Oh my god.
It's a game for fucks sake. Who cares if the ordinance used by the
vehicles isn't the precise width it should be. Is it going to change how
the game plays. I think you have spent too much time with the rules.ini.
Try going outside and having some friends who you don't have to email
but for god's sake what ever you do, kill this damn thread.
