Heads up for y'all, there's a rumor that Best Buy is going to be pre-selling Windows 7 Home Premium for $49.99...

I'd totally do the research for ya', but I've got my hands tied up fighting with Abit over this POS motherboard, that is *supposed* to still be under warranty... >.<

Picking up a copy of Official PlayStation Mag has cemented my opinion that SHIFT is essentially going to be a ProStreet 2. The way they described it had ProStreet all over it.

But Prostreet was a hybrid and Shift wont be. Plus Prostreet didnt have a cockpit view or this driver profile feature.

I'll "try" SHIFT, but I'm sticking with Gran Turismo for now.

I have no doubts that SHIFT will most likely be one of the best NFS' we've seen in a while, but that's why I said ProStreet 2 AEC. Same game, but with a couple of new features.

What do u mean think about what you buy? I needed a good 64 bit OS... It had to be Windows... erm... so yeah. It's Vista 64bit only and I didn't need more than home premium.

They're probably making fun of the media. It's all over the place, and a Schumistig is very unlikely.

Yeah I'd say Schumi is definitely not the Stig, but he was probably the one driving the FXX since it was his car. And his hot lap in the Liana was epic :lol:

It should be. Because if it's not, they're not testing different cars, but different drivers.

You can only have the same person do it for so long -.- But I have a Top Gear book where they've listed some of the former stigs, lol.

So I just spent the last several hours detailing the Miata. First off, ArmorAll is excellent. Secondly, it looks and feels so much better. Everything's actually black, now, like it's supposed to be, instead of a dingy brown, and I can feel the texture of the leather when I slide around in the seat. :D

Now I just have to save up enough money to get that gash in the left side of the car fixed. :/
