I think their aiming for slow changes (such as stopping the night cruise through the city like i said), because eventually, having a larger scale of audience interest ie: families to go, it will bring more revenue. but hey, who doesnt enjoy getting smashed an doing burnouts lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
