it's about freaking time

i haven't been playing gt5 very much because i'm completely obsessed with the dc universe online beta. today, i decided that gt needed some love so i set up the wheel and did me some driving. i finally got around to removing all of the unnecessary items from the h.u.d. so that there is nothing on screen except cockpit view and the road ahead (thank you polyphony for finally making this possible). it makes a world of difference. i also switched cockpit view to zoom. it's a small difference, but i prefer it. while i was at it, i decided to knock out the beginner nascar challenge. if you know me, this may not surprise you, but i don't enjoy driving stock cars (not to be confused with a non modified car). the motorhead in me wants to find something i like about nascar, but every time i try to get into it i just come away with more dislike. suffice to say, i wont be buying a stock car anytime soon. i will be picking up an s2000 though. i'm not a power guy, and i'm not concerned with overall lap times either, i just like tuning cars until they're fun to drive and then taking them to tracks and driving around. i do the races for money. the s2 i'm about to buy will be about 260hp, 2,500lbs and will be a blast to drive. i'm going to tune the suspension around sport medium tires and i'm going to try to retain, or improve the balance of the stock car. it's also going to be my test bed for aerodynamic tuning if it is available. i'll make sure to throw up some pictures as well.
