Upshift Magazine

I don’t really feel like getting into a big thing with you right now, but you don’t exactly have any place to be talking about agreements and how I should be thankful, if anything, agreements have been broken, such as the ones regarding the release of content. As far as I was concerned, I was putting my magazine on hold, and I could trust anyone involved not to take over without contacting me first. I have Skype open almost constantly, and he could have easily said something there, in fact we had a discussion recently but this never came up.

Anyway, TG’s apologized, all is well, and I’m trying to make room to devote some time to this.

I don’t want to make a big thing out of this either since the issue is resolved, but I would hesitate to infer that written agreements have an unspoken time limit before they lapse. That’s tantamount to saying stuff that’s not written in a written agreement applies to the agreement.

At any rate, a lapse is a lapse and in the big picture this is a small one, and shouldn’t detract from the fact Evan did honour the original commitment which is great even though my car in review is actually already remade and improved lol

Excellent work @titleguy1 - you have resurrected an old thread and made it relevant again! I definitely agreed with your verdict - you wanted to find out which car of the three was the best everyday supercar of the bunch. :slight_smile: And in fact, the Nickel is a good choice if you want to slip under the radar compared to the other two cars you tested…

I’d like to take a moment to apologize to everyone here; my earlier post was written too quickly right after discovering the resurrection of this thread, and not reading Evan’s article very thoroughly. Am I still bothered that he didn’t mention anything? Yes, but I also appreciate that Evan still had the time to dedicate time to continuing this when I didn’t, and it’s awesome to see something I wasn’t able to complete still be relevant… Am I going to let Evan take over entirely? No, I still want to do this, since I share the same enthusiasm as my 2015 self, life just took over. Since then, I’ve been able to make more time for other things. So, sorry to everyone who had to read my hastily constructed earlier post. Evan, let’s kick some journalistic ass like old times. :wink:

What site? :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh it’s a very small site called Car Throttle. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sure. Just make sure to credit me. What’s your CT name? I’ll follow you.

Same as my automation name Speedemon.

Very slick work. Good visual engagement with the layout, too. And particularly good with the convertible!

Only just had time to read the article in its final form, it looks stunning. And you seemed to have read my mind, you got the way the rear lights actually light up on the Scarlet spot on.

And that engine noise…woohh mama, I love it!

Well even if he did tell you to make a “luxury GT” it would still be 2000 hp 400 mph million dollar track monster :laughing:
