I feel like the Geo Metro was 20% of the cars on the road in Quebec from when I entered kindergarten in 1996 to 2009

How did you NOT know about the geo metro? AKA the Suzuki Cultus, AKA the Suzuki Swift, AKA Pontiac Firefly (best name), AKA Chevy Sprint.
I think it shares platform parts with the Suzuki Samurai?
Its a drive-able chicken mcnugget. 50mpg baybeee
The Chevy variant came with a Turbo option that rocketed the 50hp engine to a face melting 70hp.

I am a yuropean dork, i have been blessed to be exposed to french chic like the Samba
the Visa
the 205
or the AX
and lest we forget, the Renault R5
and the beautiful/wacky japanese econo-boxes like the Colt/Mirage
or the Corolla/Civic/Suzuki lineup. The Metro then only roamed our shores as the Justy

I want to know whoever at codemasters thought it was a good use of development time to put the dogshit regulation rally mode in WRC instead of like, I dunno, super special stages or something that the WRC actually does. I understand that world rallycross is a different license but I would have taken that or even autocross over this. maybe if I was an irl rich guy who wanted to drive 25 miles an hour in my pristine lancia stratos or whatever I have an actual stake in not destroying I would like it but it’s a fucking videogame. being forced to drive 12 miles this way makes me feel like I could be doing literally anything else with my time.

My best friend in High School had a 2001 Dodge Neon so I am actually excited to drive around in that shitty car.
Guess I could look up what Gran Turismos have a 2001 Dodge Neon.

Jeez, the WRC career mode is bizarre. Every year is the exact same down to the individual stages of each event but they still want you to look at the whole year in advance so you can plan out what you enter around your team’s goals…okay, sure, but they could’ve fucking told me that at the start when the tutorial made me enter a championship that has overlap with the actual Junior WRC event I need to be prioritizing. So now I’m going to fall behind in this other championship by missing an entire event, which is going to piss off the team owner, which is going to keep me stuck in Junior WRC forever…
It’s just annoying because I didn’t even fuck up technically - I committed myself to the two things he wanted me to do this season

welcome to the Real Life™
(no, seriously:
My brother’s doing amateur level rallying in that
BMW and over the last two years I’ve heard a lot about how ridiculously complicated it can be to register yourself for rallies on amateur level:
sometimes there aren’t enough participants turning up, so you either go for another event (by a different sanctioning body) or can join another class (if the regulations permit it) - with funny things like
‘sure, you could buy — back when this car was new — OEM brakes that perform better, but you are violating the ruleset since you could not factory-spec this car with these brakes back then’
which make you go 
the more you delve into it…

WRC and the FIA in general seem to be determined to make anything fun as bland and unnecessarily complex as possible.

Not sure why “so pressurized it sounds like it’s broken and/or about to explode” is my favorite type of engine noise.
