Something like this (would also leave room for mods)

Yep. The new one needs something more going on up there.

Props for finally arriving at a new car design without fake scoops all over.

BINGO
It is open again but marked as "moved".

Now if somebody would just go through the general section and move everything to the appropriate tech category...

Smoke. Less than 100 yards visibility right now.

Not a lot of sight seeing going on up here at present.

Hmmm. This new Z prototype has, through the magic of texting, caused my friends to point out that my FRS has significantly less torque than their LS-equipped vehicles. Normally I don't care because I just like having fun on back roads. But this time it has made me want to turn my car into a fire breathing monster for some reason... I think it's because there aren't many back roads near me anymore.

Anyway change my mind. Please. For reals.

You don't need back roads and boost! You need a lift kit and a set of off road tires! Apex everything.

BUT! What the hell do I know? I have 2 of these damn cars and both boosted.

Yeah... I don't think I'll be doing that one lol. There are some interesting dirt roads, but people actually live on them, and I don't really want to be met by an angry Amish mob one day...

I'm finally doing it. I'm having my 1988 homeowner installed sprinkler system replaced. No more hammer drive sprinklers. They are a maintenance nightmare. Hey, it's only money. I'll get it back when I move out....

I suppose that inspires me to finally get gutter guards installed...
