no doubt, i'm actually regretting buying a WG after seeing the LR s but, i don't want all that digital crap in my controls. i'd rather have cables/mechanical controls. really scarey stuff.

i'll probably just do a 110 (or 117 if possible), finish the dual disk ness upgrade, and then start on the garage/427 Cobra
