Welcome! Nice to see a girl with a pretty wide range of gaming interest, especially with a handful of 'manly' games.:DHow the boys look at ur 'passion'?

thnx guys...I'm not a real pro at this, I have been occasionally using PS for my work for over 10 yrs though. I can't be bothered to do this pic over again in better quality, but u could send me the other one to [email protected] and I'll try it when I got time. It's a fairly complex job so no promises and I hope u don't need it too soon...;)

Maybe true, but u'd never say 'don't buy a Mustang convertible, or u'll crash it and die!' would u? Ppl are afraid of little cars 'cause there's not much of a mass around u to protect u on impact, but this stays as a mental barrier issue... Nothing can save u from truck smashing but Smart is as safe as any other normal car. It wouldn't get four stars otherwise...

Speed? Handling? Truck hitting? Really that would be enough! Smart is downtown city car and all those crap means nothing. If u want a grand tourer though, Smart is truly not an option. If u'll use the car in jammed city areas and not be bothered about ur petrol head image, u should be fine. Otherwise buy urself a real car. Or a motorbike...

U mean like this? http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/image_0.jpg Yup, ull be dead :oook:

Old SmartForTwo City Coupe got 3 stars, but new '08 Smart For Two got one star more, so that's something. u have many end user review sites to check, like this one so u better search there...http://www.carsurvey.org/

hmmm...in the first pic pretty large bolide area is missing..the only way is to find normal pic of the same bolide and use it..or maybe the right side can be used mirrored..:umm:...the net can be restored though...the second pic is much easier to fix...maybe I'll try :rolleyes: edit: 1024/683 pixels only? Isn't this a bit low for some serious editing? Try to post something to work with. editedit: Here's the second pic a bit fixed...not a pro attempt but that's all u'll get for free. For more advanced work, please consider a little donation for our team of enthusiasts...;) http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/3412054302_a2e5a462ee_c.jpg [mod edit:] Please do not post images larger than 800w x 640h, use a thumbnail or a text link instead, thanks!

Good job Happy. U should only fix the roof and bonnet outlines and it will be perfect ;)

I think the parents did it and blamed the poor kid while he was not there to defend himself. It will be their word or his....rich parents trying to teach their spoiled son a lesson...;)

This old theme / new theme thing is a bit silly, don't u think? What's wrong with the old one? So what if it's a crappy pic, we won't print it for a billboard :rolleyes:

:wtf:uhm...er....I forgot I have some urgent business....*leaves quietly*

HAPPY BEARDAY TOUGHSPEED!! :cheers::woot:

If u mean BOT racers in the singleplayer mode, then yeah. Human players appears when spawning in front of u in the same manner. It would be much better if cars spawn in some hidden spaces (public garages maybe?) so we can't actually see them 'puffing' ;) But u can also notice no traffic car can be seen at the dead-end roads and never spawn there. Theirs favorite place for this is right in front of u when doing 100mph....:cheeky: Of course, real mirrors would decrease the frame rate drastically, everyone would need a monster CPU for such an irrelevant feature. It would be cool to see ur reflection in some shop-window though ;)

I like this car just the way it is....so I only made little adjustments on the scene department :D http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/PToTW/volvo_S_Looney.jpg

If this is not a fake, it illustrates how indifferent ppl have become lately and not only to others. I bet if those passersby were not there to actually indicate him what might have happened, he would happily walk away and take a bus home...:crackup:

I only swear when hurt myself, some retarded driver comes on my way when I'm in hurry, when really out-of-my-head angry. I hate when ppl swearing just because of theirs limited vocabulary, like an extension for their poor language and there are more of them every day...

Not too accurate but some details are similar. There's lot of dusty roads in the real island which are highways in the game. On the other hand, some really complex junctions in reality are totally simplified in game, some beyond common sense. Anyways, see for urself. Compare Google maps with the game and u'll see that maybe 0,1% of all buildings are included in virtual Oahu. Many of the vast green areas in game are actually densely populated in life.

Beautiful car Beautiful car Beautiful car can be discussed, not ugly for sure .....but this one is ugly for anyone! '00 Kada Klaudiusz http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/ugly%20cars/2000Kada_Klaudiusz.jpg See what I mean?

yup that's why I think the beautiful and ugly cars threads can be easily joined and we can continue arguing about the same car being ugly and beautiful at the same time. And that's why I think we should concentrate on cars which can not possibly be pretty to anyone sane....like this one..'36 Stout Carab

Hey this is really a cute little car and a subzero dashboard! :D NorWay to go! :thumbsup:

It's OK Mellors... modern plastic surgery does wonders these days..:cheeky:

Agree...actually I saw more nice cars here than in other thread with 'beautiful' cars... No one thought of Mitsuoka yet?? I wonder if this is a word for 'hideous' in Japanese :D http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/ugly%20cars/th_07-08-03-mitsuoka-orochi.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/ugly%20cars/th_TorqueOmata1705.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/ugly%20cars/th_mitsuoka-mustang.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/ugly%20cars/th_mitsuoka-viewt-f3q-a.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/ugly%20cars/th_mitsuoka_classic_type-f_10439.jpg They all are like they came off some car cartoon

hmhm I hope some of ya didn't actually believe I look like a yellow crash dummy...:D >>>http://forum.turboduck.net/showpost.php?p=119911&postcount=515 this is for those who did :cheeky:http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/wroomster/th_the_pic_of_BobbyV.jpg here I am, eating and fooling around in...well...u could say some kind of 'tavern' two kids at the back (blue/purple shirt) are supposed to be mine

Don't be so sure. The graphic certainly won't be the same, it will be more or less enhanced and most definitely much much more demanding. New hardware must be sold, u like it or not. If it is out in the early '10, I believe QuadCore with 9K series top range GPU should be enough for medium pleasure...

OMFG that ISUZU Zen Concept is just ingenious! It's so unmannerly and arrogantly designed I LOVE IT!! WANNA HAVE ONE!!! uhm...just to make something clear: I also love the looks of Ford Fusion and actually own one, so maybe u'll understand my point of view...:D oh yes...there IS a beautiful van...I just saw one ;)
