The Ultimate Driving Simulator? [video]

I've been doing a ton of research trying to find inspiration and ideas for a driving simulator we're building for recreational use around here.  A buddy of mine ran across this and sent it over and we sat here drooling.  Unfortunately we don't have an excess of $10,000 lying around, so it'll be a while until we get to this level.  Make sure to check out the video of it all in action after the jump.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2010

Hybrids galore... will the trend carry over to the States?

Tokyo Auto Salon 2010

We are here in Tokyo Japan for the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon and have posted up our coverage over on our brother site, www.tunerzine.com.  Interestingly enough it was difficult to walk through the halls and not see a Prius or an Insight to the left or right of you... or in front or behind you.  Hybrids were everywhere in all shapes and forms and best of all... tuning styles.  We're excited to see whether or not this customizing trend will carry over to the Stateside with so many manufacturers embracing the green world.  Make sure to check out all of our coverage and here are some of our favorites after the jump.
