Okay you’re doing it again, reinterpreting my words incorrectly and passing it off as fact. It’d be fine if either your assessments were more nuanced, or you had phrased it as a speculation or question or clarification, but you put it in such certain, absolute terms I have no choice but to pipe up and go no, that’s wrong, so people don’t start running on misconceptions.
What you don’t know is that the entries that had air suspension in them so far also had a lot of tech invested into them. The type does matter but as stated for this round, so too does the tech points. In fact, this effect becomes dramatically more pronounced the more tech points one puts in. Personally you never get quite as much returns for the effort, depending in the component, so they should really only be used as a matter of brand philosophy or necessity (like a very high revving engine needs lots of valve train tech).
A closer reading of my text so far will uncover the hidden meaning on how the ability to modify the car affects different cars: particularly for the extreme cars, their inability to be modified hurt them mainly if their tuning was amiss.
So yes, overly extreme settings can hurt even hypercars. But air springs are okay, if they a) are optimally tuned and/or b) don’t have heaps of tech on them. Same too with other springs. Active suspensions, however, that’s a different story.
Just wait til you see the review of the first car off the line after the jump.
Also, I do try to take the background of the companies into account, if I know enough about them. This also means if you have a brand image or active story elsewhere on the forums, then I will integrate it into the story (see references to Znopresk/BMMA and Boqliq/Leeroy).
For example, if Saminda submitted a car, I’d definitely take a few potshots at their quality control woes
Don’t worry, if there’s no current events then obviously I don’t assume your company is still stuck in the 80s
I mean spare a thought for all those users who submit cars from the noughties onwards who revamp their threads every few months and never get past the 50s. Yes, there’s definitely a few of you
Anyways, if it’s ok with @strop here are a few archived photos from the 6hrs of Melbourne, so you can picture the narration better.
This is from when Kai won the 6 hrs of melbourne
Lol I knew this question would happen eventually. Actually no, Tesla drives a beat up tradie ute. She does a fair bit of home reno and restoration when she’s not playing mechanic.
i almost called you a hypocrite. like “you said you didn’t like flamejobs, but you have flamejobs on your uniform”…
and now i said it anyway
also, with 17 new posts on the thread, i thought the result was out already. and i already made a glass of morning coffee dammit
a little request for everyone here. or at least, every regular on the forum.
if you want to say congrats to someone for winning something, please don’t use @insertnamehere.
why? in my experience at least, it’s a spoiler. wake up and open up the forum to found i have 5 notification, from the same thread. “well. i guess i won something.” pops out in my mind.
and if you know that a result of a competition is supposed to come out today or the next day, and you have only 1 or 2 notification by the time it should already be out, “i guess i didn’t won that one”, is what i thought.
for me, this killed my anticipation and curiosity. so, just say congrats with the name directly, not with @name like when we’re at the old forum please?
and is this just me or anyone else agrees?
But that’s the company uniform, which they (hopefully) don’t wear in public. Kai’s gone and painted it (unprofessionally) on his daily driver in a way that absolutely screams Douchebag (see the Douche meter for a consensus on just how douche this is). The contexts are completely different.
That said, when Strop designed the GG uniform, he was going out of his way to be douchey about it. So yes, there is a certain degree of internal hypocrisy in the company’s operations. Or you could say they’re trying to attain some kind of karmic balance
I don’t see this as the rule, as sometimes there is more talk about a particularly ridiculous entry than there is the winner. It just means you’ve been on a bit of a hot streak lately and this may be colouring your experience. It also depends on your posting habits. I get lots of notifications because I’m the host of this thread and I haven’t muted notifications on the thread.
Speaking of which, could somebody test whether muting notifications from a thread allows them to also not see @ mentions from that thread? Because if this is the case, then there’s your solution right there. Asking everybody to change their posting habits might be necessary in some circumstances but here it’ll just be messy and create a whole new area of murky netiquette questions the forum can hopefully avoid.
If I was a dog I would so do Tesla…that’s weird isn’t it!?
Edit: LMFAO (that’s the first time I have had to use LMFAO) well someone had to go there and well you know I am an Aussie stuck in the past withv8 engines and free love man
