Rear View Mirror 5-4-15

Happy Monday Folks,

We have an abbreviated version of RVM today as I was busy preparing to announce the May Car Pack.

We have DTM and an announcement about the 10 Years of Forza celebration that is coming up.

See you tomorrow int he stream I hope.

I believe one the most memorable things I did in Forza game was make a 49 Ford Coupe that can’t go in a straight line in FM5. That car drifts off the road at high speed and requires constant stabilization to actually drive. I guess that’s what happens when you put an engine with over 1,000 horsepower in a chassis that is over 60 years old.

I think my favorite memories in the last 10 years of Forza are just playing Forza 2 & 3 with friends. Racing around the tracks, inventing games, showing off and trading paint jobs. Sadly by the time Forza 4 rolled around my group of friends has sort of dwindled because life has caught up with us, but we still manage to get together occasionally.

One of my favorite memories I managed to catch on video. A glitch during tag when a friend hit me full blast with his car.

I think the only thing I miss is the Maple Valley track. I wish that would come back to Forza. Some of my favorite races were on that track. For me it felt like the perfect layout and length on the full version.

Not to mention the “bump in the road” I found in Forza Motorsport 2

I do not believe that already spent 10 years.
Congratulations Turn 10 for the great game, I love from Forza 2, but I have a complete collection. including limited editions
I’m kind of sad for not having some unicorns Foza2 and forza3, but that’s life!
My best game is without doubt the forza3, it was a graphic revolution and optimal simulation. I will never forget it. That’s where my passion for the franchise increased from amazing shape. Today I have an Xbox One because of Forza, for it is she who makes me buy the Xbox, it’s my system seller.


My only photo in forza2, the other I missed in server


I spent hours in the photo mode of forza3, days in the championships, years with friends, how I love the Forza 3.


Forza 4 was another incredible revolution, came to confirm my passion, great game, fun multiplayer, gifts and beautiful unicorns


This is my history with the franchise Forza

Great RVM article! This has been a great weekend: Dale Jr. wins at Talladega, days after what would’ve been Dale Sr’s birthday, and the weather was perfect here in SC, especially for a local car show I attended and entered on Saturday.

And speaking of the car show, while I was there I happen to see 2 VWs and considering that you (Johniwanna) have one and are fanatic of them (i’m guessing), here are a few pics of them:

'71 VW (couldn’t recall what the owner called it)

'74 VW Sun Bug

I would call that a Street Baja Truck. And that 77 is a looker. I had a 77 in dark blue, loved it, except in the WI winter when the fuel pump would freeze.

Nice post Demon!
