Oct 20th 2010 5:09PM Let the acquisitions begin ... :(

Video: F1 2010 is too realistic in the wet (Autoblog)

Aug 20th 2010 11:39AM If you've been following any of Codemasters racing games, Dirt or Grid in particular, this shouldn't come as a big surprise. Their attention to detail is unmatched. The game engine rocks.

A big part of the experience is the first person perspective. Until recently that was not an included view in most racing games ... I'm so glad developers wised up.

I cannot wait for this game to hit. I'm so there.

Video: Dirt 3 trailer brings more rally, adds Gymkhana... and explosions (Autoblog)

Aug 2nd 2010 5:50PM Dirt 2 was epic on PC. This looks to be most sexcellent when it comes out. Can't wait to see where they take it.

Ubisoft DRM authentification server is down, Assassin's Creed 2 unplayable (Joystiq)

2010 Top Safety Picks announced by IIHS, new roof strength rule shakes things up (Autoblog)

Nov 18th 2009 3:06PM Because the seats differ between WRX and other Imprezas, ultimately affecting the rear collision results.

Meaning - the neck and head supports in the WRX don't protect the front seat passengers as the regular Impreza does.

Modern Warfare 2 bringing $60 price tag to PC games (Joystiq)

Aug 19th 2009 8:15PM Origin games in particular. I'll have to scan the boxes (which I still have) but yeah - they were pretty steep in price IIRC.

Modern Warfare 2 bringing $60 price tag to PC games (Joystiq)

Aug 19th 2009 7:14PM Now I'm sure most of you don't recall but back in the early 90's it was rather common for pc games to be priced at $79.99 - no joke.

Hire Him: Next-gen Subaru WRX STI is privately rendered awesomeness [w/VIDEO] (Autoblog)

May 28th 2009 4:07AM Where's the 5-door? :P

Spy Shots: Production 5 Series GT revealed via BMW TV (Autoblog)

Mar 19th 2009 1:43PM Love it. Even though the design isn't the sexiest you can't deny the utility of the hatch / trunk and folding seats - all the while adorned in classic BMW fit and finish. It's a smart direction for them. Just look at the sales of the 5-door Mazda's, Toyota's, and Subaru's ...

My last 2 vehicles have had trunks, I've been looking for a car with more luxury appointments than my WRX. This fits the bill.

Just because it doesn't fit into preconceived notions of what a BMW should be doesn't make it any less valid.


Big Surprise: Honda and Acura have best residual values (Autoblog)

Nov 21st 2008 6:13PM I just sold my RSX Type S and crossgraded to a Subaru Impreza 5-door WRX. It was a '02 model with 85k on it and in excellent condition. Sold for $11k without a blink.

If Acura ever designs a new RSX hatch I'm so there. One of the best car experiences I've ever had.

Reliable, practical, and fast.
