A Blown motor a day keeps the blood pressure okay.

I've got about 2 motors under my belt over about 5 years now? One was milage and the other was an oil leak, which was catostrophic to say the least.

I just downloaded the demo and this game is terrible, it is totally unplayable in that you cannot drive straight at any decent speed. I guess that is drifting physics or something.

Worst game ever!!!!

Whatever man. Just cause you can't drive, doesn't mean the game is crap.

The more you play that game the more your real world driving skills dwindle.

So you are agreeing with me that the game doesn't let you drive straight?

Need for Speed is an Arcade racer. Hardly anything about it is realistic LOL.

I had a hell of a time getting it to work on Vista. Finally when it does, I find that Im not really missing anything. Its exactly the same as NFS Most Wanted, just some more gimmicks. Looks like they are trying to pump them out each november for X-Mas season.

Not my fault that you drive like the gimpy, ADD-kid with the Jetta from 'The Fast and The Furious'.
