Welcome! Very nice, love the red/white combo!
That's a warm welcome from jmillet as well--I'm in agreement 100% about modding the driver--been doing that myself and it's amazing how much better the car performs with the driver mods I've added.
You can always ask one of the mods to change your user name to one that no one else has claimed (check the member's list to see if the one you want is taken). Beta, who used to be Fighting Fish, did just that in the past couple months.
