I barely have time for games lately. I either read books, or boot up my Switch for 10 minutes of Trails in the Sky SC before bed. 🎮😅

Here is my favorite:
Mazda B2200 / 1993 CabPlus
One of few small pickup which can buy in Hungary ( In America, South America, Japan have much wider model selection ). But whole small truck concept is passed away, because right now using ultra lux, large and overpriced pickups with short bed and 4 doors.

Instead this one is cheap I won $1000 with rustroke and I buy this car $2222 so I transformed the program price to a car.

This is a more than a car this is a workhorse, help me to renovation of my house.

Max speed around 90Km/h 64HP

My plan to repaint mazda on back with acrilic marcers

"Winning money from a rustroke and immediately converting program bounty into a classic Mazda workhorse is legendary. 🔥 You nailed it on modern trucks—give me a lightweight, honest truck over a luxury apartment on wheels any day. Salute to the B2200 keeping the house renovation alive!"

The timing of this is wild. I literally just open-sourced a project today dealing with this exact problem. Uncanny.
You nailed it: the radio lock is strong, but the physical assumption (assuming radio proximity equals inside the car) is completely broken by a £50 repeater outside the front door.
I spent months building an in-cabin acoustic air-gap protocol (using near-ultrasonic sound waves that can't penetrate automotive glass like RF does) to stop relay theft, tried patenting it, ran into corporate red tape, and finally pushed my entire Unity simulation and 360-page dossier and all my other documentation as open-source to GitHub today: If you want to take a look, here is the repo, i will likely make a post about this in detail too.github.com/ASXGTR/Qal"

1933 Chevrolet Master Eagle Sedan

Features I like:

  • Starterator
  • Fisher No-Draft Ventilation
  • Overall styling

Now THAT is a historic pick! The Starterator is such an underappreciated piece of early engineering—pushing the gas pedal to start the engine was way ahead of its time. And the Fisher No-Draft vent windows were basically the original climate control system!
great choice bro.

Fun to drive, too. Certainly gets some attention on the road.

I don’t have a car of my own yet, but I’ll think about getting one in the future. My family does have a car, though—my dad owns one.

No, no, we don’t want a BMW! I’d rather go for an Indian car. I’m thinking about getting a Mahindra. My dad recently bought a Scorpio, and it’s really good! :D

Personal fav, probably my car, Audi TT 3.2L 8N (with a spoiler), mostly cuz it just doesnt quit... Whether it's highway (I topped it out on the GPS at 316km/h) or offroading (I went in sand that got a Land Cruiser stuck), to how surprisingly much you can fit in it (4 people + a month's supply of groceries). Just cant beat it 😂 With the exception of fuel price... That beats me with a stick everytime I top up... But honestly, 3.2L naturally aspirated V6, DSG gearbox, everything else is purely mechanical, so nothing really breaks

Out-offroading a stuck Land Cruiser in a Mk1 3.2 VR6 Audi TT is hands down the wildest flex in this entire thread! 😂

Fitting 4 people + a month of groceries in an 8N while running 316 km/h on the highway... you’ve basically turned a sports coupe into a rally-capable daily driver. That naturally aspirated VR6 sound is worth every single drop of painful gas money. Pure respect... bro you nailed lol.

Did I mention, branched exhaust... So it sounds even better 😂 If I rev in a parking lot, atleast 5 alarms go off and when someone comes around with their brand new mustang, revving making a racket, I shut them up quite fast cuz mine sounds better and louder.

My dog had learned the sound of my car, so when I would drive past my parents' house, I had to detour 3 blocks, else he'd start barking in excitement and then get depro when I dont make a stop.

The Tucker: a revolutionary American automobile conceived by entrepreneur Preston Tucker and produced in Chicago, Illinois, for only one year in 1948. Promoted as the "Car of Tomorrow," it was decades ahead of its time, introducing groundbreaking safety and aerodynamic features that challenged the dominance of Detroit's "Big Three" automakers

I have always loved the lines on this car... it looks sleek, beautiful lines, they just don't build em' like this any more.

bsolute peak automotive history! The lines on the Tucker 48 are breathtaking, but the safety innovations and that famous center 'Cyclops' headlight made it a true masterpiece. It’s such a shame only 51 were ever made—what an incredible pick, also john bro it's the most premium royal car I've seen till now I loved it.

Nice take. Car preferences are more about the story than the spec sheet. The Urus is an interesting pick — a super-SUV is the kind of thing people either love or hate, and there’s something honest about picking a car you’d actually use, not just one to park. For me, the appeal is less the badge and more the engineering tradeoffs: make something absurdly fast, but still able to haul groceries. I’d be curious what pushed you over the edge toward Urus specifically rather than other high-performance SUVs.

Easy. VW Touareg. It's the same basic platform DNA, without the Lamborghini badge, flashy bodywork, and $200K markup. But hey, if the badge is the best part, enjoy it 😂
