through Cartalk.com, how about a sim based on the ten worst cars of
the last century?
Imagine slipping behind the wheel of, say, a Volkswagen Bus, a Renault
Dauphine, a Cadillac Cimarron, a Plymouth Volare or Dodge Aspen, a
Renault Le Car, a Chevrolet Chevette, an American Motors Gremlin, a
Ford Pinto, a Chevrolet Vega or, best of all, a Yugo!
No hill climbs here!
But just think about how much time you'll be able to spend in the
garage!
Whether points would be awarded based on speed or simply being able to
move is yet to decided.
The inability to move, of course, renders the entire discussion of a
physics model moot. We're talking about modeling the behavior of
what, for all intents and purposes, is a piece of sculpture. Smelly,
true, but a piece of sculpture nonetheless.
The only four wheel drifts these babies are going to be doing is done
an icy hill. If you push first.
I am personally looking forward to driving a Vega - a car some
consider to be constructed of compressed rust - over a railroad track
and having it break in half mid-race. Did I say race? Maybe not.
Talk about e***ment!
Or the thrill of the first person perspective that lets you leave the
car and get out and push! You'll be glad the Yugo has heated rear
windows when you have to push it across the finish line in the chilly
International Falls rally!
So, how about it? Is there a market for this?
