Never been a fan of racing games. My thumbs can't do what my hands on a wheel and feet dancing on the three pedal can do.

My game love is flying. I wish they made a real flight sim for PS3 instead the pseudo fighter jet games. MS Flight Simulator FTW! That and of course first-person military games like COD and what not.

If you have the PS3 try out GT5. I have not tried out any other driving games so I can't compare them personally. I read a BBS and the overall comparisons rate GT5 above Forza for racing (instead of just gaming). Downside is you do have to spend some time driving before you can buy all the preferred cars. I'm up to 800+ of the 1,040 in the game.
welcome back! haha.. never heard of Home video library..
havent picked up GT5 yet but i have prolog and it was good..

Head? sounds like a good excuse to post some pics of the ex-girlfriend...

OK, can't seem to get that one to up-load. How about some car porn. Polished the car today. Couldn't get the sheet metal hot enough to remove the big scratches but the smaller ones came out.

EDiT: Finally got it. Here is some SFW porn of my ex 10 years ago...

^She dumped me!
It was the classic game of chase. First I told her she was ugly and not my type, which sparked her interest. Then I chased her until I got tired and gave up. Then she came at me with all the "I really wana be with you" bullshit, and I fell for it. Right about a week after I started to fall hard, she gave me the "I'm confused, I think we need to spend some time apart."
\:silvermad/
So maybe I should FB her.

Can't make her jealous because she knows I'm too old and fat to get a hottie and too broke to pay for affection. Pretty much stuck with her...

pussy whipped:
1) adj - situation whereupon a male is undeniably at the mercy of his high-maintinence girlfriend & answers to her every beck and call, usually followed by the reprioritizing of girlfriend over friends, family, school, food, water, and air.
(2) adj - making decisions based on the incentive of sex.
(1) omg, tom's girl has him so fucking pussy whipped that instead of going to the yankees game with me and the boys, he spent his whole weekend at the pottery barn expo, picking out ceramic cats and china patterns. ::insert cracking bull-whip sound HERE::
(2) if she didn't give it up all the time, he wouldn't be so goddamned pussy whipped.

Never attempt to make a wife jealous, it always ends up with her winning and you begging for forgiveness.

Pussy Whipped = Married. Check and mate.

Marcus, did you seal the paint yet on the RDX? If not this is what I use (ideal for dark colored cars):



HEED THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE!!!!

Don't let it dry on the paint. To quote VO - "or you'll be sorry".

If you rub it in and then immediately remove it as you go, it'll add a great depth to the paint. If you let it dry at all, it'll be almost impossible to remove and in the process you'll have to rub so hard that you'll rub streaks into the paint.

Just use it properly and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the product info. The RDX is just sitting in the garage while I'm on vacation, so I'll pick some up and finish the job. I'm still sick so I haven't done anything except raise my score on Shift2 UNLEASHED!

Yeah I'm dealing with a damned sore throat. This dry weather is pwning my sinuses.

You should.... lol

Last time RT touched my car was when I was thinking of buy an RDX many moons ago. The sales manager took it for a spin of course to gauge its "value" thing was sitting in the lot after I walked on 'em with my front bumper popped... hmmm wonder how that happened. Told the manager he said it was like that... ass holes

When I was in there the other morning picking up my plates, I went to the parts counter to buy the addon rear cargo liner. The guy behind the counter was Todd, the parts manager. He recognized me and gave me $30 off the price I'd been quoted before without me even asking. :p

Parts at RT = ok, sales at RT = lame. Have had much better experiences at A of P. It's just the side of town really. However, since then I have vowed no dealer will drive my car. Fire it up, let it idle, throw some revs, look under the hood, do a walk around that's more than enough to gauge the value.

Huh. I've bought 2 cars from RT, and helped a friend buy one 2 weeks ago. The internet sales guys have been nothing but excellent. Both James and Rich are awesome.

You're just a hostile purchaser because you have played the game and you know how it works from the inside. Thing is, these guys are so chill, it's not even like buying a car...lol.

Yes that is very true. After selling you know the game and you don't like playing it.. Funny thing is I always let the sales guy know that I used to sell cars, give him the dealership name, managers I worked under and they will STILL try to play the game. I just get frustrated with it and blow myself out. lol
