Advances in technology have allowed automakers to design SUVs that use less fuel than their predecessors. Better gas mileage has brought hope to many people as they will be able to afford and drive an SUV, especially in the current economic crisis.

Below are reviews of two of the best-mileage SUV models available, the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and the 2014 Lexus RX 450h.

2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Among the best-fuel-efficient SUVs, the Toyota Highlander has a 3.5-liter V6 engine and an electronically powered synergy hybrid drive system that is capable of delivering 280 horsepower. It’s one of the best gas-powered SUVs with a 27/28 city / highway mileage rating. It has a hybrid power meter that helps show the user when the system is fully charged. It has two modes, namely the eco mode, where the best hybrid vehicles modify the throttle response to help with fuel efficiency and the ev mode for the electric motor when driving at low speeds.

The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has several safety features, such as improved vehicle stability control, antilock brakes, traction control, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, tire pressure monitoring system, and smart stop technology. .

2014 Lexus Rx 450h

The 2014 Lexus RX 450h is among the best fuel-efficient SUVs available and has a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline / electric engine that is capable of producing 295 horsepower. As a hybrid SUV, it is very fuel efficient and has a 32/28 mpg city / highway rating. It has a fuel tank capacity of 17.2 gallons. It has several gadgets to ensure the comfort and convenience of the occupants similar to other hybrid vehicles. Some of the devices include keyless start, vehicle anti-theft system, remote engine start, power door locks, heated mirrors, cruise control, and fog lights.

This luxury hybrid SUV has several safety features, namely front, rear and side airbags, brake assist, electronic stability control, child safety control, integrated turn signal mirrors, traction control and lights. daytime circulation.

Other SUV models with better mileage include the 2014 Mazda CX-5, 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid, 2014 Nissan Juke, and 2014 Nissan Rogue.

Those looking for a luxury SUV with the best fuel efficiency can find it in the 2014 Mercedes 250GLK BluTEC 4Matic or the 2014 BMW X3 iDrive28d. Both luxury compact SUV models use fuel efficient diesel engines to post some of the best ratings for mileage of any SUV vehicle.

David Higgins confirmed on telecommunications whether he was ready or not. I responded in a positive tone showing my thumbs up.

I lost control of the steering before I could complete it and for all this I kept my enthusiasm and the Tilton racing clutch of the responsible car. David told me not to rush, but to release the clutch slowly and move forward by gently increasing the throttle.

Some of the moments in my life made me wonder if this was real and yes, this was one of them. In fact, this was one of the best moments of my life. After all, he was occupying the driver’s seat in a Subaru STI that has a powerful 330 horsepower engine. This car is very competitive to compete in Rally America. We’re at Team O Neil’s rally school, which is a great place in the sub-zero New Hampshire woods.

We took all kinds of fancy gear with us on this frosty morning including fire extinguishers, a roll cage, two scalloped goats, harnesses, a steering wheel, and a tally hydraulic handbrake. This car has a Sadev six-speed transmission gearbox that is mounted 3 inches to the left of the handbrake. Any resemblance to the base of the production car is not present, except for the signal arm. In addition to many instrumentation devices, the car contains a digital tachometer and Coralba odometer showing that it is 12 o’clock.

The exterior of this car is inspired by Vermont Sports Car. The upgrade to this car was made in December 2013 which included a custom roll cage for added safety and strength, a welded body with seams along with a replacement composite panel, much stronger Reiger suspension rally shocks, method gravel wheels that are 15 inches tall and 7 inches wide, a fuel cell with FIA specs, much better and stronger drive and propulsion axles, Alcon brakes with a larger size and DMAC tires, to name a few.

Just a few minutes before I stopped, the pipes on our Subaru STI made a loud noise that was probably due to dirt inside. The cabin inside the car was filled with the smell of combustion from the burned racing fuel. My fingers and toes are almost frozen at the moment and I could barely steer the wheel. The heat radiation from the 2.0-liter turbo engine provides great relief.

Mitsubishi is addressing fuel shortages with multiple engine options for the Lancer 2010. With an average of 22 to 31 miles per gallon, an increase of one gallon from 2009, the MIVEC (Mitsubishi Valve Timing Electronic Control) engine options for The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer easily marry performance with green initiative.

