TNL writes: "It's a lovely evening for racing, with the horizon a vivid orange as a dark blue overtakes the clear Los Angeles sky. I'm driving flat-out amidst dense traffic in a highway race, holding a slight lead against an opponent who'll leave me miles behind at the slightest mistake. Highway races tend to be short though, so I've got a good chance of keeping my lead just long enough to earn first place, including the reputation and cash that go with it. Twenty seconds later, I've turned the console off in disgust once more, not because I suck (although that multi-car pileup I caused probably would have helped avoid an embarrassing loss), but because the idiot police saw the race and decided that the appropriate punishment was to suck all the fun out of Midnight Club: Los Angeles."
