SoonerLS Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I would suggest a device to lay an oil slick, but I think the British have a patent on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfeg Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well, going back to the late 60s, GM had an option to spray a goo called "Liquid Tire Chain" on the rear tires of certain models. Lets update that for the Mustang - push a button and "bleach" is sprayed onto the rear tires for an even smokier burnout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Wii-mps........... I will freely admit that I'm not a big gamer. I also have an XBox 360, just don't use either much. With 3 little kids, Mario Kart is actually more fun than "real" racing games. Edited December 12, 2013 by fordmantpw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't play as much as I used to, thanks to 2 little kids and a dissertation in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I've had Playstations since day one (it's for the kids honey!). A few years ago I bought a logitech steering wheel and pedals (metal) for Gran Turismo 5 (just got GT6 two days ago) and with a 73" 3D tv it's as close to a real driving simulator as you can get. Real race drivers use them to train with. I know when I drove that porsche 911 turbo on the track it was amazing how similar it was and how much of the simulator translated to the real track and car. My 3 favorite games are Gran Turismo, Guitar Hero and Crash Bandicoot. I haven't gotten into COD or any of those and probably won't. I wonder how many other 50 yr olds are still playing video games? Ours was the first generation that grew up with them (the quarter ones in the arcade). My favorites were Tempest, Defender, Galaga and Star Wars.

Anthony Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I've never played Mario Kart I have 2 Playstation 3's. I think I might have played one game on them. I use one primarily for Blu-Ray / streaming and the other the kids use for their games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
