Saturday's meet would have been fun, wish I could have made it.

Wednesday won't work for me. Our CFO is in town so I can't play hooky that day.

Last Saturday I opted to go to a bar to watch the soccer match instead. After waiting an hour for a beer the waitress rudely told me they were out of glasses and I needed to order something in a bottle. Fail. I'm not making the same mistake next weekend.

Oh, here's a black roof for you SpecJ, looks better with tinted windows:

Spec Jay · 06-13-2010, 04:56 PM

interesting... do they have a matte black?

The vinyl shape tool only does gloss colors which is dumb. Also annoying is it won't render a black vinyl over the satnav antenna. Here's a paint booth shot without as much reflections, probably the best it can do since there's no reflections from track scenery and such:

Not a bad decision to postpone the loop drive. That is today's photo of the Paradise parking lot.

Don't forget a force-feedback wheel setup, driving with a tiny joystick is lame

Yeah, used the seat out of my old Triumph TR7, adjusts fully for short runts like me to my 6'3" buddy. I actually learned to left foot brake very well using the wheel/pedal setup, I drive my auto tranny Titan that way and surprised my friend my first time karting, need a third leg for the Z though. I used to race in weekly league events on XBL with Sim Racing HD and a defunct league called Virtual Motorsports Racing League, not so much since December though....

I know next to nothing about the slim...how is it? I'm on my second xbox, it's gone a year and a half with no RROD

, is the new slim supposed to be RROD-free?
