I never played VCS and i loved VC....am i missing out?

Hell yeah.

VCS is a full fledged GTA title and directly related to VC. You'd do well to pick it up.

That's not how it works, dude.

How does it work? I'm constantly told minorities have it tough because they are disadvantaged and that's why you see a lower socioeconomic status for minorities. If that's the case, then why can't I put the reason for all my problems on that?

No, because there are folks like myself who are also a minority group that have earned terminal degrees and are at the top of their careers.

Not saying there aren't people who have unfortunately been dealt a bad hand in life, but to blame your failures simply because of minority status is disingenuous, and frankly deceitful.

I have a credit card and have racked up over 100k in points based on my use. That equates to over $1,000 cash or up to ~$1,300 if I redeem for travel. Currently has a $0 balance.

Treat your credit card like a debit card and it literally becomes free money.

Luxury? Lol no.

I don't get this. I get giving me flak for the 4 Cyl, kinda expected that tbqh, but how does engine size equate luxury? The Alfa Romeo Four Cheese has a twin turbo 6 in it and the car world is in love with it.

I just like the CLA 45 better than the C43 for the price range (They cost about the same)

I'm not hating on you specifically but rather the idea of spending 70 thousand dollars on a car with a 4 cylinder engine under the pretense of "luxury." They tend to be loud, rough and unrefined.

That C43 would be where I'd spend my money quite frankly. Similar power, it's a more upmarket C-class, and it has a V6 engine.

what car do you have? if its a modern car there is a good chance it will just retard the timing and slightly reduce performance if you go just straight 89 octane.

Pretty much this. The engine won't run efficiently, so you'll probably lose some MPGs which negates any savings you were trying to get by going with a lower octane.

Me? I go with 93 (car asks for at least 91) because I'm not a cheapskate.

It's recommended for 91 you don't get any benefits if you go above what the manufacturer recommends because the engine wasn't designed to optimize at those ratings.

That's true, except that 91 octane isn't available where I live - only 87, 89, and 93. Believe me, if 91 was available, I'd run that.

4 banger? whats the point of a fast-ish car if it sounds like a broken vacuum cleaner?

This is why I hate the current fad of turbo 2.0 liter engines. You can currently spec a Mercedes E300 to over 70 grand with a lawnmower 2.0 liter turbo engine.

Luxury? Lol no.

spending 72k on a high strung AMG 4 banger? suit yourself

Keep in mind that 72 K is CAD. Which means Americans would be paying 59,000.

Still an absurd amount of money for a 4 banger.

And....it's not a real AMG. Doesn't even endorse the "one man, one engine" tradition.

Who are these 100 people and what type of venue are you speaking at?

This wouldn't even matter to me. If I'm giving a talk like that I'd at least look like an adult. Cargo shorts? C'mon bro.

I would put on a dress shirt, slacks and some decent shoes. A tie is overkill, but you rock it if you want.

I have something like 96% of the total karma I could've ever had since I started. That, plus minimal moderations (I've been suspended only once, I believe) help to keep all the karma I've earned.

What were you suspended for?

@Super_Saiyan_3_Goku

It was a post here on CE about the circumstances surrounding how Paul Walker died. It was a sensitive time, so I'll let that one go.
