Since both of my hands are working now, I've figured out a good way to give them both some exercise. And lemme tell ya, it hurts. My left hand, I finally got the use of my left hand back after about a year. I can even pretend to play guitar with it.
I've got an X-Box.....dinosaur hardware. Need for Speed "SHIFT." At least a 9 year old game loaded into it. The controller is actually the thing. I can actually work it!
But that game, I'm driving a Zonda Z-something. It's not an imaginary car. I looked it up years ago. I made it so far into that game that I earned perhaps the fastest car they had. Made out of carbon fiber, with enough horsepower to take your breath away. And it does, take your breath away. It'll hit 10K RPM as soon as you touch the throttle. You'd better shift quick.
But it has no brakes. From the standing start line, pass about a dozen of them, Turn 1, slow down.....That thing has no brakes. Ginzillions of horsepower, but that thing won't even slow down, even standing on the brakes and downshifting it. Plow through the gravel pit and into the grandstands......that's just not realistic. A car that will go that fast HAS to have some brakes and that one doesn't.
I'm finally able to complete a few laps without wrecking after about 5 tries, but that car has no brakes. It has "some," But I wouldn't drive it. Not on a road course.