Both the DE and ES Mitsubishi Lancer models feature all-aluminum 2.0-liter MIVEC engines with a choice of 152 or 142 horsepower, the latter only if the zero-emission vehicle version engine is selected. The zero partial emission vehicle standard in some states motivated Mitsubishi to build engines that not only offer Mitsubishi performance, but meet the standard, which is the highest rating available for non-hybrid vehicles. MIVEC engines with the zero partial emission vehicle standard provide an easy option to help the environment without losing engine power or manpower.

The Lancer GTS and RALLIART models offer engines that meet any demand for significant power improvements compared to the DE and ES models. The 2010 GTS model option features a 168-horsepower 2.4-liter MIVEC engine, while the Mitsubishi Lancer RALLIART features a powerful 237-horsepower intercooled MIVEC engine respectively. While impressive, these engine options are no different than previously available for the 2009 GTS or RALLIART models.

No matter the option, 2010 MIVEC engines for the Mitsubishi Lancer deliver power, durability, value and fuel efficiency. However, the DE, ES, GTS and RALLIART models are all essentially the same engine options from 2009.

The prodigal son of the auto industry

DON’T LET YOUR PETITE LOOK mistake you for its excellent performance on modern roads – the “ForTwo” Microcity Coupe is just over 8 feet long, less than 5 feet wide and 5 feet tall. Weighing 818 kilograms and 3 feet shorter than a Mini Cooper, these Vikings have race car-like roll cages, anti-lock brakes (ABS), advanced electronics, microprocessors and a superior drivetrain that offer better stability, braking and comfort. general. It has luxury upgrades like GPS navigation, reverse detection, night vision, assisted parking, climate control, smart card, and keyless voice control. Of course, the smartest car is the one that is fully automated and drives itself.

A smart car is a mini-compact two-seater with advanced electronics and microprocessor that are perfect for busy places and urban driving. The first prototype known as Micro Compact Car (MCC) was developed in 1994 by Swatch and Daimler-Benz and this ‘Swatchmobile’ was showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997. In fact, the word ‘Smart’ derives from cooperation between Swatch and Mercedes: Swatch Mercedes ART. The updated Smart “ForTwo” was launched in 2008 in the US.

What’s so smart about it?

The idea of ​​building a small car came from Nicolas Hayek, the inventor of Swatch watches. I wanted to make a small car that was fuel efficient, environmentally friendly, and easy to park in tight spaces. Today, his progeny in DaimlerAG’s Smart division and other automakers such as Renault and General Motors (GM) offer cars that have electric or hybrid motors and are fuel efficient and environmentally responsible.

Although initially people were hesitant to opt for Smart, now the notion is changing. To date, more than 750,000 ForTwos have been sold in Europe and Japan. Subcompacts are also gaining a lot of attention to the trend. Waiting lists and advance reservations for Tesla and Chevrolet Volt show that people are more concerned about fuel economy and the environment. The Smart line has been conveniently positioned among the high-end design and technology segment that targets the urban upper middle class, especially the younger generation.

These microcars are small in stature but big in economy. Compared to a 7-foot-wide Hummer H1, ForTwo is only 5-feet wide. In real life application, this means that a Smart Car can back up to the curb instead of parallel parking in line with other cars. Two or three Smart Cars can be parked that way in a single curbside parking space. In fact, Swatch wanted to make such a car initially for the American and European market, where parking space and gasoline are at a premium. The cars are ultra maneuverable and fast off the line; They can even beat many supercars when it comes to speeding up in city traffic. With its diminutive length, ForTwo can turn within a staggering 22.8-foot circle, compared to 35.7 feet for a Honda Civic.

With its Tridion security cell at the front, Smart has also governed the issue of security quite well. This rigid structure activates crumple zones of a colliding vehicle, creating a safety bubble around passengers. The second generation ForTwo has received 4 out of 5 stars for adult occupant protection from Euro NCAP.

ForTwo is one of the most efficient four-wheelers with a conventional gasoline engine on the market. Obviously it can’t compete with a hybrid when it comes to mpg numbers, but it has an artistic design and is certainly easier to park than a conventional four-wheeler. You can snatch the last parking spot virtually anywhere and it comes with a wide variety of color options for your monoblock and Tridion Safety Cell. From an environmental point of view, Smart is the most promising four-wheeler. As it is electrically powered, it does not pollute the environment.

