    adambrown14ADAM14:   Thanks for the comments!  I've been looking at your Chicago CJ too, and i must say,   i am very impressed.

     
    here is the progress i made over the weekend.  I didn't really have much time to work on it because of Grand Prix week.  If no one knows what Grand Prix week at Purdue is, I will try to sum it up in one paragraph:  
     
    Welcome to the greatest college week of all time... where a campus of 40,000 students celebrate a seemingly ordinary go kart race by engaging in a week of mind blowing, wasted beyond your wildest dreams, non stop parties ...where class shuts down & drunken students stumble from bar to bar, frat to frat, street to street, drinking everything in sight & no amount of alcohol poisoning can stop them ... where it 's more than acceptable to start drinking the moment you awake, & slipNslides, mud wrestling, beer pong, live bands, & power hours are a daily occurence...welcome to the greatest college week in America as rated by Sports Illustrated, PlayBoy & The Princeton Review.
     
    sorry about the rambling,  here is the pic:

    Hey Krillin. Nice start on your recreation. Might I add that Google now has satellite on their maps, and 1 meter high res for metropolitan areas. Indianapolis has sweet high-res, and I zoomed in on the Speedway, where you can make out cars.

     
    Keep up the good work.

    I used an Indianapolis street map for the water on that region, and I remember the street map pretty well... I must say that this looks exactly like that map! (Other than the fact that SC4 can't make diagonal bridges.... stupid EA 2.gif)

    Anywho, keep up the GREAT work!

    I just moved to Indy from SE Missouri. So far, love the city, doing a region based on the Indy map. I live on the northside, (Meridian and 465), so if you need any input for stuff up here, let me know.
