First few things I've noticed: Some glitches here and there, mainly with smoke around the car, you'll see "stepping". As well, the course creator isn't what I thought it was. You don't make your own course, you set some factors and it creates a course based on that. Also, the standard cars look horrible in the garage, but are fine on the track. All in all, its not as finished as I would have liked it to have been considering the time its taken them to produce it. Seems as if they took more time creating gimmicks for it rather than making everything polished. Even so, its still one hell of a game. Driving cars I've driven myself, its exactly what I remember experiencing. Now, I just need to buy a wheel and pedals set.

You're sexy.

Thanks to Amazon...

I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon, which has it available now, without a 4 month wait, and can guarantee it by Saturday. My useless pre-order with Newegg will be canceled.

Indeed. I've ordered almost exclusively from Newegg since my original purchase of my camera and I've never had a problem. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with them. I should have just pre-ordered it through Amazon. I've been looking forward to this game for the last 4 years. It's really the only reason I purchased my PS3. I don't plan on switching to Xbox anytime soon, due to Forza being a disappointment even compared to GT4. There's not really anything that can compare to this series, for that matter.

...And will I be receiving it now its been released? No. Despite pre-ordering it back in the beginning of August, Newegg can do no better than tell me the Collector's Edition I ordered is out of stock. Couldn't tell me when I could expect it or anything of the sort. Disappointing? Majorly, I'm not too please with Newegg's service right at the moment.

Actually, I've had everyone from a guy in a Buick Century to those in SRT4's show interest. It's quite the conversation piece for a range of different boys.

This thing continues to be a hoot. I still haven't reached this car's handling limits, which, is rather surprising with all-season tires. I've also hit a new gas mileage high, reaching 44 mpg in mixed driving. I've yet to do a full highway cycle and I'm quite eager to do so. Also, have I ever mentioned how much attention this car gets? All the boys go crazy for CRX's.

Hit 200k.

Its official. That nose job only helps when you avoid looking at the midsection, a la press photos. In the end, these changes have minimal effect.

Kizashi's are pretty popular when you have a Suzuki dealer nearby, such as Altoona.

Drew, did you get my PM?

This will probably turn into a no-brainer... 2003 Impala LS, loaded, 60k-ish, $6k-ish? My Mom's cousin's in-laws are selling it, so that leaves out hassling with a dealer or some stranger, as well.

Weight loss always wins. This is, perhaps, the only Cruze to really consider.

Sorry to disappoint... I'm currently single.

I found the Loysburg one. Google Street View.

I was down near Altoona recently and I passed 3 or 4 places that had nothing but C3 Vettes. One was in Loysburg, PA. I want to say one was around Shirleysburg, Pa and the other might have been in Kistler, Pa. My memory is pretty vague besides the first one.

The seats in the Cobalt are, indeed, horrible. I was never comfortable in mine.

I will note... one interesting piece of information I discovered regards fuel economy. The GXP nets higher MPG than the standard Solstice while having nearly 100 more horsepower.

Just say no. The tC is a mostly ugly little thing. The rest of the car is okay for the most part, and like you, I enjoy the interior. I just can't stand the exterior.

Of course, there won't be anything nearly the same, but I bet its still possible to achieve the same fuel economy as the CRZ, with all its hybrid technology, without sacrificing its basic safety structure and safety features.Hell, the CRZ's fuel economy isn't that much better than the bigger, more usable Cobalt.

Having this CRX, I happened to stop at a Honda dealer and park next to a CRZ. Utter disappointment and nothing of similar essence to the original that it's very loosely based on. It looks a good size class bigger, interior seems to have lost the simplistic ergonomics and endless utility. As well, for all that expensive hybrid technology... the CRX HF's rating from the EPA? 50 city, 56 highway. The CRZ's rating from the EPA? 35 city, 39 highway. Granted, the EPA has revised its testing procedures during that time, but even so, there's no comparison. The biggest thing to note is that the CRZ has all the creature comforts we ask for these days and livable power while the CRX HF is as bare bones as possible to achieve its fuel economy. Honda really ought to just offer something similar in vein to the original.

Pittsburgh is a great place.

Second tank in... 41.5 mpg while delivering pizza. I'm eager to see what I can manage on an all highway loop.

Yes, we need proper coupes.
