Same here! In the STCC heats I'm always nervous in fear that Jakg will take me out! 
No serious, I like it when I'm getting nervous. Shows that I enjoy the game.
Look at it that way: Your body is trying to put you in a condition of best awareness. Alright, it might be a bad idea to put your arms into condition to beat someone down when you're trying to balance a FZ5 - but all in all it's an enjoyable ride.

You'll need to increase the screen resolution in LFS. Small step-by-step tutorial:
1. Rightclick on your desktop-background of windows. Select 'Settings' from the menu.
2. Select the index card 'Settings' and remember the numbers it says under 'resolution'. Mine says 1280x1024. Also remember the color depth. Mine is 32 bit.
3. Exit that dialogue and start LFS. Click 'Options' and then select 'Screen' on the left side hand.
4. Select the resolution and color depth you remembered.
If that isn't satisfactory yet, increase the desktop resolution in the dialogue under step 2. If the process fails because your monitor can't display that resolution it'll reset itself after 15 seconds, so it's fail-safe as long as you don't panic and click around wildly. If you found a higher resolution your monitor can handle, select it in LFS using the method described above.
If the above was successful you might want to think about increasing image quality further using antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, but that would be a longer guide.
Hope that helps.

About the necessary time for a skin:
This FZ5 skin was made in one evening using the GIMP. If you have an idea it really doesn't take that long to execute it - even if you have to do difficult aligning.
Also, I made a simple skin on request that used only basic color-schemes, as on a real semi-pro racecar. That was done in 2 hours and gave a pretty cool club-racing effect.

Unless of course you can't read. Like f.e. drifters.

When I play that game I keep reading "273 hp" as in horsepowers and think 'sweet '...
Then later I read "20000 hp" and go "Wait, something's not quite right there
illepall " until I remember it's supposed to mean hitpoints...
Though 20000 horsepower would explain why they are almost unstoppable. 5 upgraded towers and quite some upgraded watertowers weren't able to stop them.

Get's my support. Some designs: Here's the Raeder Lamborghini Gallardo (listen to it here - great sound!), the Alzen Porsche 996 Turbo "Turbinchen" and the ZakSpeed Dodge Viper GTS-R ViperJet.
That cover's them all. Front, mid and rear engine.

I had an old 9800XT and bought an Arctic Cooling Silencer for it and the situation was identical. They still use the very same pads.
I bought some cheaptastic heatsinks from the local store, glued them on and it worked like a charm (but watch out wether the new GPU cooler leaves enough space for the RAM-heatsinks!). It also worked without the heatsinks, but I intended to overclock the card (because it was damn slow!).

@Electronics: In a modern car you don't tell the car anymore which way to want the front wheels to be pointing, you tell the car which direction you want to drive.
Which is also why people are crashing. They think that you use the steering wheel to make a car go around a corner. Or that the brakes are there to make the car go slower.

The only class of cars that doesn't need indicators is the quickest class on the track. All others want indicators so they can let quicker cars through.
(Of course without the automatic-turn-off mechanism, so you can indicate longer than one turn.)

@Bladerunner: In german it's similarly uncommon/disliked.
But, is that specific phrase gramatically incorrect or logically incorrect? Logically two inversions void each other, but strict logics don't always apply to commonly used terms of spoken language.

I'm not going to support any event of you that isn't called "Road Sport Summer Cup".
I'm still waiting for season two.

I only know languages where it's usually negative. In italian double negative is negative ('non ho niente'), in german it can be negative ('kein garnichts'), and in english it's also usually negative ('not eat nothing').

You failed to understand the principle of ricing!
See in the attachment how I cunningly placed three Arctic Cooling stickers on my case, even though there is only one product currently present. Also notice the Gigabyte-sticker, which is also from a product that no longer resides in the case. But no, the system runs win2k SP4, so there really isn't any TCPA-software on it, though the hardware is present.
And other indicators of incredible craftsmanship are the DVD-device that isn't in the place it should be, so I always have to open the door to access it, and the black thing in the floppy-slot, which is a 80GB hard-drive which isn't where it is supposed to be either.

There are good looking modern cars.
But most look horrible.
There are cars like the Mercedes A class I basically hate. But why not take a look at the Audi A3 (quattro, anyone?) or BMW E87? I also kind of like the Seat Leon, and I wouldn't mind a Ford Focus WRC either. With a bit of creativity you could turn the Smart Roadster Coupe into a nice 4WD turbocharged fun-vehicle.

We usually remove the relays that automatically cancel the indicators from cars for track usage. It doesn't safe much weight, but a lot of trouble. That way you don't have to care about the indicator when you drive through a couple of turns while indicating to one side to route a few quicker cars through.
Otherwise the indicator would go off every few seconds and you have to reset them while you are negotiating a turn while watching those quicker cars in your mirrors.

The avatar also changes on all old posts, so you don't actually need a test-posting.

40 cars is a minimum for me. Though I'm willing to make a compromise for now.
