My First car 1963 Chevy Corvair Monza. , I paid $125.00 for it in 1980 , it was in pretty bad shape, but my friend & I fixed it up and I drove it for almost 6 months, before it died again and I sold it to a collector for $150. and he towed it away.

Between then and now I have owned 23 cars.

This is a 1963 Corvair, the car in photo is just a googled photo of a '63 corvair, my Corvair was similar and same color.

1979 Ford Mustang Cobra. 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder.

The same four, six and eight-cylinder engines were used as before, with the addition of a turbocharged 4-banger that developed 140 hp (same as the 302 V-8 version).

Many people will claim that there wasn't a Cobra in '79, but I had the door and dash emblems to prove it.

Too bad I don't have pictures. I had to buy a clutch and pressure plate for it and they were the same part number as the V8.

B reg (1984) FSO Polonez bought for 450 quid in England in 1991.

It featured a rear heated back window and 5 speed gearbox (1.5L) I had the 'Prima' version which meant it came with extras and yes, it was that color like on the image.

My first car was/is a 1992 Toyota Corolla.

Pros:

Inherited.

Was at one time nice.

Four door + trunk = reasonable equipment hauling space.

Gas mileage.

Only 98k miles :)

Cons:

That thing's got an EFI!

Sounds like a damn ricer stock.

Is a damn ricer.

Hasn't been regularly driven for years.

Interior is wrecked up from years of family use.

No damn extras! In '92 there were powered windows, locks, and top windows! This one didn't even come with cruise control stock.

Current status:

Chilling outside our garage in a useless state.

- a tire, battery, and window.

But it's okay. About to pick up a '91 Camaro with T-tops :) And also possible a Buick Electra. Power to the people!

    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.

    • My current phone, on left, is starting to go to sleep, and not turning on, even though I press the power button 100 times. Like CPR.   I tried factory resetting it, and nothing changed. So it's the hardware failing. I currently am using Twigby as my service provider. Cheapest I can get around here. But all their phones are carp.. https://www.twigby.com/shop/twigby-phones A friend warned me about the Moto G, as his neice has one, and isn't that good at $130. Also the Samsung A15 is laughable at best. Everything else is expensive af. I want android, (hate iOS) any version, that works with Twigby, under $100, please. Refurbished/Used is OK with me, as long as it isn't beat up.   If you know the IMEI number, you can see if it works with Twigby: https://www.twigby.com/page/byod
