Family Haulers [1980] [REVIEW POSTED]

[Leonardo9613]

This is the car I'm using to join this challenge, the massive Baltazar Kashmir, in entry-level 3.0 BS spec.

This massive car was designed to take on the best that the world could offer, but not in this version, with its measly 125 hp, coming from a DOHC 3.0 24 valve engine. However, considering the 110 mph top speed and 13s 0-60 time, all that tech was of no use. Still, it is very easy to drive, quite comfy and very safe. This fails to be a Volvo in only two categories: it isn't as reliable, but it is far sexier.

(for the record I died a little bit inside making this)

The sign of a true corporate shill. Excellent.

Year 1980 The current dictatorial goverment doesnt have as much of a tight grip as before and More protests and subversion was taking hold and and new winds were boling through the FMU factory, 3 new firsts, the first station wagon, the new generation the Pampero and a new 16 valve cylinder head to top it off.

Cooking up a 1980 LHE. I am liking what everyone else has, this looks and feels very 'buhahahaha emissions killed the family sports car'.

Im digging it.

I'd like to note that I have received a number of entries that give a LUA error relating to headlights. This doesn't necessarily mean that you're using illegal headlights (unless you are), but rather it's a generic LUA error that is received when either the model LUAs are corrupt, or the original installation of Automation is corrupt. If you get a PM from me that you're getting that error, be prepared to reinstall automation, and recreate your car from scratch. It doesn't seem to have any bearing on the engine files, so when you rebuild your car you can save time by putting your existing engine into it if you like.

If you're running the Steam version I would suggest doing a file verification first before a re-install, if you're on the standalone I personally suggest moving to Steam since it is faster on the updates and fixes corrupted files much easier otherwise a full uninstall then re-install is your only choice on the standalone.

Thanks for the tip, sir
My car is one of the 4 that wasn't loading, so I decided to validate the files, turns out that there were 99 corrupted game files.

Unlike the '78 Murina XC, the Pteropus actually came standard with pretty decent fittings, including quite sophisticated safety features for the time. The engine on the base model, however, was a variation on the same 1.6L SOHC inline-4 that so inadequately powered the Murina - meaning you'll be quite grateful for the 8-track player while you wait for the car to creak its way up from 0 to 62 mph.

DMA Introduces the F-80 compact family car.

True to DMA tradition the engine is excessively built, though the engineers don't seem to be able to design a pretty car.

Space is filling up quickly. I'm guessing this contest will end early, so don't delay if you want to participate!
