November is a good time to get reacquainted with Assetto Corsa

I dusted off my Logitech steering wheel and played some Assetto Corsa this past weekend. I realized the steering ratio was way off and reset it to 900 degrees, and when I played afterwards, it reminded me how fun the game is. I managed to find and download the M3 and STi in the game. The M3 feels too fast compared to real life. I can do Calabogie East in 1:21 in the game when I do a high 1:30 in real life. I know I'm concervative in real life, but 9 seconds... Maybe if it were a pro driver, on slick tires... Anyway, it's still loads of fun. I also practiced the Nurburgring... gotta be ready for the next real life visit to the ultimate track... you never know!

E46 M3, SMG with 19 inch wheels but close enough

Civic coupe, but with a crazy 1.6 liter screamer

STi, not the right black, but close

Given that it hasn't snowed yet, there are still a bunch of cool cars on the road, including exotics and classics. There has been no progress on the Civic. The M3 is in the barn. The STi has just been rust-proofed and I'm enjoying driving it, mostly on weekends. I only just realized that the bluetooth function on the phone really works, as there is a microphone near the rear view mirror on the ceiling. 

RSX, not mint but still looking good

The MX5 is such a small car... a rare thing these days

Another cool small car... 300 hp Mini JCW

Getting rare: Ur-S4

Rare and strange, Hummer H2 pick-up

Super clean Hummer H1... restomod?

American Honda Insight... a model we did not get in Canada

Not a rare car, but this A4 was manual

RS7 looks pretty cool

New Civic hatch, also manual

Super clean early Audi TT

Matte green new Mini Countryman

I keep seeing this E24 635 CSi... when will it be mine?

V8 RS4

In front of me at the light, the STi's nemesis

Rare and clean Mitsubishi Eclipse

The Recaros that came with my Civic are patched up, cleaned up and for sale

The Deschaillons house on a sunny day

Another car I often see that I want to buy: a Civic EM1 SiR in Deschaillons

Nice aero on this M4

The STi was washed after the rustproofing

... looked pretty good in the sunlight

Bad parking for this Urus
