Well it turns out My Wife fondly remembers having played the game with me in the past and having fun, and she asked if I could make her her own personal kart, so she could try what "real" racing was like, and....well, I wasn't really sure if I could but she really really wanted one and I just couldn't say no, and I actually managed to do it.
She agreed to only drive on the road, but even still she's having fun and really, really happy about it. It just makes me glad!

..........do you think if I asked trtr, they'd actually put in a race track or two? I'm not sure if I could make one myself. I could try, though....
