Told ya you should choose Blur over some cheap Canadian made piece of crap lol. Yeah I'm Canadian to but i hate everything Canada makes from movies to games and anything electronic, only thing good we make here is Marijuana, Lumber, and Beer.

Oh, and don't forget about the music (Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Nickelback, to name the popular ones).
Good ol' reliable Neo, taking the piss out of games before I would think of buying them. The bugs you just mentioned are definitely gamebreakers as far as I'm concerned with racing games.
Thinking that I was being nudged by another car I looked to the right... BUT NO CAR!. The physics are bullshit to the state where other cars can ram me off the road but if I try to do it to them it is like hitting concrete.
Now that's funny.
