    The BeamNG Steam hub has already gone down the crapper.

    I can't even get the game on Steam. Community banned, so it won't let me link my account to BeamNG to get the key. I guess I'll have to ask support for the key.

    A gran marquis. Just like a p71 crown Vic, but way less cool. :p
    Its still cool, but personally I'd never buy a crown Vic that isn't a p71. Means no town cars or gran marquises.
    And no wonder it was so cheap. Clapped out. Replacing rod bearings isn't fun. Take it from me we're having to replace them in the firebird right now. The actually replacing the bearings part is pretty easy, it's just pulling the engine out and stuff that's the hassle.
    And it doesn't help when we accidentally order one bearing instead of 8 lol

    Try the other way around. Mum ordered a 24 pack of pepsi on the online grocery shopping. We were billed for a single 24 pack correctly. Little surprised when the dude came to our front door commenting on how much pepsi we'd purchased. It wasn't a 24 pack, it was 24 packs of 24 each. We were stocked up on pepsi for quite some time (actually they didnt last as long as one would expect considering there are 5 of us essentially addicted to it).

    That's what the priest said. Could have been due to the suspension lacking any rigidity though.

    A 1996 Toyota Corolla that has been beat to hell and back, towed 2 tonnes of dirt and a lawn mower, bounced off the rev limiter numerous times, towed a Ford Ranger out of a ditch, currently has almost no interior and almost no exterior panels, a wonky battery, no brakes, a large hole in the exhaust so it tries to kill you, has been classified as totaled 3 times and STILL gets 35 mpg, I call that good.

    35 mpg is great. We have completely different cars over here in the states than you europeans do.
    Hell, I have super low standards for mpg. In my book, anything that gets over 15 mpg is good, 10-15 is decent, and under 10 is bad.

    Yes of course for you. You're used to little econoboxes. I hate econoboxes, even though they're practical and much easier on the wallet.
    When you like trucks, v8s, and big vehicles you kinda have to adjust your perception of gas mileage to not go insane lol

    I would have to agree with SixSixSevenSeven. If a 44t lorry can get around half the mpg of a 2t truck i would have to say that 2t truck is pretty darn awful when it comes to fuel economy.

    I'm so tired, at first i thought you were trying to imply that the exact same car that can achieve 50mpg in Europe can only achieve 15-35 mpg in America... as in, when you take a Eco car to America it all of a sudden becomes crap at being efficient. ;_;

    Been legally allowed to drink alcohol for years but haven't bothered. Woo.
    Im no fun at all :p

    I don't go outside. I don't drink alcohol. I spend all day every day on a computer. I'm vegetarian. My mum buys my cloths.
    I am the very definition of mundane.

    and put up with terribly inefficient vehicles it seems :p

    Can drink at 18 in UK too although the entire look 25 scheme is just a PITA, slightly exciting buying your first beer or whatever, really damn annoying to be repeatedly ID'ed for it. I got ID'ed 3 times in 10 minutes once, that was fun. At the pub with a group of mates, 9pm they do a kickout of all under 18's for whatever reason, I went to the bar, bought a drink and was of course ID'ed, as I turned away from the bar I was ID'ed by a bouncer (any wetherspoons reckons its totally the bees knees so even though its just a normal pub otherwise and not a great one at that they do insist on bouncers, dont see that often in a pub), went back to join mates to find another bouncer ID'ing them and of course he tried to ID me too.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Should we have a club of people that rarely drink?
    Although I guess its my birthday, I should have a drink this evening.

    Where I work we have a pot of what appear to be various forms of ID. All fakes that underage kids have tried to use :p No doubt plenty more have gotten by, but we seem to do pretty well, alot of the customers tend to be obviously alot older anyway.

    lol the Almost Sober Club ;)

    We would always just pay someone to buy us drinks or preferable buy drinks from someone right then and there. I new guys who forged or at least tried to forge ID's, never seemed like a good idea, no need to go to a pub just go into the woods and enjoy. Of course we did get lost a few times. :eek:
