Not to mention that you had to buy the demo and then wait a over a year to play the game and if the game disapoints they will be in big trouble. It has to be a pretty darn gone damn good game to take that long in development.

El Nerdo how do you like this shirt! http://shirt.woot.com/

For those of you living in Fontana (cesar keith) there is a hearing tonight regarding the water increase hike http://www.fontana.org/index.htm

I agree, Forza will probably be out before GT5.
No, you did not have to buy the "demo".
Look at the Prologue, it is more complete then other "full version" games.

I hear the problem GT5 is having is certain car companies are throwing a fit over the damage physics they're putting into the game. Ferrari is refusing to let them show ANY damage on their cars.

That doesn't apply to us Northern North Fontana, right next to Rancho residents.
That's only for the area that gets water from Fontana Water.
I can't remember the name of who we pay, but it's different.

i won't be able to do the cruise next year.
when we were in laughlin i found out my tires
were going bad on the inside, so i had them
flipped to get a little more life out of them.
the problem with that is there's very little
tread on the outside now, but a whole lot
on the inside...

Should we have the mods rename the old thread? Or does someone want to start a new one?

Stock Potenzas made it to about 18,000
Kumho MX's lasted about 19k

thats funny.

My stock tires lasted abot 11,000 miles
the Kumho Ecsta SPT's were on the car when I sold it (19,000). they were due to be replaced soon. (so 9,000 total miles or so)

yeah, I like twisties.



oh, just for the fun of it. we got roughly 80 - 100 miles out of our V710's

from the looks of it Casey, you got the new gasket....did it end up being one piece or was there a separate piece for the CAS?

Have a chance to check the wiring/connections....was that the issue? (fingers crossed).

Loren, that is some sick drifting.....if you are trying to find a room online, and see it listed as a 75 lap race, that is a drifting room...check one out sometime.

I did really well on the first 8 or so, usually within 1-3 units but then I accidentally clicked on the screen and it registered me 50 units off. It was all downhill after that.

Since my score was fubar'd, I then proceeded to see how quickly I could finish.
I'll retake and give an actual score later today. My eyes are still trying to readjust
