RaceFFPod /// Jaime | $3M Altima, Gran Turismo Gold S-Licenses, and The Chassis Code Challenge!
from ninetyoneoctane · host The Apex of Automotive News
On this episode, a 40-year-old man has taken an unusual legal route by suing the creators of Gran Turismo for not granting him a pro driver status after he achieved gold on his first attempt in every S License mission. This raises questions about the transformative power of video games and whether one's virtual achievements can translate into real-life pursuits. Shifting gears, the automotive world witnessed some jaw-dropping sales, including a zero-mile Nissan Altima fetching a staggering $3 million in a Bring-a-Trailer auction, alongside a 36k mile Geo Metro Convertible and a 1988 Yugo selling for surprising prices. Speculations arise about future collector cars, leaving us pondering the potential value of a decent-condition 100k mile EG Civic in 25 years. Meanwhile, an 18-year-old man's financial journey took an unexpected turn as he transformed into a financial guru after financing a used Charger with zero down-payment and a daunting 40% APR, prompting reflections on the worst financial mistakes and the credibility of such self-made experts. In the realm of automotive stunts, a "stance kid" achieved an astounding 90 degrees of camber, causing his car to take flight like the Back to the Future Delorean. This phenomenon sparks discussions about owning Deloreans, favorite car movies, and the most clapped out car ever driven. The interview touches on current cars, plans, and future prospects, as well as the evolution of the RaceFFPod podcast and racing aspirations. Lastly, the Chassis Code Challenge adds some friendly competition as we go head to head with our guest to see who knows more chassis codes!
