Well, April 1 is a Saturday, so one part of that information is wrong, thought I'd say that so people don't get confused

And, Sat April 1 is an SAT test day, so I'd be out, that and I don't have a 360 :-p

of course not, one guy gets the front half (engine and 2 seats) and other gets the back (2 seats and a trunk).

Someone said that the 2 finalist have tp play for the car, that would indeed suck.

Killcam on? HahahhahahahahhahahahhahaI haven't played too much of this game, but I'm a huge fan of the kill cam in CoD and CoD2. It keeps the snipers moving, as they should be doing anyway. It also lets you verify that people actually had a shot on you and aren't cheating.
