One of these, exactly: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- Specialized Hardrock Disc. :) Love it! -Leadfoot

Will be downloading this. :) Great work on the high-resolution stickers! -Leadfoot

Happy birthday! Enjoy the special day when you see your name at the bottom. :) Hey, did you know that in a group of 23 people, there is a 50% chance of someone else having a birthday on the same day? Interesting, isn't it... ;) -Leadfoot

Are those drift tires or racing slicks? They would certainly look cool as drift tires. :) -Leadfoot

Interesting. The BMW badge, displaying aircraft heritage in color and black and white. :) Looks a lot like a WWII machine gun sight, doesn't it? Of course, they weren't exactly fighting for freedom, but... :rolleyes: -Leadfoot

Oh, the possibilities! A DBS, a DB5, FRAPS, and two people to film drifting around corners. :) -Leadfoot

I'd say enter this one, but that's just my preference. :) -Leadfoot

Hey, I worked hard on that "2012" rant! :p -Leadfoot

I know your joking, but I just have to put this in: I hated that movie. Why did I hate that movie? Simply put, it was a plotless letdown by the man who brings us only disasters movies, and it seemed to be created purely for trailers and as a technical showcase. The conflict, both character and external, were terribly thought-up and easily forgotten, while the fact that everyone was from Los Angeles (the trademark of a bad movie) just pushed any shreds of dignity and hope over a newly created cliff and into a pool of lava. The physics and the realism normally don't bother me too much, as I am a science-fiction fan and writer, but I have to nitpick with "2012." How about this scene, which I think there are four of spread throughout the film's length? A man is running from fiery death. Ground opens up behind him, keeping pace with his running speed (he's in a freshly-cleaned suit, so let's assume this is five mph). The man slips, and an attractive women who yells for him to "hurry up," in a caring voice (I didn't know they had those, but moving on :cheeky: ). The man falls off the newly-formed 50-mile tall cliff that stares into the lava reserves of the earth's crust. Out of sheer kindness, the cliff waits for him to struggle out. Propelled by generic trumpet fanfare, he does. Once he sprints to the plane (grabbing his oh-so-necessary folding tourist map of top-secret government land), the land begins to fall again, eating away at the runway. The plane, which takes fifteen minutes to warm up in real life, (or about an hour if we're referring to the Antonov that they use at one point) begins to move. The ground continues to ripple as they reach takeoff speed (let's say forty for the twin-engine prop, 190 for the Antonov), the ground continues falling away right behind them. Keep in mind it was matching pace with the man's running at just five. The plane takes off and the moment it leaves the ground falls away and - this is the good part/bad part - THE PLANE FALLS WITH IT! Now, normally, the physics work as such that a plane, once its in the air, will stay at that altitude, no matter what the ground does beneath it. This does not happen in the fun-filled universe of death and destruction that is "2012." In 2012, every plane must fall into a crevasse that has opened in some city (which is on fire, of course). Also, the plane must be flown by a plastic surgeon and filled with Lambos and Fezzas and McLarens. And the "heroes" must choose a Bentley. That's just one example. Want more? :cheeky: -Leadfoot

I love the E39. If I won the lottery, it would be the first car I would buy, before any Astons or Ferraris (they would come, of course). I've actually done some research on how much they cost, and they're actually pretty affordable. $14-$20k USD. It would be a pretty nice "out of college" car. -Leadfoot

I like how the angle and lighting show that LP670's front vents in full detail. :drool: -Leadfoot

At two months a car, it'll be out in... thirty-four years and eight months! On second thought, maybe that's why its taking so long. Oh, well. At least we have a release date - November 15, 2041! -Leadfoot

Looks good! Since there are three (?) articulated trucks in TDU's traffic (car carrier, tanker truck, and standard box truck), will you be doing different trailers for this cab? -Leadfoot

Absolutely! :) My parent's friends have this awesome-looking 2007 E350. It's black-on-black and has those top-of-the-line Mercedes standard wheels. Looks unbelievably awesome. I'll try to get a pic. *Not my ultimate dream car, jus' sayin'. :) -Leadfoot

I'm not old enough to drive yet (four days, fingers crossed), but I know from being in cars with people and with TDU cruising. 1. Snow Patrol - Shut Your Eyes (great "start of journey" song) - Listen to this before the others - doesn't work otherwise :cheeky: ) Even gets you into the driving/road trip spirit when you're in a school bus! :p 2. Crystal Method - Born Too Slow (one of the few songs I listen to in its entirety.) *Only reliable YouTube version for the full version. The NFS version sounds good, too. :) 3. Anything from the NFS:HP2 soundtrack. 4. Kill Bill Theme (WARNING - May inspire delusions of driving abilities) -Leadfoot [mod edit:] Please embed a maximum of 2 videos, thanks!

Ferrari 575. People overlook it, but its actually very low riding, and looks awesome in real life. :) Was just going for a quick bike ride at 6:30, so I didn't have a camera. :( -Leadfoot

Quick! No more tree talk! :whistle: -Leadfoot

E'hem - does that relate to a tree? :cheeky: -Leadfoot

The Saleen Mustang would probably work for the Mustang - but that is confusing with the whole "Extreme/Supercharged/Blah." If you made it the top version of the S281 Coupe, it'd probably be easier to remember. -Leadfoot

There are a lot of cars that use glue. :) In fact, most body panels on cheap cars (not just lightweight sports cars) are plastic and utilize glue. Slight aside/offtopic: My friend's dad owns the carbon-fiber manufacturing company that makes the body panels for the Corvette (base, Z06 and ZR1) and the Shelby GT500/KR/Super Snake (they also make Kevlar armor, but that's not important right now :cheeky: ), and for his Science project one year, he brought in the front quarter panel of a base C6 and a Z06 (there was no ZR1 at this time), and compared them. You think plastic would be pretty light, right? The carbon fiber felt about a quarter of the weight! And all that is, basically, is fiber and glue. Slight more offtopic: I was able to say the thing at his booth for a while, because I already knew more about his topic (uses of carbon fiber) than he did. :cheeky: -Leadfoot

lolwut? -Leadfoot

To "TDUCk (no) Updates," maybe? Let's make up some names, people! -Leadfoot

That Camaro needs sidepipes! Nice shots! :) -Leadfoot

-Leadfoot

I have a feeling it's in his range of magical powers to fix that... ;) -Leadfoot
