e: also, this is definitely the furthest I have gone on two wheels without tipping the car over. I had it balanced like that until I hit the kerb on the next corner which righted my car and let me carry on.

I did almost exactly the same thing when I first got F3

Lovin' the new Bel Air.

It lets you add a spare tire as an upgrade. This is awesome.

Edit: When in stock configuration, it accelerates like molasses, handles like a brick, and takes up half of the road. I already love it.

Jesus loving christ. Between this and the front bumper bar for the new Charger, I really like the direction Turn 10 is taking with visual upgrades. I hope they go further in the next game and let us change trim levels for cars that it'd make an obvious difference in.

Also, I am going to drive the hell out of this car. I was starting to like my Coronet as an A-Class boat, but I think this'll replace it (if it's somewhat competitive in A, anyway).

Hmm. Funny you say that, as I have the slim 4 gb (only picked it up for this) with a 500gb portable HDD plugged into it. Might very well be the problem...

I broke open my old 20gb drive, took it out and placed it in the 4gb slim. I can now view/save replays (THANK YOU SO MUCH PUDDING!) ~~but I'm still not able to see rival ghosts in rivals mode. I only tested out the Reasonable priced car Top Gear rival race, but nothing... any ideas?~~ Never mind, I can see them and its awesome now. I feel like I have the full game at last. Thanks for the advise pudding!

Well I went back to the Dashboard Marketplace and downloaded the free car, then went into FM4 and now the pack is there. I don't know if it was neccessary to download the Scirocco, but either way I have my Aventador now!

U.S. goon with season pass, I also had to do the same thing. Pack Would not show up in Forza marketplace until I downloaded the Scirocco from xbox marketplace.

Just an FYI for anyone else with season pass having trouble. If the new pack doesn't show up for you in the in-game marketplace, go to the xbox marketplace and download the scirocco, which is free. Then the whole pack will show up in the forza marketplace.

I found this piece of junk for a reasonable price on the auction house. Probably sat in someones backyard for the past couple decades:

Put on some custom paint, add a set of 19"s on that bitch, and it's as good as new.

Also, the Belair accelerates like tub of molasses because they put in the two speed powerglide transmission instead of the three speed manual.

There are general rust decals floating around out there. Some look good, and some dont.

Minimaul: Mar 8, 2003

If you already bought the Season Pass it is supposed to show up in the in-game marketplace, but it's not. To work around this, go to the xbox place (or in-game?) and download the free car, which downloads all the other cars. Once this is done, the Season Pass selection for the DLC pack shows up in the in-game marketplace and you can download it without paying for it (again).

Each car pack comes with a "free" car that you can download and it will have the other cars in it. You won't be able to use them (except your free car) but you will be able to see them and other people that have them when you race online. That way nobody shows up as a Ghost Jetta (like fm2).

If you want to buy the DLC pack, buy the pack, if you have the season pass, read above. if you want individual cars then buy individual cars. if you want none, but to see them get the VW. if you want none and give no fucks download nothing.

Man I wanna get this pack, but I have an old rear end Xbox that only has 16 gigs of HDD space, and with this game installed (both disks) I'm already down to 2 gigs free.

Is it still possible to custom install your own hard drive, or am I stuck with Microsoft's overpriced nonsense? My Xbox is a white one with HDMI if that makes a difference.

Season pass users- You don't have to download anything after the first free car. Once you get any free car in the pack, the game realizes it's missing content, and unlocks everything automatically.

The spare tire option on the Bel Air is magnificent.

The Sirrocco has all the files needed, you won't need to download any more files.

Also Gara, your car is running on both Goodyear and Falken rubber, wrapped around a pair of Enkei and Rota wheels? :p

Humerus: Jul 7, 2009; Rule of acquisition #111:

The way it worked for me was I selected one car (the Bel Air) and it downloaded them all. Or rather unlocked them all, since all their data is there from downloading the VW.
In other news, my phone auto corrected Bel to Bro, and now I've got this hilarious image of a bro cruising around in an old Chevy blaring Jack Johnson or something.

You can take a USB drive, up to 16 gb, and use it as a hard drive or memory card. This is something Microsoft enabled about a year ago. You can actually have two in the two front USB slots actually, and use both, for 32 gb of storage.

16gb is the largest size USB drive they let you use, but you may as well go for the full 16 in your USBs since the cost is proportional and formatting the USB for 360 use takes up like 1.2 gb for 'stuff'. You can go on Amazon or Newegg and look at reviews of 16gb drives, look for comments like "I plugged this into my Xbox 360 and it worked fine." Alternately, I bought this one and can confirm it works (not a referral link)
http://www.amazon.com/Patriot-Xporter-Speed-Flash-PEF16GRUSB/dp/B003WUX6QK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320183425&sr=8-2

It's $25 and has nice write speed, so I went for that one. Stuff loads way faster off that drive than it does the hard drive, so I did my Forza 4 install on the USB drive as well. And yes, you can keep your save on the HDD and have the install on the USB, which frees up space on your HDD to boot.
