#2 You had me at "rocket powered Lincoln Continental"
1989-1990 Dodge Caravan Turbo 5-speed
"trooper protection surfaces"?
My 1978 Datsun 280Z. Bought it 12 years ago, lived in OKC the whole time. I have driven to Montana, California, Ohio, numerous times and many places in between. Many trips to Texas too. Don't know how many miles that has been, but I would guess 100k or so.
BMW + Netherlands + burnout + dyke = accident waiting to happen.
Never had a Nintendo, but I played Crusin often enough, usually at my cousin's house, sometimes in arcades.
CARMAGEDDON!
And a couple of old school games that I played when I started out on PC games.
And of course Forza 4. Ferraris, Ferraris, Ferraris!
My 360 gaming hardware for the last 5 years. Great unit. Never had any problems, it was cheap and feels great to me. I also have a black Logitech Momo that I use with PS3 games and PC racing. Played iRacing for a while, very fun and stressful, but rewarding.
Grid was great fun and introduced me to and prepared me for the rewind feature in Forza 4.
But a long wait for Gran Turismo 5 finally paid off.
I got an XBox so Forza has slowly beaten out Gran Turismo in the last 7 years.
Back to the rally games with Colin McRae, 2.0, 3, 4, 2005. Then Dirt 1 and 2. (apparently marketed as Colin McRae games in non-US markets)
And of course, Burnout for some relaxing destruction a la Demolition Derby. Burnout 3: Takedown, and Burnout: Revenge, but not Paradise. (something about Paradise just didn't engage me)
Driver was more my kind of game than any of the GTAs, but they were in there too.
Need for Speed was in there too, but not too heavily.
Then my love affair with the WRC grew and demanded its hours. Meanwhile Gran Turismo 2 and then 3 would also vie for my affections.