However, in case of price, the Smarts are not that smart and they never have been. The base price for a ForTwo automatic transmission is $ 20,640 in the US and $ 19,650 in the European market, not to mention the $ 28,750 price of the all-electric ForTwo Convertible (smart ED). Buyers looking for fuel efficiency are also looking for bank account efficiency, and they can find a small mainstream car with decent mileage for several thousand dollars less than the cost of a ForTwo.

Electrically-assisted steering offers very little haptic feedback from the road surface, causing ForTwo to skip excessively on bumps in the road. Disc and drum brakes also feel artificial in expert hands.

Smarts are also slow in terms of speed and mileage. Though fast off the line, the latest ForTwos Convertible can hit 0-60 mph in 10.2 seconds, compared to the 5-7 seconds required for most conventional sedans. Its top speed has been limited to just 81 mph, as excessive speed dramatically reduces mileage and electric range. The projected 70-80 miles of single range is also not practical when you need 3 hours of charging through a 240-volt outlet or 16.5 hours through a 120-volt household outlet.

Even smarter

DaimlerChrysler unveiled an all-electric version of the Smart Car, the ForTwo EV, at the British Motor Show in July 2006. Now, in 2018, it offers ForTwo Electric Drive – a quirky hatchback priced at $ 24,550 and a mid-mount, Motor 80 hp electric that goes 70 miles on a single charge. The latest ForTwo Cabriolet is the quintessential ‘convertible’ version of the Electric Drive. Like its predecessor, the Cabriolet also comes with an electric powertrain and surprisingly spacious cargo space.

ForTwo is not the only one in the Smart line. Toyota’s Scion iQ was a worthy competitor that held most of the smart car records before its demise in 2015. Now, ForTwo faces stiff competition from the Mitsubishi I-MiEV and the Fiat 500e. Honda Fit and Chevy Volt may not be the smallest cars on the market, but when it comes to hybrid transmission, automotive intelligence, and fuel economy, these cars have good competition in the Smart segment. Mini Cooper is another challenger that offers sleek yet rugged performance. All of these cars are designed to maximize passenger space, while minimizing exterior length. ForTwo also has its Smart segment cousins ​​in Mercedes: Smart Roadster and Forfour. The latter is being rebuilt to offer a pint-sized 4×4 SUV for the domestic market in the US and Brazil. Hyundai is currently building complete driverless cars for the next generation and Samsung is developing an in-vehicle infotainment system. Both companies are competing in the industry to introduce hyper-intelligent cars.

While this Smart is clearly an excellent choice for city cars, what is less clear is whether it will completely replace conventional gasoline-powered cars. Only time will give us the answer. But, with fuel prices hitting all-time highs and environmental restoration a hot issue, it’s the peak time for automakers to offer and consumers to adopt more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly smart cars for commuting.

Who says Halloween is just for kids? Halloween is, of course, a time for trick-or-treating, and Mom and Dad surely can’t go out begging on the streets for candy, but the holidays can also be a great time to have some complete fun.

If you’re planning an adult Halloween party, you’ll want to keep some adult Halloween games on hand. It’s all part of the fun.

Some capital Halloween games for adults include:

About the city: this is a treasure hunt. All you need to do is make a list of Halloween related items, hand the list over to each team, and post them on your way to collect the items. Some big goals to include on the list include:

The noose of a hanged man

A black veil

An obituary

You probably get the idea. It only includes items that have to do with being scared, ghosts, Halloween or whatever.

You can also try a variation of the hunt. A great one is to make the hunt a video scavenger hunt. Each squad starts with a video camera in hand (or a cell phone with a camera or whatever) and shoots the items instead of carrying them with them. This is really cool because it can make the item list include really big things and potentially scary things like tombstones. For an additional variant, you can make the list exclusively things like: Superman, a clown, a pirate, a fairy princess, a werewolf, a vampire, etc. That would mean adult Halloween games would admit kids through video recording of those in trick-or-treating.

Halloween Fortune Telling – In this game, your guests test their knowledge and get to know each other better.

Simply hand out pieces of paper and a pencil to each guest. Then each person selects a person at the party (maybe even themselves), but doesn’t tell anyone who they are. Then everyone writes a “fortune” for that person, folds it, and puts it in the fish tank. You can let everyone write one or more; that depends on you.

