Y'all have no idea how badly I want a movie about a drug-running IMSA racer based in Miami in the 80s, roughly inspired by the Whittingtons, the Pauls, and Randy Lanier. Complete with cops chasing a Porsche 962 filled with cocaine through downtown Miami.

for the 20th anniversary, this does a good job of showing how much the original series whipped (also how it was fundamentally about vibes, a thing the movie stripped down to entirely and cranked up to 11) youtu.be/N4H4tVuPE6c?...

We practice INTERNAL DEMOCRACY and thus can't get rid of the worthless Stalinists we entrust our FP plank to because no one else in the party has put any actual thought into natsec stuff due to it being "ick."

No racing sim's "career mode" is truly realistic unless it starts with a cutscene where you as a 7 year old ask your dad for a kart, and there's a 99/100 chance he says "no, we can't afford it", leading to an instant game over.
