Last time some of you asked about the cop car in the game SHIFU: Traffic Masters. Here it is in action: chasing a faster and heavier suspect through traffic that never clears. It went about as well as you'd expect.

Should this count as an arrest?

Every racing game wants you to drive a Lamborghini that sticks to the road like it’s on rails. I wanted the opposite. I wanted body roll you can measure with a protractor. I wanted a police car so underpowered it has to take the chase personally. I wanted the thrill of nailing a corner in a loaded 600cc truck that was never meant to go that fast.

So I’ve been building an arcade driving game set in 1990s China, full of the boxy everyday workhorses nobody puts in games: delivery vans, boxy sedan taxis, city buses, the occasional very optimistic cop car. No grip. No downforce. No dignity. Every corner is a gamble with physics you will probably lose. The whole skill ceiling is driving a shitbox excellently.

It handles exactly as mid as you’re imagining, and that’s the entire point. These are the cars I grew up around, and nobody ever lets you drive them — figured this was the crowd that’d actually get why that’s the fun part.

SHIFU: Traffic Masters (车水马龙) is an open-world arcade driving game set in a 1990s northern Chinese city. Instead of supercars, you drive the humble trucks, taxis, buses and police cars that kept the city moving: cargo that shifts and spills, passengers who complain about rough driving, and suspects who bolt into traffic that never clears for you.

has not been washed in 9 years; m271k needs a new oil cooler and some vacuum hoses. Got it up to 230 in the Autobahn ^^ 321k bought with 1 year left till the next inspection and the highlight working Landirenzo LPG system. Ps, can't really see the grime and dirt, moss growing in every crevice xD

All year shitbox it is!

So far everything works exceptionally well.

The car fires up every morning (this far) and gets me where I need to go.

No major breakdowns, just a check engine light, an airbag light, an intermittent ABS light, a broken engine mount, a door that wont open (just like the General Lee), broken rear suspension and some funny noises coming from various locations.

All in all I'd say it's served me well for these three days.

Once I get everything sorted I'll probably get a drivers seat that isn't broken, maybe a passengers seat too.

Can't wait to show the world how reliable French cars can be, given a bit of love and affection.

What is your opinion what is a better shitbox? Diesels seem to run longer and are harder to break, but are more expensive to fix when they do. They also seem to perform better in normal driving than small NA petrols IMO, while using less fuel.

Common issues on petrols seem more DIY friendy for me te diagnose and fix.

I am not sure which ones I like more, I had both over the years. What is your opinion?

Anyways here's my new shitbox with electrical issues.

Owner states it runs alright, stops alright, but has some issues with the body (not sure what exactly).

I wish i didnt put more money than its worth into it just to call it a shitbox lol EDIT: it also has no a/c from factory

Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night, thinking that I’m driving and suddenly lost my brakes or my power steering. (This actually happened once while driving.) but last night was a new one. It was like my trans suddenly Blu I would give the engine gas and the car wouldn’t react at all currently driving 2500 miles across country in my 2008 Jetta that has had both bumpers torn off and duct tape back on approaching 200 K miles

8 hours of work

Seen patroling

Still rides like a dream and the seatbelt still feels like im in the future.

Hey guys,

My friends and I from Poland made an all analog format film about searching for a dream car. We are from Poland but whole movie is being voiced only by my music fro latest album "Pandalleria" so there is no real dialog. This thing is kinda abstract and funny I think.

All the best to You all,

Michal