And then each guest takes out a sheet of paper and reads the fortune. Then try to guess which person made the fortune and who the fortune is about.

Some examples of fortunes could be:

“This person will be arrested doing something illegal and will spend the night in jail.”

“This person will marry someone from a foreign country.”

“This person will quit his job and buy a Corvette when he turns fifty.”

“This person will adopt a young man.”

“This person will become the PTA president.”

You get the idea. Every person who guesses correctly wins a humble prize, and this game is a delicious way to start conversations at your Halloween party.

A really cool variation on this game is to let each guest put their name on a piece of paper and put it in the bowl. And then have each guest draw a name from the bowl and have the one who drew the name make up a scary story about the name drawn. Then ask the other guest to guess who the scary story is about.

As you may discover, adult games can be a lot of fun and the types of games can be endless. It only takes miniscule planning to create Halloween games for adults.

There has been increased interest and speculation in the evolution of 5G in recent years; Furthermore, this year in 2018 5G is expected to enter the real scene. At the end of 2018, AT&T appears to launch mobile 5G to many select markets. Additionally, starting with Sacramento, CA, many cities will be introduced on fixed 5G as Verizon partners with Samsung. While alternative carriers T-Mobile and Sprint have plans to enter the 5G scene in 2019 and 2020. In a National Security Report released by the White House, 5G Wireless service is now listed as an infrastructure priority.

So what is 5G?

5G is the fifth generation of cellular technology: the G represents the next generation, the 4G standard that was introduced in 2010. In December 2017, a formal standard was established that establishes the specification for 5G. So 5G, when it comes to download and upload speed, will exceed 4G standards by 100 times. Also, with 5G, there will be fewer latency problems currently existing on the network. The results of 5G will be faster and connectivity will be more reliable, which will advance the next technology.

Implication of 5G evolution

  • IoT and autonomous cars

With the evolution of 5G, autonomous cars will be safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient. 5G has a low latency that will allow autonomous cars to be closely linked with other connected devices, such as smart city infrastructure – traffic lights, etc. 5G will simplify the stress that we are currently placing on 4G networks with the increasing number of connected devices. IoT will be much faster and more dynamic, as there will be a rapid transfer of large volumes of data. Without sacrificing performance, 5G will connect more and more devices.

  • Mobile innovation

As fast as mobile internet will be, there will also be an evolution in mobile innovation. With superior AR and VR experiences, mobile experiences that are not supported by current generation 4G technology will not be seen or heard before. The current smartphone is not aligned with 5G, but as the technology develops, there will also be tremendous growth in devices. Additionally, ZTE has already announced that the company will bring 5G-compatible phones in late 2018 or early 2019. 4G has the strain of increasingly connected devices that will be relieved by 5G technology.

  • Internet at home

Technology will come first with fixed 5G, so the Internet at home will enjoy many benefits. The most surprising characteristics of 5G technology are that it does not involve a large expensive investment in the way it is required to install the fiber optic cable. 5G Home Internet will be completely wireless, allowing users to enjoy seamless Internet experiences.

  • The future

After much waiting and consideration, it is certain that 5G will be rolled out by the end of this year 2018. We can identify that some of the areas such as autonomous cars, home internet and mobile innovation are destined to evolve with the evolution of 5G. However, in the long term, 5G will bring innovations on the digital stage.

Leveling kits pretty much avoid the limelight when it comes to 4×4 and off-road parts, but this certainly shouldn’t suggest that a leveling kit isn’t an essential piece of hardware.

In fact, with gas prices so high these days, many truck, Jeep and SUV owners are looking for ways to save gas and lessen the impact on their wallet. This is where leveling kits come in.

Although you might not guess, a leveling kit can have a decent impact on your fuel economy figures, and knowing how it can affect your suspension system can save you a lot on fuel and maintenance costs.

How a leveling kit affects fuel economy

When we talk about how a leveling kit affects gas mileage, it should be noted that we are advocating common sense in terms of saving gas. In other words, optimizing gas mileage from a trim kits perspective will not produce a massive jump in MPG figures.

Rather, the leveling kit is one of many pieces of equipment that affects gas mileage for a longer period of time, or contributes as one of the many improvements you can make to your vehicle to improve mileage in the short term.

