I love driving over crap and being generally destructive, especially in big ass trucks like a Range Rover or the Rambo Lambo, but the racing physics . . . seriously, it's like automatic dorifuto mode every time you try to turn.

Painful to play back to back with Forza 6.

Jusy wait til you launch a Ranger rover off a hill at 342mph.

That is not a typo.

Gearing or glitch to finally break 300?

Feasible legitimately to break 300mph with certain cars. Glitch to push nearly anything to 350+.

Such is the charm of the game, and why my 8 year old has completed it already while I play it casually maybe once a week.

We like to make completely insane "Bucket List" challenges for each other.

You would enjoy the things we've done. Spec Vandura, the driftmero, 350mph range rovers....and the nestle strawberry milk donk to name a few.

speaking of the chevy pedo van in the game, who did the GRM logo on a van in the game for driver tatars? I did a street race the other night and could not miss the GRM on the side of a chevy van.

I might start playing again when that comes out. I have zero interest in the Porsches, but hot wheels could be fun.

Depends on which one. I've done two, I think other have done them as well. I did the tore up one on the vandura and the one on the ford transit. I did a legitimate pedo van, and it got me banned. I do not know what I did with the picture.

Edit- Halfway down page 3.

How in the hell are you guys getting a Range Rover to 342 MPH?

I did a grm transit van with the lsd van. I'll have to check my inventory I might have done the Chevy van too.

My flying miata logo is still doing fairly well download wise, even on non miata cars.

5 more days to finish this play through of the witcher 3 before hot wheels.

There's a glitch. The short version is you trick the Speedo into seeing a negative value, while only being able to register positive ones. So what it does to compensate is rocket the thing forward until it hits 0, and then can go back to the normal value set.

Tldr- someone figured out how to make it work like a pullback car. We've seen nearly 300mph in the Gurkha too.

Maybe it's the same "I downloaded but you manually need to install me" situation that came with blizzard mountain?

I won't have a chance to download till later,but go through and check your ready to install games/files.

Edit: 45 minutes later, not even a hint that it's available to download or anything.

I can only find one listing in the play store and its $80. I already paid for the expansion pass though.

Final edit: had to go to the store location of forza, click on the expensive pack, and go through to find hot wheels and install from there.

I love how they bury these updates

That's ridiculous, um downloading it now, didn't realize I still couldn't play.

Starting to have second thoughts about forza 7 now honestly.

Forza 5 and 6 were kinda letdown for me. I never considered 7 tbh.

When I started the game, it did the download. Then, I "bought" all the free cars. Then, I went to the Hot Wheels icon on the main map. It prompted me to install. Nowhere near all the drama everybody else seems to have had.

Oh, and, it's giving me free copies of the cars I already got for free as well. Bonus!
