SubjectDirt Devils' second picture question. new Reply to this message

No, I'm not interested in the current status of the emulation, or the games themselves, since I hate racing games that use real steering wheels and stuff. I can't drive! *sobs*

However, the text on it struck me as odd. "Viva California Peninsula". Is that supposed to be some sort of pun towards the Baja California peninsula located in Mexico [which, coincidentally, is where I live... well, the northern part], or is it just made up?

Just asking. I don't think this broke the rules or anything, since I've never seen the game for real and I'm curious. Thanks.

Baja is the home of this type of racing, hence the nickname "Baja Bug", I'm surprised you didnt know...

I did know, but there was no mention of Baja in the pictures at all. Also, the map in the back doesn't even resemble Baja California at all. Which is why I was curious.

Fair enough, if you look at the pictures I have on the model 3 hardware page it gives you a better idea,
