I used to own a Saab, and a lot of the time they could cram in generic parts instead of needing special saab parts. Why get a hideously expensive Saab radiator when the mechanic can pull a generic radiator off the shelf and be installing it

You could die in one section of Full Throttle, at which point the screen faded to black and the protagonist spoke. "No... that's not what happened." Then you start the scene over.

Have you ever tried to buy a server with only a single core for licensing reasons? It's impossible with modern hardware, the best we were able to do was a double core/single CPU system to run some oracle bits to talk to other ora
