I hope you don't live anywhere near a ghetto...

I don't think people in a ghetto will be interested in mud tires and 8 lug 4x4 rims. My new truck came with Dana 60 Axles so I'm going to put them to good use. It's really trip, it's a decommissioned State Ranger truck. I've been working on it to make it a bit more civilized on the inside, but still rugged enough to go play in the woods or the beach.

Winning races in this car makes me happy. I think it upsets Veegie a bit.

I love that turn SO MUCH.
Also, Zex, stop reading my mind...I literally made the same smiley face on my Sprinter Trueno this morning...

Veegie. Tomorrow I check for Forza 2 at a Blockbuster. Then we Nurburgring it up.

That's that ridiculously long track on Gran Turismo 4, no?
I may have to pick up Forza 2, doesn't look like that bad of a game...

Fixed.
And yeah, it's pretty good. There's a decent range of cars, from basic econoboxes, to outrageous cars (Ferrari F50 GT), and everything in between. The dynamics of it are also great.

I knew it was a real track, just trying to figure out if it was that same track in Gran Turistmo, heh.
Sounds interesting, does it take a lot of work to get to those exotic cars, similarly to the GT series?

Veegie · Post by **Veegie** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 10:32 pm

You start out with a good amount.
It's absolutely the most realistic racing game out.
You can pick it up at Gamestop for $12.99, an absolute steal now.

You can just hop in and race with a pretty wide variety of cars. Like Veegie said, it is pretty cheap now, and worth it if you like track racing.

in b4 "Cafe is not Gamer's Corner." This is more popular, so I guess we can leave this up here without going to a separate Forza thread as well.

Sounds awesome, I'll have to pick it up sometime soon.

Talking about this has made me want to play GT4 again..

It is, and I have to agree. Are you a member of the official Porsche Owners club around here?

Tested the halo's today:

Need to flip the housings upside down and route the control wires inside the cabin.

Welcome to every other modified Civic I see...
All of those colors make me rage. It's fine if you would have a clear white or slightly yellow, like BMW halos...

Blues are illegal d00d. This kid I went to school with got a fix it ticket for having those blue LEDs on the windshield wiper sprayers with blue LEDs in them. Hope you don't mind riding a bit conspicuous, but I can't tell from the photo if they are intended to be that color.

That's true as well. Blue or red on the front is illegal here in UT, I believe.
