Ha ha... I learned years ago:

Rule #1: Never buy a game on a work night ("OH CRAP! It's 3am - I have a meeting in 4 hours!")

Hey, that Cobra "photo" is from the Super-Pretty-Photo-Mode. I'll have to post a screen shot from the actual game that accurately shows what it really looks like during a race. I don't want to misrepresent the video quality.
