That's some news that I'd like to and not like to hear.
It's great because we're getting a new car and a good car with good performance.
It isn't great because after reading this thread, I went to find more info on it and figured out that the Scirocco won't come to America because it might compete with the VW Rabbit...
Oh well, at least I get to drive it "virtually". I wish there could be some in-game shots of the car so we can get a feel of what it looks like.
I wonder how they can pump concrete up there without it beginning to harden up...
All I know is that the concrete is very special since it has to support such a huge building and every batch made has to be checked.
Blondes don't think about anything. That's why they vanish. (not that they don't but that's what the joke says)
A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?“
It looks like it fails in the first place. I don't even see a hint of anyone I could recognize except for the orange suit Goku usually wears. He needs his funky hair back too.
I thought Dragonball covered his kid years and then they skipped all the way to his adult years in DBZ. Oh well.
In general you should get a Core 2 Duo CPU like an E8500 or an Extreme processor if you know how to overclock. LFS isn't multithreaded yet so you can get away using a dual core CPU because it is faster. If you really want to burn all that money away, get a QX9775. You also need a good motherboard that supports the processors (and I don't know crap about them).
Depending on the screen size, you should get certain graphic cards. The best ATI card would be the HD4870. THe best Nvidia card would be the GTX 280. The GTX 280 is really fast but it's also power hungry. You shouldn't pay too much money for an awesome graphics card for LFS because LFS relies quite a lot on the CPU, unless you like to play Crisis or something.
You want more than 2GB RAM. 32 bit operating systems have a 4GB RAM limit (or maybe less) while 64 bit Operating systems have a 8GB RAM limit. You also want it fast, like 1066 MHz fast.
But you should wait until fall because Intel is releasing new CPUs that fit on different motherboards and your new PC wouldn't be so new anymore.
LFS isn't as intensive as other games either so you can spend about $500 dollars on a PC and get pretty decent performance.
That's the best example of how everybody can't give a damn about someone's problems, no matter how big or small.
On the internet, you can be as disgustingly repulsive as far as the limits of your mind go and no one can really track you down (with the exception of hackers and the special agencies).
I don't think that the acutal Raceabout makers designed the car with a hardtop in mind. I've combed through Google and found nothing except for the Electric Raceabout.
Playing online: You would have to download them and seeing that a lot of people might take a chance to mod the car, you'll end up with a lot of mods, and some really really bad ones that just take up space. I wouldn't want to be racing against a 500 HP FBM in an FBM server anyways because that's just unfair.
Playing offline: It's pretty boring after a while. You can't upload hotlaps otherwise it will get an OOS error (I think?) and that hotlap isn't allowed. AI's are smarter but aren't intelligent enough to drive modded cars as well we do.
Also, there are copyright issues. If someone made a really popular mod of a real car in really good detail and someone from the company found out, we're screwed. If the dev's added a car that they currently own to the game but they didn't get permission from the company who made it, we're screwed.
If people want to help the dev's add new cars and tracks, I don't think their help would be taken because as far as I know, the devs want to do it themselves.
I'm not totally against modding but I think the devs aren't ready for it.
Anyways, the question was answered, but not to some people's liking because unfortunately, we can't have it that way for now so this topic is done.
It adds content to the game and anyone could use it. And if you see people jumping on the chance to get their hands on say... LFSTweak, Mechanik, model mods, etc., wait until this is allowed, some of the people will go nuts.
Sound? As in nothing is coming out of your speakers?
Things you could do:
Check if sound card is seated properly
Go to BIOS and change the integrated sound to PCI
Download sound card drivers
Configure the sound card in audio options
Check in device manager for the audio device.

This anime season is not doing as well as I had hoped. Chiko is not being subbed, Zero no Tsukaima is starting to go into more boring matters, and the good anime is not going to come out in a while.
I wouldn't recommend this site to someone who says they have a license when it's pretty clear they don't...
Gills, I got your Champ Car sound and it literally blew my ears away. It sounded almost like the real thing even with clipping but sadly, I don't use the F08 often.
Reminds me of the Cloverfield site where you could interact with pictures.
Now you can interact with feeds and even watch them eat Chinese food.
Mmm.. eggrolls.
When Firefox 3.0 was realeased, they recommended that you should also go to content.notify.interval in the about:config menu and set it to the same number as nglayout.initialpaint.delay.
I can't agree more. I don't like hybrids because they are believed to solve all the gaseous woes a person may have when it nearly comes down to their driving ability. What's worse is that they're deathly silent. I almost had a Toyota Highlander hybrid run me over because I thought that something was ringing in my ear (when in fact, it was the electric motor). They even stuck one in a Tahoe and called it the green car of the year (htf is that green?). I respect the fact that there are those who really know how to use a hybrid well and get really good gas millage or they're stuck in a really crowded city and need that electric motor to prevent from idling but it waters down to your driving ability and you're responsible for it. I don't hate them with a passion, I just don't think that people should embrace it as the solution to everything.
On the other hand, I coached my mom to drive more economically on the Sienna and it's starting to pay off bit by bit. The average MPG got bumped up by 0.1! Now we're getting somewhere!
Practice is always very important. So is knowing the course.
But what is most important to me is keeping consistancy (which I suck at currently). Only worry about your momentum because a small mistake can mess you up in the following sections and then you have to build that momentum back up again. If you can keep the momentum going, then you can speed up each time since you can take the corners in the same way, but faster.
