Abandoned airfields
Check it out, a list of abandoned airfields all over the states. Heh, they could be a fun place to beat the tar out of your car. Could be fun!

I already saw that link time ago.. a superb idea.. to bad Switzerland is so small and we don't have something like that! Every time I want to play a little, I have to search for hours for a good place...

That is cool. We go out to the one near me all the time and have a blast. Last time I was out there a 360 Spyder showed up and flew by us at what he said was 180mph. I have vids of several times out there but have no where to put them.

If it's less than 25MB, I can host them for a little bit.
Looking through the airports in Minnesota, one of them is only a few minutes drive from me. I think I might actually know where it is. I know where one is that isn't on the list, but the runways are dirt. We take my friends truck back there all the time. There is no way in hell you could get a car back there.

the best place to do that would be northern territory.
also they don't have points system on their license...so everytime i got flashed for speeding or redlight i send the infringement to my sister. its changed under her name so i don't lose points but i pay the fine
