based on my personal experiences of smashing into things and nearly smashing
into things, id recommend using a safe, slow and cheap car. its fun to take
your fancy fast street car, but then you have to pussy foot around all day
and cant get into any great battles with another car.
sear's can be very unforgiving if you make a big boo-boo (especially in the
rain). great track though.
