Big winter storm coming here in Kentucky. We are expecting 6-10 inches and 10+ inches in the higher elevations. Will take pictures soon as it falls. :)

I'm gonna say about October 2010

Spyker was thinking very seriously about buying Saab there for a week or two. As much as I love GM, I hope they realize what a grave mistake they are making. Saab is a niche brand but they sell quite well in places. And their new 9-5 is proof that they can build an amaing car if they put forth the effort. They had so much technology as well. Their Cross-Wheel-Drive system (their version of AWD) was fantastic and their Turbo engines ran flawlessly. I really hope they realize what they are doing and keep Saab going.

Actually, the Aston Martin DB4 Zagato is $3,000,000 from the showroom. And the Ferrari 250 GTO from the DLC is 5,000,000 from the showroom.

I voted yes. This car has gained so much notoriety that it might as well be put in. People already know what the car is and it wouldn't do too badly with the F-class cars.

Well I think it's a convertible. I win!

I am pretty sure the entire TDU:C community hates MB at this point. No one else gets to see the amount of epic cars he does lol

The Lania Stratos is epic. One of the most fun cars in the game I reckon.

It's not that I have no faith in you, but, did you read that somewhere or something? Because that is quite an epic quote.

Merry CHRISTmas to all. Everyone remember the reason for the season :) I will be eating, and sleeping, and eating some more. But, most of all, I won't have work for 2 weeks (my only time off all year lol). Xbox time, here I come. :)

I think a permanent ban is pretty harsh and unnecessary. I broke the rules so i won't mind if I do get banned. But still, permanent sounds too drastic to me. I'm still not banned yet though.

I did the glitch, I am guilty. There were cars I wanted. I don't have time to do 8 laps around Sebring and 7 laps around Laguna Seca just to get 5,000 credits. I broke the rules so refuse to complain about a punishment. I honestly think they are bluffing but in the event they are not, I'll just play TDU for a week, that's fine by me. My problem is this: The reason they give for enforcing the rules. Their reason is because people who do the money glitching have an unfair advantage when buying the Unicorn Cars in the Auction House when they become avaliable. This will not solve the problem. Now, instead of money-glitching, people will simply hire a driver to do an endurance race repeatedly or they will race the same oval-track race 1000 times. There are still ways to get the money, they simply take longer.

Turn 10 has decided it's a good idea to punish those who took advantage of the money glitch that was operatible at the game's release. In their latest blog, they explain that banning my be a bit harsh but must be done. They have a list of the gamertags of all of those who took part in the glitching. To keep from getting banned, you can buy a Ford Focus RS from the Auction House that Turn10 is putting up. They cost 10 million each. The reason for this? High credit counts drive the prices of most cars, particularly unicorn cars, up on the Auction House, making it near impossible for regular players to attain them. Here's my problem: They already fixed the glitch, why wait 2 weeks to punish those who took part? Next, look at their reasoning! What is the difference between doing this, and doing the same oval race 1000 times a day or hiring a driver to do races for you repeatedly? This glitch was just a faster way of getting the same result. This is a post that RCFourFive made on Forza Central that really sums it up perfectly: If they didnt make the races such low payout and make upgrades unrealisticly expensive then people would not be so incented to look for credit glithes. It's that simple. The game's arrogant "persona" matches that of its creators - they think they have "the greatest sim engine since the beginning of time" when all they really have is a pretty cool game that has a livery editor and an easy way for players to trade objects. The arrogance of wanting ban users for exploiting a blatant programming flaw is outrageous. Think about it, Turn 10 failed to find the MONEY GLITCH during beta testing - are they that stupid and inept? My 9 year old daughter found their "glitch" the first day Turn 10 gifted us a car - the message popped up and we read it, and then immidiatly backed out to the front menu and went to the XBox Dashboard to download the theme. Upon restarting the game you find the mods you just sold to raise CR5,000 are still on the car, but you got the money - now whose fault is it really that Turn 10 mase such a rooky programming mistake as to NOT write the upgrade change to the game save at the time they write the CREDIT increase?? This really wasnt so much a "glitch" as an embarrasing rookie programming mistake NOT caught by their beta testers. THEY KNEW from FM1 and FM2 people would looking for these kinds of errors - yet they STILL went gold with their game with bugs galore. Banning users is the way Dan Groenewald sleeps well at night. What a pathetic way to deal with his own inept programmers by punishing the people who PAY his FREAKING SALARY. Perhaps FM3 players who are banned for this should turn around and file a class action lawsuit against Turn 10 for yet again selling bug ridden software and coverng their own backsides by turning on the very people who BUY their products. What's next? They going to ban players who decide to grind the same oval track 1000 times and make money? Or the players that run 6 Lemans Races per night with hired drivers while they wathc television? For goodness sakes man, the GAME is supposed to be a fantasy relief from real-life where yo ugetto play with cars.... whats their obsession with trying to turn this into a WOW MMORPG?

No one ever said it wasn't a good car and no one ever said that it cannot beat "pretty much anything around the same price as it." The negative remarks made are based upon people opinion, the opinion that they may not like the car.

I was going to say something but it looks like tWm already said everything I was planning to so I will simply say +1 to his post and stay quiet lol

Mike is correct in saying that the American Buick Regal is the equivalent to the Insigna. The Buick is more expensive, a bit bigger, and has more options to choose from.

I'm not angry at anyone, so I'm not really sure what you are talking about. Like MB said, the ZR1 would have had potential to be a classic if it wasn't a remake of an existing car. I don't have a problem with this.

The Viper just won't be a classic. End. There is nothing extremely special about the Viper that people are going to remember years from now. It got respect on the 'Ring, but it's already been beaten...by a European car. And it's most definately not going to make Ferrari, Lamborgini, Porsche, etc work any harder than they do now on their carsr. People are just not going to cross-shop a 599 or a Murcielago with a Viper, it's just not going to happen, I don't care how fast it is. Ferrari and Lamborghini know this, they know it well.

His opinion wasn't biased, there was simply no decent American representation there. I do believe the Magnum will make a classic. But none of the others will. The ZR1 is a remake. The CTS is stupid fast, but it's not a car that is going out of production anytime soon and they sell alot of them. The Ford GT is already a classic from the 60s. And the Dodge Viper just doesn't have what it takes to be a classic.

I thought the whole episode was epic from start to finish. There was no point at which I was unimpressed. The first apperance of the Sandero is epic.

L25? What is that? *edit: wait, never mind, I'm an idiot. Level 25. I gotcha now lol

I'm fine with whatever they send us. I just sell them all lol. I will use that R1 car most likely. But, I got about 110k out of the R8 and the RX8 so they can send me all they want too lol, I am just making money off of it.

It is truely epic. Never to be forgotten, that's for sure.

Well, forzamotorsport.net is not stupid anymore :) Carerra GT on Fijumi Kaido :D Same picture, but with a Veyron this time. And this one is for tWm :)
