It's because he looks so suspicious. Thought you were going to stop by the T10 office?

if we DL the car from the storefront, am I correct in thinking we can't examine the tune? (i know if it is "locked" we can't modify it, just wondering if we can see it without changing)

I have made some minor adjustments to the tune and re-uploaded it to the storefront under the same name. Please download the new version or send me a msg on xbl and I will gift it.

I'll have to remember to get it. Actually fired up and did some season play over the weekend. I'm up to R3s but went back & got in my F class VW. Started doing a series that is a different type of race that hadn't popped up before.

With Quik doing a complete spec I don't have to mess with a list of cars to attempt to go through. I've got my fingers crossed for this week. Although I'm not sure how much practice if any I'll get with it.

Then you'll probably be on the same level as I will be. No practice for me either :awe:

Don't sell yourself short. I was pretty sure I was going to spank that noob overst33r when he showed up...I think I've beaten him what, twice in the past two months?

Just ordered a hard drive and Forza 3 for my 360. I'm definitely looking forward to joining this once I get a bit of practice in. :)

EDIT: Should I get a mic, or is it not a big deal?

good idea to have a mic, as you need to warn people when you're passing etc. also to stammer out heartfelt apologies when you spin someone out on the last turn. :D

Alright, I'll try to pick one up. Buying Xbox accessories is slowly bankrupting me. :D

Definitely get a mic. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, you can pick up a used mic on ebay for $5.

*edit* and for you new guys make sure you add AnandTechGaming to your XBL friends list!

Yeah no mic this week still unless I break down and buy the *Messenger kit* which is the chatpad + a wired headset for $25. I want to get the TurtleBeach X41 wireless unit so I can listen to my netflix at a higher volume without disturbing the neighbors and don't feel like spending anything on the wired one. I may attempt to just cut out the section the cats demolished and do a makeshift repair with heatshrink and duct tape.

Got on last night for a little bit. Not sure how much you changed but it's alot better than the first one. The first one seemed real sluggish but the revised one runs alot better. I ran 2 laps with each at Leguna Seca and my lap time improved with v2 by around 4 secs.

Oh, you all will love this. Got home from work last night and my wife (who's a teacher and off for the summer) was watching some show on VH1. Don't remember the name but the premise is that they take daughters/wives of rich people and make them live a "normal" life...she thought it was really interesting.

Anyways, walked in as they were introducing one of the girls, her dad was a liposuction/plastic surgeon in guy in California and the family was absolutely loaded.

Daddy bought her a brand new Ferrari F430 Scuderia...and she totalled it while driving it off the parking lot...

Oh the crime!!!
