Seriously some cadilac? well the way some people drive like old ladies on
there, hehehehe just might be the perfect fit, I dunno.

I hear your pain, Graphics wise, but I dont think it bothers me as much, as
long as I get the sensation of movement around the track. I raced
motocross, not big time just amature stuff... but anything but that little
tunnel in front of me, is a blur, so I say why even waste CPU cycles to draw
it <lol>. but yeah, I have seen screenies from some peoples PC's the gfx
look a lot better than I can produce with my old equipment, without
stuttering. Hell, a couple years back when I was moving, I found the
rendition2 card in that box as well, I dont recall if I finally tossed it or
not. I dont imagine it would do anyone anygood either though, lol. But I
have fantasy about setting up an old win98 box with that card just for SODA,
lol. probably a crapload of work to be dissapointed in the end though, best
to just keep the memories.
