If N4 were an IQ test, a lot of people would be in trouble.

Why is it every time I get into my car somebody slams into the back of me because they're driving down the left side of pit road? Hello? Why do they do that? When exiting your pit stall, you gotta IMEADIATELY crank the steering wheel hard right just in case somebody decides to drop their car in front of you. Sheesh, that's really getting old. -Tony-

I hadn't noticed. I guess I flunked the test. Todd "Tony Jester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Seems to me that at Daytona on the online multiplayer, in practice, alot of people run out of the pits right onto the track. You're up against the WALL, and they just jump out (nowhere NEAR the merge line) all the way out and take you out. I think they do it on purpose. At that point, I usually just back out of the race and go somewhere else... On Thu, 22 Mar 2001 20:48:29 -0800, Tony Jester <[email hidden]> wrote:

I think the lack of patience is a big one... also, you have to give ALOT MORE ROOM when racing online as opposed to offline due to the latency/warp. On Fri, 23 Mar 2001 18:07:41 GMT, [email hidden] (John Hilsman) wrote:
