@jeffgerstmann.com NFS Underground 2: wtf stop driving my car and pick a spoiler for your chevy camaro

1984 Mustang: *WHEEZE COUGH CATCH FIRE* 280ZX: *vague whirring* 318i: *sewing machine noises* aaaAAND WE'RE OFF! M: *eats nearest telephone pole* 2: *reaches 10mph* 3: *is apparently the hi-powered treadle version* 1990 was a bad time for driving games.

And we're off! To a catastrophically censored version of "Caution" by The Killers!