In any case, in this document, we’ll look at the ways that a leveling kit, or the lack of it, can affect your fuel economy.

Leveling Lift Kits Overview

Vehicle customization is one of the most exciting parts of owning a 4×4 vehicle; however, modifying your trip can often be a complicated task that can lead to a wide range of unforeseen side effects.

One particular problem that commonly plagues 4×4 enthusiasts is suspension sag. Depending on the type of vehicle you own and the lift kit you add, customization can sometimes cause a vehicle to travel with an uneven posture; that is, one end travels lower than the other.

Sometimes other factors can play a role as well. Even if you do a perfectly level suspension installation, additional items like heavy duty front bumpers and winches can sometimes weigh on the front.

In addition to being simply unsightly, uneven posture can also affect long-term performance. It puts more pressure on the suspension and can also cause tires to wear out faster or go flat more easily.

Leveling kits are the perfect solution to eliminate sagging as they are fairly easy to install and allow you to add those precious extra inches to level your ride. A few inches may not sound like a lot, but you’ll be surprised at what a big difference a leveling kit can make.

Tire wear management

It is common knowledge that front tires wear out faster and go flat more easily than rear tires, simply due to the added movement and stress that steering causes. Now add the front end sag and your front tires will wear out even faster.

Nothing affects on- and off-road performance as much as uneven tires, not to mention gas mileage. In fact, under-inflated tires are a leading cause of lost fuel economy for commuters and off-road enthusiasts alike.

Add a leveling kit and all of a sudden your tires are offering life and performance like they should. Leveling kits can extend tire life and reduce deflation, allowing you to maximize fuel economy and also get much better long-term tread life.

A complete review

What’s the point of owning a truck or utility vehicle if you’re not putting it to work?

Using your 4×4 vehicle for towing, hauling loads, and other construction applications is common practice among truck, Jeep, and SUV owners. But putting your vehicle under great pressure is another factor that affects mileage and performance.

Introduce block kits or leveling kits that raise the rear of a vehicle. A set of blocks can help offset the weight or extra load on the rear of your vehicle, reducing stress and allowing for more efficient overall performance.

A vehicle with a raised rear end offers less drag when towing or hauling, and more overall stability for those really tough jobs, ultimately resulting in long-term improvements in gas mileage.

A matter of inches

In the end, a few inches can make a big difference in improving or hindering your fuel economy.

Leveling kits are just one of many ways to ensure that you are getting the best MPG possible with your vehicle and, together with a leveling kit, the right combination of components can go a long way towards improving your gas mileage. .

Tesla just revealed the price of its semi trailer and once again it is exceeding all expectations!

Initially, when this model was first announced, people were making disparate guesses about pricing in relation to battery size. Some assumed that if the vehicle came with a 1,000-kilowatt-hour battery with a range of 500 miles, the price would most likely fall within the $ 200,000 to $ 250,000 range.

Tesla semi trailer at a competitive price

They have finally released the actual costs and frankly these numbers are mind boggling. Starting price is $ 150,000 for the 300-mile range model, $ 180,000 for the 500-mile range model, and $ 200,000 for the fully loaded Founders series model, which should also be in the 500-mile range.

To put this in perspective, the entry price for a diesel-powered semi-trailer is roughly $ 100,000. If you prefer something that is more reliable or has more features, you will have to look at the $ 110,000 to $ 120,000 range.

Interestingly, when you consider the difference between the two models (300-mile range and 500-mile range models), what we were really looking at is a bargain-priced upgrade.

Viewed from this angle, the advertised price becomes even more profitable and attractive. We’re talking about an upgrade cost of just $ 15,000 for every additional 100 mile range (about 200 more kilowatts of battery)!

Of course these calculations could be a long way off, they are based on initial numbers and observations, and there will be corollary costs involved with each purchase. But if the math turns out to be correct, this will really be a game changer!

The Elon Musk Factor

Lately, Tesla seems to be getting ahead and getting a lot of mileage over the competition. They already have a clear technological edge, thanks to a forward-thinking decision to go big in R&D.

And they have Elon Musk.

“Let’s face it, people buy a Tesla EV because it’s a great car with wonderful technology, they invest in Tesla because they believe in Elon Musk,” observed TColey 100, a keen observer in the electric vehicle space. “Elon Musk is Tesla’s most valuable asset and that’s what the competition has to deal with.”

