Mojo, thanks for the clarification...wow weird how long you think you've been reading (and saying the word in your mind for so long...and you are wrong). :-)

: : Buy a Dreamcast (now only $49 new or $39 used) at any Electronics Boutique or Software Etc or Funcoland. Buy SF Rush. Install in a sit down driving cab. Buy a Dreamcast racing wheel to interface the controls.

: : Viola!

: I agree with your approach. However, since this undoubtedly gets the goat of all francophones around the world (including Louisiana and New England), I would like to clarify this little off-topic bit:

: VIOLA - pronounced "vee-OH-la." A stringed instrument very similar to the violin, but larger and playing withing a lower range (a fifth down).

: VOILĄ - pronounced "vwa-LAH." A French expression meaning "there it is."

:
: I believe you wanted the latter. :-)
