Haha that's awesome. We have similar things happen here at my college. The buses have a route that cuts across a portion of the campus. The bus driver's have a button they push to open up some gates to allow them through and once they're through the gates close. Some idiot people try to follow the buses for a shortcut and the gates close on their vehicle and trap them there. It's always good for a laugh.
IMO they only sound good because the things are directly in the ear canal, blocking out most other sounds so all you get is the music. The kind that are kind of like this http://mobilitytoday.com/vbmcms/images/bt-headphones.JPG allow a bit of outside noise so the music is drowned out a little bit more. The in-ear ones, for this reason, also are said to cause more damage to your hearing.
All that plus uncomfortable having a piece of plastic stretching your ear canal.....I like the other ones like that jpg image above.
Have had one for almost two years now and love it. I used to carry two huge cd cases in my car to handle all of my cds. Now with the iPod I have put 900+ songs on it. I can hook it up directly to my car's cd player via male-male audio jack and aux input on my headunit. And I can hook it up to my computer to play through iTunes, which I do daily while I sit and do my college work.
I don't know which generation mine is. I never paid attention to that. It has the click wheel thing though and no color screen. Also 40gig's of space with not even 4gig's taken up with 900+ songs. PLENTY of room.
I have gotten a few scares out of it though. A few months ago it kept skipping real bad. Sometimes it would just stop playing altogether. I thought maybe the battery was just going dead completely. Turned out I just put a corrupted mp3 on it though. So once I cleared that out it was back to smooth sailing.
Downfalls of an iPod? Well for me, the included headphones are junk and hurt my ears. I tossed them away almost instantly. Also the screen can get scratched really easily. My way around this is to find some super clear tape about 2 inches wide to cover the entire screen. It looks a little tacky where the edges of the tape are coming up, but it saves the screen.
You've probably heard stories about the batteries not lasting. I dunno about anyone else but mine is still going, and still rechargeable after nearly 2 years. And when it does die I'm just going to follow this http://www.ipodbattery.com/slimipodinstall.htm to do my own replacement instead of the expensive shipping back to Apple for a replacement iPod method.

Well here the race is playing on Speed channel right now and I just saw the Pedrosa incident. Wow Hayden is extremely pissed. I can't read lips but I would guess about 80% of what's coming out of his mouth is cuss words :-D What a bummer for him
I remember playing Rock 'n Roll Racing on my Sega Genesis. One of my favorite games for sure!
This vNES is great, thanks for link highsider!Ad-aware, Spybot S&D, Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition(free from my college :-) ) is what I use. Also Regseeker to clean the registry once in awhile, and MRU-Blaster to get rid of useless MRU lists and such. Antivirus scans every night at 4am and I manually run everything else about once a week.
Pretty much just contradicting yourself. If everyone has nitrous then no one has an advantage. It wouldn't create more passes. We'd have the same amount of passing, just happening at higher speeds with this nitrous boost. Seems really pointless for circuit racing. Besides, a lot of people can't even control the rear wheel drive vehicles as they are. We'd have people hammering the nitrous button out of a corner and spinning like crazy. Or nitrous being used on the start, everyone heading toward the first corner at an even higher speed, and causing greater crashes than what happens already.
I would only agree to nitrous being used in the drag races, if at all.
Pretty sure it's a Louis Vuitton pattern similar to http://louis-vuitton-news.newslib.com/img/logo/5749.jpg Can clearly see some of the symbols match.
Where you edit your D.O.B. in your profile you can also set the privacy for it to show up or not. Make sure you had that as Display Age and Date of Birth
Cause he's an idiot. I see this all the time on a show called Police Videos that comes on a billion times a day here. Dummy's running from the cops down the highway, turn too suddenly to switch lanes and they're toasted.
So did everyone stop playing already?
I'll go with £85.00 since no one has guessed in the eighty's yet.
You're right, the burning fuel isn't capable of reaching the melting point of steel. However the fuel can reach a temp hot enough to decrease the strength of steel and expand the steel. The decrease in strength will cause the beams to sag, and the expansion will crack the concrete walls the beams are inserted in.

I swear I'm RBR-jinxed or something. I've been playing for hours all day just fine. Then I try the online US rally and my controller isn't centered. The car steers to the right the entire time. Made it super difficult but I was still doing alright. Unfortunately I took on too much damage and the 20min service stations aren't enough time to fix what I needed so damage just kept increasing. Killed the engine and retired on Stage 6.
I can't do a clean run to save my life.
I use the "behind the car" view. I would destroy the car in seconds with cockpit view with out being able to tell if I'm wide or cutting a turn short. Cockpit just doesn't feel real to me so I might as well use a non-real view anyways where I drive better.
Seen it before but never actually took the time to try playing it before.

Haha, basically just constant clicking and dropping wtfbombs until i died.

GB rally was pretty horrid for me. I'm gonna take a stab at the Japan rally next. Great work spankmeyer setting these up and even including a little website for it :-)
Japan wasn't much better but somehow I finished second overall, wayyyyy off the pace of Vain in first place though. I had to "call for help" way too many times and each time is +45 seconds. I couldn't stay concentrated on what I was doing and kept missing the pacenotes. Still tons a fun like always though!

I'll take place in these tourny's asap....right now I'm stormed with work and studying. Being a senior in college and wanting to play video games really sucks lol
I so just read your first sentence competely wrong and igored your second sentence. Thought you were saying the tournament site came back this morning. Got myself a little excited...but......:Kick_Can_
How would I know that he's into LFS? I'm not going to research his username to see if he plays LFS 
I like other sims besides LFS too, and even games that aren't considered sims
but I'm not going to post a negative comment on a game's video saying that there is something better. I just find it funny that he posted what he did. And I'm sure eventually that video will be full of rfactor vs lfs comments.
