I booted up GT7 again just to see whatâs happened over a year of updates, after the game is evidently in the shape they want the game to be since theyâre pushing it for Olympics Esports. They have still yet to add any more tracks to music rally, which youâd think would be important considering how itâs one of the two options for the game on the title screen.
Finally spent a big chunk of my purse to purchase a GT Vision car for the new menu, I canât imagine how much more disappointing this electric car would be if I didnât have the added benefit of it costing 1/3rd of all the currency Iâve aquired in the game so far. I guess I understand now why electric cars make fake noises because no engine sounds and no gears makes for a terrible game experience.
I really hope someone figures out the trick to convince car companies to sign off on a period piece car game because these games are going to become unplayable unless they get locked to a specific decadeâs technology.

hereâs some bullshit: you canât register these in the US because of the 25 year rule. Yâsee back in the 80âs mercedes benz were selling North American versions of their cars which sucked more than the ones they sold in europe, so people started buying them new in europe and then importing them that way. or buying them from an importer (grey market imports, is what they called em)
well MB didnât like this, so they lobbied congress to enact a rule where cars had to be older than 25 years old to be registered in america if they werenât homologated for the US. This is why youâre suddenly seeing a lot of Kei cars because theyâre finally old enough to be imported into the US. for Canada itâs only 15 years. It doesnât matter if the car met safety standards in another country, if it wasnât sold in the US you canât register it, and in some cases they would repossess the cars and crush them. Maine is, for whatever reason, revoking registrations for imported 25+ year old JDM cars because dealerships are presumably complaining people are buying Kei cars and Mitsubishi Delicas instead of whatever awful SUV or Trucks theyâre selling.
thereâs one loophole around this for rich people called the âshow and displayâ law, if you buy a supercar that wasnât homologated for the United States, you can bring it to the US but only if you drive it 5000 miles a year. this was thanks to Bill Gates, who bought a Porsche 959 but it was stuck in customs for literal years until he lobbied congress to make a law. This same Porsche 959 was the reference car to the one in the Forza series.
anyway fuck this dying empire

speaking of obscurity:
Since you absolutely wonât see this one
making a blip on the radar outside of Germany, I went ahead and watched it in a double feature screening yesterday to report back:
It is basically part deux of a you-had-to-be-there specific time capsule kind of movie that made a big splash in 1992ish Germany*, depicting a car culture that seems alien to nowadays kids into cars â as such, the second movie fully leans into it and manages three impressive things:
-
it remains more focused on cars and car culture than the Fast & Furious series
-
it manages to tell a family!⢠cliche story in a more believable way than F&Fs of late
-
it is more entertaining than latter F&F flicks, for godâs sake, a german Trash Comedy Car movie with the single most obnoxious german actor by a mile. How on earth did THAT happen?
Anyway, nothing noteworthy and nothing more than a well-trodden coming of age story tacked onto a rose-tinted glasses nostalgia-fueled appreciation of The Manta, but it beat the hell out of F&F9 where I couldn't care less to continue watching it after hitting pause ten-ish minutes in.
*:
The Movie is responsible for one amusing aspect that may or may not apply in your country:
If you search/google the term Manta, the result might look like this
which, if it does, means that even your life has been impacted by a plucky german underdog story of a working class car hero

saw a very shabby looking lotus esprit with a unique security measure: a big ass chain hooked to the spokes of the front and back wheels
