    If your not using forza rewards I would suggest you do so. I get 1.5m every month, In horizon 2 I have like 9m and I have built pretty much every car I would want.

    Well, I may have just gone a bit overkill. I'm displaying this at a model railroading show this weekend:
    IMG_7009.JPG
    I have WWII aircraft on stands around the layout, appearing to be attacking either each other or the railroad track. My only flying allied aircraft was a Spitfire painted badly to look like a photo-reconnaissance version. The problem is that it was one color with only some of the markings added (the decals were extremely old, and I was only able to get 3 onto the plane in roughly one piece), and it was a fighter version. So, we decided to finish the other one, which was going to be an LF (Low Flight) version. So, over the last two days, I painted it as a near-perfect replica of Spitfire LF Mk. Vb EP120, complete with accurate pilot.
    IMG_7030.JPG (US quarter behind it for size reference)
    IMG_7031.JPG The underside was not ignored.
    Now, this gets to be in the back of the layout to keep 5 year olds from destroying it. And so I can look at it all day.

    I'm playing GTA 5 for the first time in a while.
    This game would be really fun if the handling didn't suck so much ass.
    The cops also piss me off to no end.

    GTA IV with handling mods FTW. No rubber banding cops.

    But GTA 5 has such better graphics and map and stuff.
    And I don't have 4 on computer.
    And yeah, rubberbanding cops are annoying.
    Pretty much any hostile AI in a vehicle doesn't have to follow the same physics as you. I hate it when games do that.

    I never drive the Crown Vics in that game because they gave them a V6 engine sound and that isn't ok.

    I have it on low settings. With ENB it looks incredible, yet some of the pictures look unbalance due to lower poly meshes.... weird.

    I googled it and it looks like some way to mod console games.
    Too much work for what I care. :\

    I'm trying.
    Good computers are just so expensive though.
    For 800 bucks I could buy a real crown vic to wreck.
    I bought a computer though. I guess you'd call it a project?
    AMD A8 or something like that. Some cheap MSI board with an integrated gpu. Old PSU that I don't even know who made.
    The retard I bought it from packaged it in such a way that the HDD was in the same box as the Mobo, loose. By the time that it had arrived down here in good 'ol Tennessee from Connecticut, the HDD had smashed itself against the Mobo so many times that it was dead.
    I also had to buy some ram, so I picked up 8 gigs of ddr3 at...Best Buy which ran me almost 80 bucks. I know, I know, I could have gotten a much better deal somewhere on the internet, but I was pissed and I just wanted some ram to test the damn motherboard. I was surprised to find it hadn't been killed by the HDD during shipping.
    I got a 1tb HDD for 40 bucks on sale from the online...Best buy store.
    So it sits on my desk, a jumble of wires and circuit boards because I'm too cheap to buy a case and I'm waiting to find one for free/really cheap.
    I've also been too lazy to download xp onto a usb drive, install that, then use a windows 7 upgrade disk I have to install 7.
    I hate computers so, so much. Frustrating, endless money pits.
    I want to play beamng in realtime, and dammit I'm gonna do that if it kills me.

    Doing so many things wrong Bro. Tip #1 buyer is protected over the seller on eBay. Seller screw u, screw them.

    And 800$+ buying a used pc with an a8?..Comon.. You can build better new.

    It wasn't ebay lol
    I paid over paypal for it. Not protected at all. I know the seller, so I trusted him to hold up his end of the deal. He tried but metal capacity limited him from packaging everything well. I took a risk, and I still came out ahead even with a dead HDD. I don't regret anything.
    And I wouldn't spend 800 bucks on a brand new computer, much less some outdated pos. I paid 100 bucks for it, +10 for shipping.

    Not bad. Get the matching graphics card and run crossfire with on board graphics for cheapest fastest setup.

    Yeah I'll definitely buy a graphics card for it. Not sure when.
    I want to get it up and running first, though.

    Ok, Chevy V6's don't like the cold. It's about 10F here and it took 3 attempts to start it, only to find out it's stuck in the snow.
    Sandbags and snow tires required for next year.
