I bought my friends Driving Force from the GT3 days when we were hoping GT4 came out in the next 3 years for 20 us dollars. Been working ever since, not a problem. Works great for me with LFS.
Just unlocked S2 last night, and love the autocrossing. I plan to compete in real autocross events this whole summer. I did a couple last year, but it was at the end of the year so I didn't get much for experience.
