The inclusion of the BAR 01 makes me has a sad.

"For all intensive purposes" makes me has a angry.

They fixed the 'intents and purposes' but not the split livery.

Couldn't agree more. I clicked on the Group B video link at the end while O was eating his lunch. "I don't like these cars, turn them off."

I need more in my life! Gives me an idea though, how about some RAF liveries on racing cars?

[group44]

In the drizzling rain this morning I stopped to gas up. A white BRZ with temporary tags pulled up next to me. As the guy was filling his tank I asked if he was enjoying his new ride. He said yes, but it was "a little tail happy in the wet" with a big smile on his face. Just to prove the point, as leaves he does a lazy drift in the parking lot to aim himself out the exit. He then proceeds to hang it very sideways getting out on to the road. Entertaining way to start the day

That's a pretty good idea.

Swoieeet.

I'm just not Mr.Brave enough to pull shenanigans like that in public.

Enter the track day    I'll just say, that chassis looked very poised during the fun.  That, and I'd rather save the potential ticket monies for tires too.

[clacksman]

Snow is your friend. The more the better.

Also the temp tags suggest there's not enough mileage on it to have worn the mold-release goo off the tires, which helps drifting potential considerably.

Winter is coming.

Also, oooo, AC4. 

[clacksman]

Apparently I got older again this year.

Also; how do these sportscar-in-reality sales numbers compare to what you see tooling about?

... and that's why the Mustang wasn't even on my radar. Just too many of them out there.

Oh man, is Piracy fun!

Sure, it's another AC game, which can get a little repetitive since the general game play hasn't change much since the first game, but the stories are always fun plays on history and the fighting is engaging. You can hunt, craft weapons, do side mission assassinations and so on. I've had some fun raiding warehouses in restricted areas.

The real fun, though, comes on the high seas. You captain a full on pirate ship, building your ship up as you go. You need materials to upgrade the ship, so you can attack and plunder passing ships, attack forts and 'liberate' them so you can dock and access the land based missions. You go shark and whale hunting for Humbacks, Orcas, Hammerheads, Bull Sharks and even Great Whites and a White Whale. Too much piracy and they start sending bounty hunter ships after you. Then a massive storm hits and you'll have to avoid rogue waves just to keep you on your toes.

But.. the absolute best thing about it... while your sailing along peacefully, the crew will break out in old time sea shanties. It's pretty awesome. 'Way Hey and up She Rises'... and all that

Really, the open seas sandbox of AC4 might be the best reason to have a sandbox, if you measure the success of an open world on a scale of how hard it is to get to the next mission without getting distracted, then AC4 beats Skyrim and GTAV in that department.

Don't get me wrong, the other two are better games, it's just really fun to shoot boats and sword fight.

Good stuff indeed. Now utube keeps serving up recommendations from 80's era SCCA and IMSA GTP races. Winning!
