I pushed my team too hard to post times on all tracks. We built up a good team and unfortunately, after he had to leave, my teenage brain decided to become a super egotistical maniac. I believe we were Motor City Outlaws or MCW. I remember building up a club with someone else, can't remember their name after all these years. After this, EA became a monopoly buying up multiple studios and destroying franchises like Ultima, NFS, and Battlefield. RIP Motor City Online, August 29th, 2003. Now we have games with superficial and arcade physics with cartoonish graphics and overused nitrous.

It was ahead of its time and unfortunately at the $9.99 a month subscription that my parents paid for me, not a lot of people caught the appeal or were willing to pay. If there's any video game out there that I will remember playing for the rest of my life this was it. Multiplayer racing on dial-up or low-speed connections before Cable and Fiber. Holiday cars with a custom shamrock or American flag paints and rims. Custom cars ranging from paint jobs to convertible, chopped, fenderless versions. Auctions 24/7 and I would stay up until 4 in the morning before school just to grab a custom car. At 12-14, I learned more about cars than ever imaginable. Between rims, tires, suspension, drivetrain, and building an entire engine. Customizable parts in probably the 10s of thousands. Racing on everything from dirt tracks to urban American cities across the nation. Later they put in 2000's Eclipse and Supra cars for appeal with Fast and Furious fans.

The absolute best car racing game I played and probably will ever play. I don't think anyone but us will understand.
