TuTu March 3 2015 - The Weakest Link
« on: February 25, 2015, 04:40:37 PM »

Car: Pontiac Solstice Coupe Concept

Setup: Stock. Wheels/Paint/Oil.

Restrictions
Tuning: Prohibited
Tires: Sport Hard
Lounge: Public Lounge
Track: Probably start at Trial Mountain

What's the connection?
When the government got involved with GM, they decided that in order to survive, GM had to start shedding brands (unlike Chrysler, who immediately added two). Hummer was the sacrificial lamb that pleased everyone during the time of $4 gas. Then they kicked Saab (and Saturn) to the knees and shot it execution style in the back of the head. They couldn't kill Buick because China was booming. GMC has always been a lame duck product-wise but the company is all profit. Caddy and Chevy are untouchable. That left Pontiac, the remaining Weakest Link: a company who was desperately trying to figure out who they were. Holden's products weren't proving as popular in the U.S. as they should've been, so GM axed the whole company. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

But right before they left, Pontiac gave us two memorable products: the G8 and the Solstice. Tonight we will run the latter.

Looks as if the room got invaded by a clan. Twern't nice about things, either, so I bailed after getting blocked on the finish straight.

I thought the racing was good, some door to door stuff made it even better. I didn't have an issue with anyone, thought it was great racing.
Wish I could have stayed longer, but invoicing became more important.

Thanks Stepper, and all the guys.

He and Kush both knocked me off line to gain position so, not knowing if they were friends of somebody's or not, I decided to just pack it in for the night rather than say something I may regret.

I've run into Win_first, or, he's ran into me, a few times in the past few weeks.  Every time it's been in a drunk tank, so I credited his behavior to being a little drunk.  Last night does not seem the case.
He never been hostile to me, just clueless as how to race in packs.
He is not on my friends list.  If he was he'd know how to race properly.  Sorry that you guys dealt with that too.

While I must admit I was drunk. I faintly recall exiting from an otherwise fun room due to win first. Perhaps Trendy can remembers it too.

I know we tuna are supposed to be tolerant, but there must come a time to use that blocked player option in the XMB.

I wish Gary and and Charlie were here. No offense to anyone either, I just think of us as family.

Have only ran with win first a few times one of those times he went off track came back on right in the middle forcing me to come to almost a complete stop then cut a corner entirely on the last lap both moves showed complete lack of ethics to his racing. Although to be honest I expected nothing better from the very first time I read his screen name.  ::)

OK, I will make sure there is not a second chance, if he enters any of my lobbies. I mean really. I can't remember the last time that I was blocked and/or pushed around, even in random public lobbies. There is just no excuse for doing that.
