It moves too much, real race-cars don't move that much.

Oh yeah?

Have you driven a rally car?

They use the exagerated movements to give the impression of g forces - standard simulator fare.

Fathers Day is coming up, I wonder how I can talk my kids into getting me this?

Not an option, I have too much invested in these.

It'd be cheaper for me just to buy it for myself.

I just got the data on the unit. Try $33,000 and only runs Windoze software, no XBox or Playstation or anything.

I talked with a man who had a 10 person simulator running in the mall and he said his unit only cost $50k.

I can send a pdf spec sheet to anyone who wants one.

Oh, and it would still be better to keep my present kids. $33,000 wouldn't even pay for one year of a new kid and now they've all sorta left home so it wouldn't be a good trade.

For $33K I could rally something real, like a Mazda 323 GTX, for years!
