After that they decided to race the GTR in Europe. @priii I'm one of those that didn't mind the design of the 2nd gen Prius at. At least it didn't have the ridiculous details and overly aggressive line lines of the 2017 model. I seriously don't like this trend amongst all Toyota products. Just look at the 2015 Camry.

Trouble, lol - cannot tell my RS from my A/S5
The Compensator replied to F12Berlinetta's topic in Automotive Discussion
S models share the exterior body kit with S-line sport packages that are available for regular Audis. Exactly the same IIRC. The only difference might be the exhausts, front grille which has double slats and is more chrome-y and aluminium mirror caps. However, you can get a black package! And that gives you gloss black front grille and bumper inlets and window trim. Same applies to RS models (+ black exhaust tips; optional sports exhaust also has black exhaust tips). In general: S models: S-line body kit, "full" chrome double-slat front grille, alu mirror caps and silver bumper intake trim bits, oval exhaust tips RS models: totally different body kit, honeycomb front grille and intakes, alu mirror caps and front and rear bumper accents The gloss black pack removes all the chrome/alu bits (front grille, window trim, etc.) except the mirrors which you can either leave standard (alu) or get them painted. Base A5 S-line S5 Base A6 S-line A6 S6 S6 w/ black pack -

The Compensator replied to F12Berlinetta's topic in Automotive Discussion
The easiest thing is to google images of A, S and RS models and compare them or go to Audi's configurator, select the models, right click > open image in new tab > click click click between the tabs. If you can't tell the difference between a C7 S6 Avant and an RS 6 Avant, you're not a good spotter to be honest. :p -

Forza Horizon 3 - Possible locations?

* Which of these stereotypes resonate with you? The Black Hole: It's either the home keys or coins. I always find some money under the driver's seat when cleaning the car. The Backseat/Passenger Driver: Even at the age of three, I somehow managed to reach from the rear seat to the front to turn on the fog lights because it was foggy outside and my mom had no idea how to turn them on. Always used to do this to my older sister; sometimes she got very angry, but I stand behind my behaviour because her reversing was atrocious (not only that). When things got really bad, I was steering and she was doing the pedal work. Then one day I was not with her in the car and she reversed into a flowerpot. Now I just yell at parents for curbing the wheels. * Are there any that you have grown out of (or hope to s**n)? I'm always forgetting the vehicle key in the slot. Or my phone on the roof. * Have you ever sung out loud when driving/riding? Would you only do it by yourself, or have you done it with friends? Who started it (you or them)? I've done it once - with my classmate after the final school exams. Played rap songs very loud, windows down, sunroof opened and driving in circles through the town. :lol: * Are you a little ashamed of how long it's been since you cleaned out your car interior? Or exterior for that matter? How long has it been? I'm a member of several detailing forums. That says enough I think. :cheeky: * Anyone in your family got stickers all over the back of their car? My dad has got several stickers on his merc. It's those stickers that you get on Alpine mountains and passes. In addition to that, we have these on the side windows of the 135. * Anything else worth sharing? Curbed a rim two months ago, but never told anyone. :hide:

Need for Speed {DT} - General Discussion Thread
The Compensator replied to calster17's topic in Driving & Racing Games
What is the real culture? Can you tell me? I don't know. Is it time attack cars? What kind of cars do you see now at street car shows? Time attack cars? Bruh, we're talking about the import car culture not some track day bros. Show me pics from import car shows from the early 2000's. Also you've posted a 2006 magazine - UG2 is two years older if I could nitpick. :cheeky: What does this have to do with my previous post in the first place? Every car has a ride height that serves some purpose. I'm telling you again, this new game is about the current street car culture. That's why they're pushing forward RWB, RB, that Yakuza guy and of course they can't do a NFS game without Mr. Block so they threw him in too. What was UG all about? You're right, street culture. So the only difference is you just hate the 2000's import cars in my post. It is the same idea. Oh and FYI, I don't hate the stance thing. I appreciate some of the cars and IMHO they're much better than what Americans used to do in early 2000's. -

So you're telling me that UG & UG 2 didn't represent the (then underground) import car culture of the late 1990's and early 2000's and that EA was being sarcastic? Look at the photos below. They're from Hot Import Nights events, circa 1999-2003 when the import car culture was still an underground thing. The problem is that from today's perspective what we see on the photos above is rice. Riced out Civics with wild bodykits, empty NOS bottles and playstations in the interior. And this what the underground import car culture back in the day was all about. Fast & Furious movie in 2001 brought JDM into the US and helped the import cars get mainstream. This is when people started going crazy about "JDM", Supras, Skylines, VeilSide kits, etc. Influence #1. Another influence was the DUB culture. Huge chrome wheels, spinning wheels, LCD's and billion megawatt audio setups, SUV's. EA went a little bit crazy with the modifications, but you can clearly see the base line. My point is that what we see now as rice (the vehicles above) was cool fifteen years ago. What we see as cool now will be rice in a decade. Most of the mainstream styles I mean. NFS 2015 seems to be heavily based on "USDM". Though we have yet to see VIP style. Funny thing is Americans are going crazy after what the Japanese have been doing for quite some time and then the Japanese take it back to Japan and back and forth, but that's for another discussion. P.S.: And no, a slammed Rocket Bunny BRZ with stretched wheels is not a track day car. :p -

They're reflecting the tuning culture just like they did in Underground. That F&F stuff was rice as hell, I agree. However, the today's fad (outrageous wings, diffusers and aero stuff on stanced air bagged cars with stretched tired) is nothing better. -
