    Gabester meant "crap" as in "stuff"... As in... random words... Duh.

    Eyey, My bedroom doorknob knows my name (serious, it has an NFC tag taped to it, doesnt read very well though due to having a huge lump of metal behind it which does interfere with NFC readings)

    What did I start... I was simply trying to make a poor translation joke and now all of you are arguing about names. Don't argue! Maybe that's what the owl was doing before, well, the accident. ;)

    Nah, I don't think so. They secs make it sound like it is ready to be released. Maybe Sunday, seems reasonable.

    Ahahahahaha no.

    Civetta = It's a kind of fast bird
    Bolide = another way to mean fast in related to cars.

    This comment just made me laugh. You really should write books, as you put it so well.

    (sorry for the bump)
    I've basically grown out of the whole "DIS CAR IS -x car-" phase, but I think I may have found the car the Bolide is based off..google "Guanci SSJ".

    actually, that's pretty close to the in-game one (well, the front anyway, taillights aren't really that close to the bolide):

    Well, the Sunbird, Monza and Skyhawk were built on the GM H platform.

    Apparently not, its some sort of American limited production car with a fiberglass body on a custom chassis. It's got a mid-engine V6 and a turb-hydramatic, borrowed from a Pontiac. Me thinks it may have inspired the Pontiac Fiero. I can kind of read the text in this article for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1983-Guanci...-1-Sales-Brochure-wd8334-SOUP7Q-/290876102811
