*YOU* have *WAY* too much time on your hands.
So anybody else buy Grand Prix 4 for their *cough*kids*cough*? I of course
had to load it up ahead of time to make sure it worked okay and install any
patches (there is one, as well as lots of other tools and mods online).
Just the F1 symphony alone makes the game worth playing, such a sweet sound
track... :)

Now to go get that red leather wrapped Momo force-feedback steering wheel
from Logitech...for the 'kids' =P.

'Twas the night before Christmas and in the garage,
There wasn't a trace of Chevy or Dodge.
The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,
So I figured I'd mess with the Snake for a bit.
I popped the release and I lifted the hood,
When a deep voice behind me said "looks pretty good."
Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick,
And there, by the workbench, stood good ol Saint Nick!
We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say,
Then he said "don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh?
I said "no way, Santa" and started to grin,
"But if you've got the time we could go for a spin!"
His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
Turned into a smile and he said "hey! Let's go!!"
So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat,
We pushed the Snake quietly into the street,
Then, taking our places to drift down the hill,
I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill.
The sound that erupted took him by surprise,
But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.
With Goodyear's a' crying and side pipes aglow,
We headed on out where the hot rodders go.
And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
With every shift up as I went through the gears.
Then he yelled "can't recall when I've felt so alive!"
So I backed off the gas and said "you wanna drive?"
Ol Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,
When he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!
Then the big block exploded with side exhaust sound!
Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground!
Power shift into second, again into third!
I sat there just watching, at loss for a word,
Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, it's a hell of a night!!!"
