Ram: “We like making money but not sure if we want to make a lot of it.” Read more
If you drew a Venn Diagram of people who want a reasonably sized truck and people who want to buy a Ram, you’d have two completely independent circles.
Do you have any idea how much gas guzzling trucks cost. Do you have any idea how much fuel costs for them?
Yes. We do. Do you have any idea how much full-size trucks and SUVs cost?
I don’t think the article is implying that the sale of large trucks and SUV’s is hindering the adoption of EV’s. But rather the increasing sales of these vehicles is cancelling out any net benefit emissions wise. Read more

They could always go the NFS Pro Street route and let you tweet the varios body kit components. I’d take that!
A direct drive system has the wheel mounted directly to the motor shaft. For belt (most Fanatec/Thrustmaster products) or gear (Logitech) systems, the belt/gear translates the forces coming from the (smaller) motor to your hands. So fidelity will always be an issue there, and delayed feedback and lost details are… Read more
ONCE you get one that works, mostly. I went through 3 G25s during the warranty period, but the 4th one lasted for a decade before being retired.
Im not ready to drop $1300 on a clutchless setup with no shifter. I ordered the Fanatec GT DD Pro when it released and it died after 4 days. It took 3 days to get a response and 2 weeks to finally get an RMA. Read more
“The price for all of this is very steep — even steeper than a similar Fanatec rig would be. The G Pro wheel will set you back $1,000, while the pedals cost $350. Compare that to the $700 Fanatec GT DD Pro kit which includes pedals, albeit without a load cell or clutch.” Read more
The “DRM” is actually in the wheel on the Fanatecs, so if you have one of those a solution - as dumb as it sounds - is just to pick up one of their ~$189 CSL WRC wheels and slap it onto your base. Read more
I guess it depends on the user. While I usually do about two hours a night racing, I also participate in numerous enduro’s throughout the year. The money I spent on my base, wheel (s), and rig are downright worth it to me as I have always wanted to drive race cars, but never had the many thousands of dollars to do so. Read more
I must be in the exceptional casual crowd as I couldn’t fathom paying this much for a wheel and pedal setup. Fanatic’s entry level setups seems like big money to me. Read more
Ughhhhhh I need to buy and/or build a stand before I upgrade my wheel. A basic-ass folding table probably won’t cut it
I hate that for something so expensive we have to choose between consoles for it. This has always been an issue with the wheels, and I understand there are all these licensing considerations, but it’s so anti-consumer and unfortunate. Some people are multi-console or shift between generations. Having something this… Read more
And almost as important, are we ever going to see a gear shifter with a hand brake level attached? Most games use one of the digital buttons on the wheel as the handbrake, which is rather difficult to locate when the wheel is turning quickly around a corner. In some games I’ve re-mapped it to be one of the paddle… Read more
Reverse: Looks like Cruising USA...
Nobody remembers the name of that movie after a mug or two of that brew. That stuff has a kick like a mule.
Neutral: Hot apple cider with a dash of cinnamon and a shot of Tuaca italian brandy in it. Fantastic.
