There's no denying that the Big Bug is the best car in the world. Not my favorite - not by a long shot - but the best. Comfortable, luxurious, and it can do 253 in relative comfort. With the Veyron, VW made a record-breaker that wasn't a stripped-down, pothole-killed racer with an untameable engine. They made a car that could be driven by the talentless billionaires they knew would buy it. A car that had a horsepower gauge mounted next to stereo that, on it's own, is worth $30,000. A car with a Spyker-style interior, but safety measures in place to assure safety in high speed runs. A car that knows not to put down its full power if some idiot turns more than 45 degrees on the wheel. A car that is, beyond a doubt and beyond the SSC or the Agera, was, is, and will be the best. But it's not my favorite. I appreciate it for the masterpiece it is, but as far as what it stands for, its appeal is lost on me. Nonetheless, saying someone is "a moron" for picking the Veyron is a bit harsh; maybe that sort of thing appeals to them, maybe they need to have the best. But that doesn't mean we can't see through it and pick our true favorites. -Leadfoot

Quite a collection in that Reventon pic. Polizei Gallardo (the actual Polizei, not ), Murci R-GT, Diablo GT... :D -Leadfoot

I'm assuming that was the issue. As we know from Djey and Dredgy's tools, they had many slots lined up for cars that were never added and cars that could never be added (namely, BMW and Porsche, due to their licensing issues). Given that these names are present regardless of license status, it's safe to assume that they just threw the names (and some of the cars) in before they got permission. In the end, the RX-8 got the cut. -Leadfoot

I just noticed today that every image has an "Ads by gumgum" tag on it, and was wondering if this is simply a new Imageshack marketing strategy, or if it's a TDUC thing. Normally, I would be okay with this minor frustration, but after scrolling over the banner and learning that our precious COTM winner was tarnished by an ad by "gumgum," I have begun to think otherwise. If this is a TDUC-related (and not Imageshack), maybe we can find a different place to upload the banner. If not, maybe we should recommend other upload methods. :) Or maybe it's just my location that's affected. Just pointing it out. :) -Leadfoot

:( I have so many memories of that place. *sigh* But things change, I suppose. Maybe the TDU2 forums can turn into a close-knit community five years from now, too. -Leadfoot

They are all beautiful beyond words, but I applaud you especially for making TDU's CTS-V look good. :) -Leadfoot

Someone needs to put this in their sig. :p Agreed, lol, and this: Actually don't. I might be sick. :p -Leadfoot

Entry changed to something more applicable to the theme. :) -Leadfoot

Oh, I'm glad they announced the announcement of the beta release date. :rolleyes: When do we get the date for the date of the release date announcement of the beta? -Leadfoot

Went down to Cape Cod this past weekend (though I doubt anyone noticed I was gone), and saw the following: Bentley Continental GT Six-Wheeled Hummer H2! Several 911s Not too exciting, actually... -Leadfoot

Voted him. It's difficult to get the "graffiti" look in games, especially with Shift's vinyl mechanisms, and even more difficult to make it look good. :) -Leadfoot

Just tried the demo (on PS3), and it was fun for a little while. Then I realized that the traffic jams you've meticulously built up unload once your out of sight, along with the enemies you've built up for a challenge. So it gets old fast, but it is a good "wreck cars with friends" game. -Leadfoot

Yeah, the Jalopnik Comment of the Day sums it up pretty similarly... *CLICK (But NSFW language, as this is Jalopnik...)* -Leadfoot

Be sure to post artful pics and stuff. :) But I don't need to ask, do I? I will be getting my learner's permit in three weeks. :D Then I can drive one of these babies*. Yeah, you all want one - I can tell. :cheeky: Thankfully, my parents agreed to pay the insurance this year. *Not mine, obviously. Maybe I'll post pics later. -Leadfoot

I was pretty infuriated about the delay of TDU2, but now I'm a bit happier: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- Actually, make that a lot happier. :D -Leadfoot

Yeesh! :eek: Hope insurance covers it. @everyone posting crash pics: It's probably a better idea to post them in this thread. -Leadfoot

It does indeed look cool. Might try it on PC and PS3 (if it's available on the latter). @Reaper (way at the top): That Mooney Bravo is cool, probably one of my favorite planes in FSX (well, the original game, at least ;) ). One of my friends' parents actually has one. :) -Leadfoot

Brilliant as always - I still can't pick a favorite. :thumbsup: -Leadfoot

Oh, so the signed-up beta participants get exclusive items? Good for them! That's so nice, Atari - you give an exclusive play of the game to them, and they get more stuff. Here's an idea - give us the beta or give us exclusive content. Let us choose, because you are clearly too incompetent to make any decisions. Case in point - did anyone actually buy Alone in the Dark? I don't know about any of you, but I don't know anyone who has played it. I haven't even seen any ads for it, or seen it promoted specifically. I don't even know what it's about! And what was their excuse for not doing anything with TDU or TDU2? Oh yeah - they needed to finish Alone in the Dark (you can't even abbreviate it! AitD? Seriously?). Anyone know how many copies of TDU were sold versus Alone in the Dark? Actually, Atari, here's another idea - get your priorities straight. We shouldn't need release dates for trailers or betas; you shouldn't be THAT SLOW. Work steadily on the game, don't cut funding, provide a steady flow of un-hyped trailers/screenshots, and send an email about whether you did or did not get into the beta. I know they're not listening, but maybe we can all take a step back and look at the ridiculousness of the situation. :rolleyes: -Leadfoot

The white wheels are an interesting addition. Like the low-to-the-ground pool shots. :) -Leadfoot

I believe he was referring to the Camaro. -Leadfoot

It's cool and all, but when I see this, all I can think of is this. :confused: :p -Leadfoot

I saw the Lambo fiasco on Jalopnik and TopSpeed a bit back. It's still a shame. :( I wonder what those policemen thought when they realized, "Hey, people who see this car smile. They are happy. It raises morale." And then realized that they just impounded it for doing just that. Eh? :confused: -Leadfoot

Celebrating your new car, eh? ;) Nice shots! -Leadfoot
