  1. I would imagine the the Nissan/Infinity's would be cheaper to service then the BMW. And as younger person, driving the Z4, 350z/G35 or 37 is basically asking police to bother you. I would float to the Xterra because I am not much of a sportscar kind of person and due to where I live. You on the other hand do not have to worry about winter weather or dirty roads. Go for whatever you want most, just make sure to do your research and find the right car (even if it means waiting longer).

  2. just letting you know, I have not finished making the chassis yet as I found out there are two different versions with slightly different chassis's and there is not a whole lot of images of them to work off of

    No need to apologize, I didn't think you were being snarky. When I get a chance, I will double check my driver models again to see if they are off. What I had intended to do was create models that were as accurate as possible in size, so new frames could be built around them -- I think that is a good way to gauge chassis size when basing models solely on photos.

    I definitely need to fix the male arms as they are too thin. At some point I want to make new drivers entirely which I might do when I step my electric trucks up to "stage 4" designs.

    Well there is some good news and bad news, with the site being down I did some prodding around on my chassis's. Turns out that the vast majority of them (my recently redone Cohen, Concussion, J&B and PEI) share the same cab height as Fluffy. Comparing them to the CRD there is about a two and a half cylinder gap (I use .03 diameter). So I would be looking at fixing over at minimum, half of the stuff I have made. As of right now I am not sure what I am going to do as free time is hard to come by for me and I am not entirely sure how long it would take me to do it all.

  4. Over the years I have found that teams are less then open about providing stuff like that (I ran into massive backlash years back with Western Renegade). Your observation is not unfounded or incorrect, like I said I know that a majority of my work is not 100% accurate (the only chassis I can say for sure is the CRD's as I have the original CAD drawings that I was given) I will look into it tomorrow or the next and see exactly how much off it is. Apologizes if the driver model comment came across as snarky, I do not use other models or props when I make my stuff as previous content was never accurately scaled (engines, bodies, etc).

  5. Na I know my stuff is not 100% accurate. When you base all of your work off of less then perfect photos with zero factual measurements, making things by eye does have it's flaws.. And while I do not doubt the driver model is sized incorrectly, what is the height that it is supposed to reflect? (for curiosity sake)

  6. You have to split your starting amount into however many tours you are running. So for instance, The Machine Shop had $400,000ish starting budget, I have three touring groups so I had to split the $400,000 three ways to each tours starting budget. This will keep the projected budget correct.
