^^^ Awsome!


:EDIT: I'm glad you decided this. Leaving your car unpainted is one of those things a kid in a Honda would do because he could come up with the $400 for the body kit, but could not come up with the $1,000 plus to get it fitted right and painted. I am glad you came to your senses quickly. when you get it done you will love it!!!

our power went out due to the big *** storm that came though... it was pretty cool!

NASCAR style racing was fun the other night! we need to get everyone else in on it. I just need to fine tune the car. I HATE how it drives now. it is soooooo looooose.

NASCAR Skins...Cobalt, the new car of tomorrow

There are some old skool Nascars that are available on Buick Regals....I purchases a ton of them last night. If anyone is interested in trying out some Speedway with some, I would be willing to gift you one in exchange for a gifted RX8......?

Here are some of the Nascar skins I have made. Loren, your #99 Office Depot car is ready.

What I would like, is to make one skin for each of you....so that we can race around the speedway and re-enact some scenes from Talledega nights. Casey and I spent some time tuning them and they are definately fun...and there is some room for those who want high speed vs. stability.

Stability....with the Forza wing, you get 100 pounds of downforce and the car sticks like glue...negative, top speed seems to be about 196.

Speed...pull the wing off, use the stock bumpers, you get a top speed near 207, but its a little tricky in corner entry. I dropped tire pressure and it helped quite a bit, but still is quite technical to get around the track.


So far, here are the reserves of skins that have been made:

01-US ARMY Car = Speeddemon32
99-Office Depot Car = Lesper 4
48-Lowes Car = Kwescott
20-Hope Depot = (Available)


I have recently made a 20-Home Depot and Cesar has requested a 24-Dupont Car.

Requests/Reserves:

24-Dupont Paint Car = Cesaralaniz



With damage, collision, fuel and tires set to on...a 20 lap race is fun as heck....and, if you save the replay, you can see all the Nascar skins in their full glory.

So...who's up for a race?

you need an xbox dude....but, if your interested, you can search through the Forza website and look through their Fantasy Livery designs. Do a search for Star Wars and you'll be amazed at what those guys can do. Makes my stuff look like middle school artwork.