When it comes to Tesla, online discussions often naturally gravitate to areas in which the company excels. Electric vehicle technology, batteries, and its huge super-charging network – those topics are part of the course.

But, if there is one differentiator that is making things happen for Tesla, it could only be Elon Musk. Comparisons have been made and tons of pages have been written about the man. The closest tech visionary that comes to mind is, of course, Steve Jobs.

They are both dream catchers who caused massive disruptions in their respective industries in search of breakthroughs. They do what they do best because they see that it can be done. It’s a shame Jobs died early. With the way things are taking shape, Musk is prepared to accomplish much greater things before he does.

This piece is not intended to glorify Tesla or Musk. Far from it, the company has its own set of shortcomings to grapple with, but its leadership and direction remains strong. Let’s give credit where it is due.

NaturalMotion’s CSR Classics (iOS and Android) is a surprisingly addictive drag racing game brought to you by the same folks who made great strides with CSR Racing years before. I tried the original CSR Racing game many moons ago, but never stuck with it, mainly because, I think, collecting and racing the cars offered to the user did not interest me.

This problem is well solved in CSR Classics, where drag racing is put on a fictitious “strip” (think Las Vegas). Players buy, upgrade, and race cars from a vast catalog of classic cars, from traditional muscle (Ford Mustang, Chevy’s Corvair, and Nova, and the incredible Dodge Challenger, to name a few) to high-end classics like Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin. , and BMW, with a ton in between. Cars can be purchased in “loved” or “unloved” condition. Beloved cars look and perform much better than their unloved counterparts. As for me (and many people who have been involved with CSR Classics), I prefer to buy rusty, sweaty, hit and run relics to earn money to upgrade them, which makes CSR Classics much more than just a racing game, but rather one for collecting and building too.

The racing dynamics at CSR Classics are deceptively simple. To start a race, the driver (that’s you!) Hits the gas pedal to bring the needle into the “green zone” of the tachometer, trying to keep it there while the counter runs out and the race begins. Starting a career in the green zone provides a “perfect start”, which makes life that much easier. If the needle is too low in RPM, your car struggles to get up to speed, while overrunning the engine before start-up causes the wheels to spin, wasting valuable time until the wheels find their grip on the pavement.

Once the race starts, everything is time-based, as you must try to achieve a “perfect shift” through the gears. A fraction of a second sooner or later can cost a race, especially when competing with tougher opponents. The difficulty of the race varies between Easy (you can make a lot of mistakes and still come out on top), Challenging (a mistake here or there is surmountable, but don’t make it a habit), Hard (being at the top of your game or you you’ll go home a loser) and Extreme (I’ve never beat one of these and don’t even bother trying anymore.

As I said, timing is everything in CSR Classics while on the brake, as there is no need to worry about steering, braking, or acceleration (except when starting). However, the variety of career difficulties helps keep your interest, as do the different types of careers available.

In “career” mode, you try to rank up in better and stronger cars, spending your cash to upgrade what you have and buy new vehicles. Within each level are a variety of races, including ladder races, restriction races, crew races, and manufacturer or car specific events. CSR Racing also offers an “online” mode in which the developers say that you can compete against real life opponents. This is somewhat untrue, as you actually compete against other real-life players in ladder events for money, reputation, and prizes. However, what you can’t do is participate in a real-time endurance race against real-life opponents, which is a bit tricky (pun intended).

Like all games, CSR Classics has some problems. The two most obvious are the replay factor, which I’ve run into every now and then if I’ve played a lot recently, but I keep coming back. Let’s face it, there is only one time limit and tapping a guy can do before things get a little boring. But, for me, a bit of free time and the appeal of new cars (which NaturalMotion regularly adds) brings me back.

The other big drawback is a common one in all the “free” games I have played, namely that at some point the developers make it very frustrating NOT to invest money in the game. CSR Racing does this by using “gold”, which CAN be earned in races or by completing free offers, but that is an extremely time consuming and tedious process, especially since there are some really amazing cars that can only be bought with large amounts of gold. .

Overall though, CSR Classics gets a big “thumbs up” from this gaming gourmand as it has provided me, and I believe it will continue to, hours of good play.
