Painfully unrealistic.

Wed, 8 Dec 1999 22:42:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - It's hard to believe that this game is by the same company that brought us the awesome Need For Speed series.

While this game does feature a number of cars by high-profile automobile tuners the execution of the graphics leaves this game eating...

Archived Autos & Motorsports Reviews: Leave it on the shelf.

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - You might have seen the infommercials recently pushing a brightly colored tube of a cream-like substance called GS27. GS27 Complete Scratch Repair Kit and GS27-DS Deep Scratch Filler claims to be the number one scratch remover. On the commercial, the...

Not My Kind Of Town

Fri, 12 Nov 1999 11:17:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - I've lived in lot of places in this state of ours. Elroy, Kendall, Lake Geneva, Elkhorn, Milwaukee, Little Prarie, Williams Bay, etc... and about two years ago I moved to Madison. It sounded OK, with all the good reviews and such.

Well, this...

Ok, so I wrote it.

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 15:21:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - Right up from, I'm a little biased on this one since I am the person who wrote it.

The Beginning: Way back in 1997 I had the notion to publish a book covering the automobile online. This book had the tentative title "Route 66 Meets the...

AutoWeek - Covers the Industry

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 00:42:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - It's funny that Epinions has chosen to feature the cover with the truck. That single issue caused a lot of fall-out with readers because it's supposed to be AUTOweek and not TRUCKweek. Well nuts to them... I like trucks and cars and I'm happy that...

The car that should have been.

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 00:08:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - Ahh... the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Preston Tucker was a man with a vision. A vision of a safer, faster, better built car. Unfortunately, the Big Three (Ford, GM, Chrysler) didn't see it that way. The improvements Tucker was suggesting would have cost the...

Generically ERTL

Wed, 10 Nov 1999 16:04:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - Silver and red over a purple body doesn't really lend itself to this car. ERTL's cars have never been know for their detail, although the significant advantage that they do have is a pretty good grip on the domestic automobile market with their American...

240 Digital Camera: A good all-round digital camera.

Thu, 4 Nov 1999 16:21:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - Simplicity is what this little gadget is all about. I picked up the DC-240 ZOOM a couple of week ago for $499 on sale from CompUSA.

Some of the things that attracted me to the camera was the pixel quality, iMac friendly, the solid feel and...

Nice People & A Good Car

Wed, 3 Nov 1999 00:17:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - On a recent trip to San Jose, California, I originally had reservations with Avis. Upon getting to San Jose I find that because I'm five months shy of being 25 they will not give me a car. So much for ever considering Avis again. I found the service to...

1975 Cadillac Chateau Coupe DeVille

Sat, 9 Oct 1999 23:55:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - I have some doubts as to anybody actually being in the market for a 1975 Cadillac Chateau Coupe DeVille but once-upon-a-time I had one so I'm going to write this one just for fun. Who knows? Maybe there is somebody out there looking for one of these...

Sat, 9 Oct 1999 23:11:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - The High Frequency wireless controllers for the Sony Playstation is a two controller set available just about anywhere.

While the controllers do allow you to play the games without wires there are some drawbacks to the system. The controllers...

1995 Dodge Dakota Sport w/ 3.9 V6

Wed, 6 Oct 1999 01:13:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - Ok, I'm going to say this right up front. This is the BEST vehicle I have ever owned. I'm going to give this truck five stars and if you look at my profile you'll see I never give anything a full five stars. This is how impressed I am with the...

Evil Muppets - You Gotta' Love It!

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 21:20:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - In my list of top ten movies of all time sits Labyrinth. Directed by Jim Henson and with David Bowie as Jareth and a young Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, the movie is simply a delight to watch.

It goes something like this: Sarah is forced by her...

Spyro: Fun, Light Hearted & Fairly Easy

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 20:00:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - We originally purchased Spyro because it looked like a cute game. My girlfriend wanted it so we picked it up. I wasn't too interested and didn't pay too much attention to at first but then I started playing it.

It's a very fun game. The...

1997 Ford F-150 XL

Fri, 1 Oct 1999 10:25:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - I, like some other Epinion writers, owned a Dodge Dakota before picking up a used 1997 Ford F-150. So far I have been satisfied with the trucks performance.

It's a 1997 Ford F-150 XL with the 4.6 V6, Automatic, A/C, Tape Deck, Split Bench...

Not Bad - Not Great

Thu, 30 Sep 1999 23:31:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - The 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva is available in several trims. The one that I have experience with is the Acheiva SC with the 2.4 engine (4 cyl.).

The Achieva was never a huge sales success, with most sales going to rental agencies and other fleet...

Worth A Look

Thu, 30 Sep 1999 22:33:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - I have been with Geico for a bit over a year now and have been mostly satisfied with the results.

Good Power, Some Bugs

Thu, 30 Sep 1999 21:10:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SportFury - The iMac, being the consumer PC that is it, has it's share of both good and rather annoying features.

If you're a home user, like a vast majority of iMac owners, the iMac will probably be more machine that you'll need. At 333 Mhz and 32 MB...
