   Well Dave, speaking for myself, I don't (as I recall) break into a
thread where constructive criticism/discussion is happening. Maybe when
it first came out I may have a little but more just to let people know
than to ridicule anyone. It's just such a joke to me that it's hard not
to have a laugh about it and if someone posts a comment that purely
praises CPR then what would you expect. It's an irresistable flame! I
also hate to see people whine about those of us that show CPR in it's
true light since the people who hammer CPR are dead right and the more
we can hurt the rep/sales of this game the better for us all. Never
forget that the rudest player in this game is MICROSOFT! Call us
different but the selling of alpha's goes over like a lead balloon. Not
to mention patches that are arguably worse.

   LOL. It seems to me that the thousands David is talking about are so
CART fanatical that they'd say any CART sim was great. But I don't
understand this at all. Lucky for you all, I'm not an American and thus
not quite as big a CART fan as I otherwise would be. Otherwise, believe
me, I'd be a whole lot worse than you think I am now! On the other hand,
online racing at the Zone would be a lot more useful so I may be a
little calmer - just a little :)

The thing is I love cart, so much that I bought it the first day it was out here
in Texas.  I can't stand it.  Too bad I didn't wait until now and only spend $15.

What u said Byron!!!!! You echo the sentiments of many. As for this clown
trying to defend MS....well, give it up buddy. I happen to be someone who
likes MS, they have a lot of great products, but CPR aint one of them...

&BTW , Freud was a ***ed idiot, who couldn't get his mind off his
mother's crotch.

   Yeah, but return CPR anyway and put the extra bucks toward that new
'puter :)

Patches that are arguably worse,  hehehehe  Whats that game you are playing
that is on its 7th patch and people are still complaining!

Ohhhh, I shouldnt say this stuff right now, Atleast untill I have tried the
Demo for 2 min, and become an Expert reviewer like you Byron. But I did try
to run the demo, and the damn thing didnt run :)

1. Demo requires a 3Dfx card.
2. 7th patch is almost perfect. I have never seen a _game_ like this ULTRA
realism.
3. CPR SUX
