new car - look at this steering wheel
on: January 11, 2010, 12:20:19 pm
So i bought a 2005 Mitsubishi Galant to get me around, because i needed an economy car (well, something with 4 cylinders...)

This steering wheel puzzled me since i first saw it, and i just realized it reminds me of a Freespace ship.  Since it's been so long since i've played FS1, and rarely ever played FS2, i had to wiki it, but what do you think:

I thought Serapis at first but I guess Myrmidon is a bit closer.  That is awesome.

Yeah, I asked you to send me an instant message, or a private message, or an email, or a phone call, or SOMETHING to let me know when you were available. And you never did. :(

I'd say it's more a Serapis myself as the wheel's shape is more like -|-|-

Rather than \|-|/

It's a steering wheel. :p
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!
