    There is definitely a big enough sample size to determine what cars are reliable and what aren't.

    Have you tried Googling anything like

    Failure rates of 200X Y Z.

    Failure rates of 2007 Chevy Malibu
    Average maintenance of 2010 dodge dart
    2012 BMW M4 reliability, 10 year cost
    Most reliable German luxury car
    Average life span of Honda Civic
    Repair costs of 2014 VW Jetta

    There's a ton of statistics on failure rates and maintenance costs of literally any car out there.

    I just know dodge gave us the most problems over all. Mechanical failures and electrical problems early on. The Chevys crapped out early too. We always get at least 250k miles on the fords.

    These aren’t just standard highway miles either. These things are ran rough on lightly maintained lease roads made of caliche just scattered through open fields.

    For instance, look up 32.24400 -102.22240 on google maps. It’s the “Mabee” lease with oil wells for Chevron, Oxy, & Concho Resources. I’m sure it looks weird to someone outside of the oilfield but it looks like that all over this part of Texas. We have to drive these trucks on miles & miles of bumpy lease roads everyday so they take a beating.

    Damn that's pretty crazy. When you say 1ton trucks are you referring to 550's and 650's or are they just heavy frame standard trucks like 350's

    Dude, 550's and 650's are like personal semi-trucks. I'd call those 3-ton trucks lol

    I just googled all of those and the only numbers I could find were for the annual repair costs of a dart/jetta. The majority of what I saw was other people's personal experiences, minus a forbes article that I didn't finish.

    There honestly isn't much there to see, and the majority of links were more individual cases. I'm not trying to prove you wrong here or something lol I just want to see actual numbers on why ford is bad and so on

    It's the same deal with phones and really any product. I hear from different people how good their phone is and how **** other companies are but I see conflicting evidence and preferences all the time. Just pointing out something that I find a little silly. It's almost like politics

    I mean...this IS WAYWO. If you read about it here, it's obviously true. Stop being so pessimistic.

    I had a friend that rode in a Ford once. He said it smelled nice and it got him to where he needed to go, so Fords are alright with me. :yes:

    Alright guys, get ready for my next map. It should be done in... I don't know when because Sik is doing the art... but it will get done. Once sik has done his thing, I'll try to contact some people about the key scripting. It shouldn't be hard, because we already have the key door script saved so all I need is for the key man cannons to only show up when a key guy is near them. That sounds ezpz for the gods of scripting.

    That moment when forge becomes so advanced that we all refer to a "scripting pass" as part of the design process

    All depends on how people use the cars. It's helpful to remember that when you drive one that isn't yours - it's also, however, useful to extract from the cars' owners a 'type' of owner, and a 'type' of usage. I don't think I need to go too far afield to state with pretty good certainty that the majority of pre-2005 Honda Civic owners are those who bought the car to modify it (dropped, bagged, stanced, air intakes, turbos, v-tec swaps, fart cans.....). Nor do I have to go too far afield to state that most Bentley owners try to care for their cars - there's a push and pull between the user and the vehicle and the manufacturers much like with video games.

    I still haven't written my essay...

    I saw a Dutch article about a writer on car choice and I didn't read the whole thing but the message of it was this;

    "You think you have individual freedom in your car or car choice. You don't, a car is a cage and most people aren't 100% aware of their choice. The choice depends on their environment, job, partner, neighbours, friends, kids, ambition, education and income.
    A car is bought emotionally and then defended rationally.

    From a book called 'You are what you drive'.

    Oh well...

    Today the judges have finished with the preliminary round of the 1v1 contest. As a reminder, maps in the preliminary round were disqualified if ALL FOUR judges had it on their list to be disqualified. 50 maps advance to round 1 of using the rubric scale. Here maps that score 9/15 or above after the judges scores are averaged will advance to round 2.

    You can check if your map advanced to the next round on Trello.



    If your map did not advance then you are free to modify your files once again. Better luck next time to the forgers who did not make the cut!
