    Highly bitchin', however, I'll stick with a big-ass monitor and my Momo-wheeled feedback steering wheel clamped to a desk.

    /old but still pretty good

    Plus, I spend my money on games which are at least semi-random.

    I've got a 300Hp 300Ft*lb simulator that is like the real thing when you take it to a track. You know I stopped playing Graand Turismo after I actually got out on a track.

    I can think of better ways to get that racing feel for $500...
    plus safety equipment...
    and entry fees.

    Thats cool and all but I'm going to be cracking out the welder and tubing bender for mine. Nothing says racing like a tubeframe.

    How has Hyundai's QC been lately? My only experiences with the company have been the small bunch of dumb problems my old roommate had with her Elantra, and that one time I sat in a Tiburon at the NY IAS. I'm interested in the Genesis for the same reasons other people are, but I'm still a bit skeptical of how "well made" they are.

    The cross-drilled aluminum shifter adds probably 5+ hp, but it keeps your palm from getting sweaty while your driving to the Blockbuster to flirt with the hottie behind the counter.


    I never did that.

    You interrupted my Albert King for THAT? Drifting (for me at least) is getting a bit old, unless it's as a technical exercise for something like Gymkhana. Time to go watch some Ken Block videos...

    In reply to New Prius Vs. Fusion Hybrid Vs. Honda Insight: Which Hybrid Should You Buy?
    Has anyone else wondered why there aren't any diesel hybrids?


    Also, I get the point of a hybrid in stop and go traffic, and not so much for long stints on a freeway. I know that hybrids would greatly improve the quality of air in India where (and I'm not making this up), the average speed in a big city like Bangalore is 10 mph.


    And as much as we like the simplicity of diesels, no diesel is going to come close to the *in-city* mileage of the Prius. So it really depends on the situation where you plan to use the car.
