Ever heard of GWX, and all the third-parties that were created to block it?

...Doesn't allthis flickering mean that the drivers are doing bad things to my h/w too?
And doesn't that mean that Microsoft would have some responsibility in the shortened life of my h/w?
Microsoft may be pushing the driver on their own site, but they didn't write it--it's still (in your case) Intel's.

Good point.
Well, then, Intel owes me!!!
I just know that some big corp owes me millions of $$$. 
Pain and flickering and all that.

That lambo was slow off the starting line. I believe the driver must've been asleep.

or the driver belittle's the truck because he thinks it's a waste of time and money to compete with a lambo.

"Anybody has got half a million dollars you could probably buy that lambo and if anybody has got 28 dollars you can buy that farm truck"
What the hell was that lambo driver doing though?

Something tells me the truck owner spent more than $28 on it.

Like $28 for each lug-nut on those drag tiers.

Pft a custom built drag racer vs a street car competing in a drag race probably with a professional driver in the truck and the owner in the lambo (who seems to have been asleep), and you are surprised at the result!

Whenever you have enough power available it's all in the tyres. I can bet the Lambo had street tyres.

If that's the kind of staged bollocks that goes on at these shows, I don't think I'll bother going.

Yeah, everything is staged, including running from the cops, their late-night tests where they tow their car to a remote location so they can test the car without being hassled by the cops, and drama at their "street" events.
Their cars are NOT street cars, and the "street" is prepped for maximum traction. Real street racing usually happens at a 40-mph roll on the freeway, and only involves street cars.
I'm a car guy, and I hate that show. In fact, any show that falls under the "reality" genre is crap.

Agreed. For something with a touch more credibility, 1000hp 4 Door Lexus on the STREET[^]
will take one to an interesting video.
Not bad for a 3L methinks. (It's 1000hp at the wheels with nitrous - owner reckons 950 ish without)

I must admit, when I read the thread title, since it contained the word "farm", and I saw the word "Lambo" I pictured a farm animal with a red bandana and muscular arms sporting an M-16.

Speaking as one who has actually "walked onto" a rake (appropriately, I was 13 at the time), I can say that it's not an experience one would undergo voluntarily. It hits unbelievably hard, and makes a Hell of a lump.
The guy put so much energy into it that he's lucky he didn't kill himself.
