Is that mod or a standard feature of the game?
I live wacky cars as much as the sophisticated ones :beaten:

The vehicle is actually available in the game...it's part of the original repertoire of cars available during normal game play. Mind you I haven't actually raced in it myself...that was a picture provided by another person, which I thought was quite comical.

Racing cars with 22 Horsepower...hilarious.

Sweet. There must be some specific meaning to that number, as you alluded.

In any case, racing games are really fun. :woot:

Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for a good and inexpensive (<$100) video card for gaming?

Too many choices out there. :sweat:

After reading a bunch of reviews, I settled on a Sapphire Radeon HD4670 video card with 1GB of DDR3 memory...

Your games should fly with 1 gig of on board video memory.

Hehe. Well I'm sure your racing video game experience will be greatly enhanced after you pop that video board in. :woot:
