Bad dog.. put the paint brush down!

Thanks...I've been wanting to add one of my custom logos to a few of my tiny terrors...this makes it much more efficient.

@SJ,  I sent over a Subie for some flames.  Now I just have to figure out what to do with it when you send it back.  I always thought 4wd Subies were made for going fishing or skiing.  Thanks again!

@DD, thanks for the grouping tip.  I had wondered how to do that as well.

No problem, I'll fire up the 360 this evening and get it back over to you.  You're probably right.. not the best ride to put flames on, but it has kind of become one of my favorites and I've set most of my fastest B class times in it (that probably says as much about my limited stable as it does my lack of driving skills  ).

The "Flaming Subie" is awesome!  Really nice touch putting my GT on the door.     Thanks a million.  Let me know if you ever need any cars or anything.

I guess I'll tune 'er up to B and see what she can do.

Edit: Built it out as a B class car with full weight reduction on stock tires.  Beat my best time on Road Atlanta though my time still isn't all that great.  Car doesn't turn in all that well so you really have to enter turns early but, no surprise here with the 4wd, it really takes off in a straight line.

Anytime, John... 

Your WRX time on Atlanta was still almost a full 3 seconds better than mine    I had to go back and run it again tonight to try to get it a bit closer, but I'm still almost 1 1/2 seconds off your pace.

Here is the alter ego of the Flaming Subie ..

The "Frozen Subie"..

Wow....awesome paintjob.

[sjicedog]

thanks, fndr.... there are just too many facets of this game and it's become an obsession.. umm... err.. .hobby trying to tinker with all of them

[fndrbndr]

Know what you mean.  It's pretty much the only game that sees 360 time thesedays.

[sjicedog]

same here... funny thing is, I came across Forza purely by accident and now all my EA titles are collecting dust... I've also spent alot of additional time reading everything I can on suspensions, transmissions, race theory, etc on here, other online sources and in a couple of books that I bought so the scope of this addiction goes well beyond the console..

[fndrbndr]

What EA titles?  We might be able to get together for the worst madden game ever. lol

[sjicedog]

ha ha.. I had pretty much everything on the original xbox (NHL, NBA, NCAA football and bb, FIFA soccer, Tiger Woods, etc)  but I've got the 08 versions of NHL, NBA Live and NCAA Football... haven't played any of them online yet.... What do you think of Madden?  I liked the earlier ones but haven't had one since Madden 2002 and haven't gotten around to getting the 360 version.

[fndrbndr]

Honestly, I play more NCAA than madden.  Campus Legend mode is MUCH better than superstar mode.  Of course, it helps that I attend a college that's a conference champ, and my favorite pro team will be picking in the first five spots in the draft...hehe.  I actually prefer NCAA, but was guessing if you just had one, it'd be Madden.

[sjicedog]

As in RL, I'm a much bigger college fan, especially FB.  Just more excitement in the college game and emotion and momentum have a much larger impact than in the pros.  Conference champ, huh?  Are you a Golden Knight?  I remember those days, but we've taken a little hiatus.. hopefully we can scratch our way back into the B12 picture in a couple of years...

[fndrbndr]

Actually, yes, I finish my MA this spring, if I ever get this thesis written.  After that, I'll hopefully be a Seminole while I get my PhD.   

I'm usually more of a pro football fan, but I have to admit, I had more fun at the last UCF game I attended than at the last Falcons game.  I'd probably prefer watching the pro game life if the Falcons would improve a bit. hehe
