btw, the tires on that miata are the falken ziex ze912 - the same tires i have on my accord. these tires are H rated, so they won't be able to stand to go faster than 135MPH. they handle pretty good for an all season tire, but there are definitely better tires out there, such as the stock rx8 tire - the bridgestone potenza re040.

that miata overall though is a hawt little car though!

but will you also get your hard drive and face plate back, that is the question.

Well, if you do get everything back, you'll have one of these waiting for you when you put your forza 3 disc in.

My newest creation.

I'll be picking up MW2 for the PC at Christmas. Forza 3 will hold me over until then and I'll hopefully be getting it a couple weeks before Christmas.

Keith, the car looks great!

I also wanted to tell you guys that we have 5 for sure people coming to the meet this Saturday if any of you are interested. 3 red s4 FCs and 1 red FD with his white AE86 buddy so far.

Happy Call of Duty Day Cesar

So, tell us how it was for the midnight release...how long did it take to get your copy, how long did you play last night, and are you getting sick yet at work

I may pick up the game today, still haven't decided yet, given I still am making my way through career mode in Forza 3.....and Assassins Creed 2 is coming out next week, and then Bioshock 2 and then, and then....I think I am just going to change my occupation to professional game player...as that would be much more fun

I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking to one of the editors of the G4 show....he was talking about a controversial start to the game, where you basically have the option of playing a portion of the game from the terrorist viewpoint. The game starts off with this, but gives you the option to skip it with a warning prior to starting.

It provides a big part of the plot, but has been making headlines with the news agencies given our current climate and world of terrorism.

He also spoke breifly about online multiplayer, and said that there are "perks" (I think he used the wrong word) at kill levels online, with 25 consecutive kills providing you an option to call in a tacticle nuke which ends the round and gives your side the victory.

A nuke, wow!

He also stated that sales from today should outnumber any other entertainment release...with the expectation to outsell the previous leaders with the Harry Potter book series, and the Halo series.

MW2 has the advantage over Halo though, because Halo was for Xbox only, and MW2 is for PS3, xbox and pC.
