Art Map

Something from Daytona USA 2, yeah, isn't that awesome.

If you hate it, vote fairly, but not because of your utter hatred for Nascar, so please be
reasonable, blue-state folks.

Made it just for fun because I have the right to do so in the United States of America.

WOW Six 10's in a row. I promise I didn't vote for this map at all. Thanks for all the votes,
guys.

Note: The OS infantry is supposed to be the driver, humorous I know.

legit
Advance Wars maps. Just let us be and vote a 2 at least.

it looks mad =(

The American Ford Fusion (code name CD338) is a mid-size car based on the Ford CD3
platform. The Fusion went on sale in October 2005 as a 2006 model, and is a replacement
for the largely discontinued Ford Taurus. It is manufactured at Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico
plant (Job 1 date of August 1, 2005). Companion versions entitled the Mercury Milan (code
name CD334) and the Lincoln Zephyr (code name CD378) were launched simultaneously. At the
2005 Detroit Auto Show, a hybrid version was announced for the 2008 model year. Ford's
Fusion advertising campaign is entitled Life in Drive.

The Fusion was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2006.

The car fits in a line of sedans by Ford (smallest to largest):

* Ford Focus
* Ford Fusion
* Ford Taurus (the Taurus will remain in production until August 2006)
* Ford Five Hundred
* Ford Crown Victoria

The Fusion was originally to be called the Ford Futura, but Ford lost a trademark lawsuit
to the Pep Boys auto parts store, which has a line of tires under the Futura brand.
American trademark law generally considers a name abandoned if the owner does not use it
for three calendar years, and the long history of the name in the Ford line did not
impress the court. Ironically, the Futura name is actually still used by Ford Australia,
as a trim line for the Falcon. Another choice of name was "Falcon", but that would have
caused much confusion with the long-running Australian Ford Falcon. Still that didn't
prevent Ford from duplicating the name of the European Fusion, a mini-MPV based on the
Ford Fiesta, slotted between the Fiesta and the Focus.

With its launch, the Fusion debuted Ford's new three-bar grille design, which is expected
to become the company's trademark look for the rest of the decade. Production volume is
projected at 160,000-200,000 per year.

Fusion's competitors are the Chevrolet Malibu (and possibly the larger Impala), Toyota
Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Galant and Pontiac G6.

Changes to the CD3 platform from the Mazda6 include stretching it by 30 mm (1.2 in) in
width and 55 mm (2.2 in) in length, strengthening it, and modifying the suspension for a
more compliant ride. Like the Mazda, the Fusion uses the Mazda-designed 2.3 L Duratec 23
I4 and Ford-designed 3.0 L Duratec 30 V6. All wheel drive and the new Duratec 35 will be
options for 2007.

The Fusion is reminiscent of the Mitsubishi Galant and Pontiac G6. The Fusion shares some
interior parts such as part of the console and seats with the otherwise unrelated European
Mondeo. Both automatic and manual transmissions are available (the latter only with the I4
engine).

The Fusion also became the new body shape for Ford automobiles in NASCAR beginning in
2006, replacing the Ford Taurus. This is the first time that Ford has introduced a new
model that went racing in NASCAR at the same time as its launch since the Ford Torino in
1968. It debuted at the 2006 Daytona 500, and won its first race a week later in California.

According to Ford, consumer response to the Fusion has exceeded their expectations [1].

Also, AutoWeek magazine made a (tongue-in-cheek?) comment that Ford named the new sedan
the Fusion only because its grille has a striking resemblance to the Gillette Fusion Razor
shaver. While others have noticed the inspiration that Ford seemed to have found in the
rear styling of the fourth generation Honda Prelude, combined with the front styling of
the fifth generation Prelude. Regardless, the three-bar grille, which includes two
matching bars below the bumper/fascia and is thus a five-bar design, was first seen on a
concept car called the Ford 427, unveiled in 2003 at the North American International Auto
Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
[edit]

The car is supposed to be a 1998 Ford Thunderbird, Stock Car Version (duh)

http://www.jayski.com/schemes/98/47philips.jpg

The car is supposed to be mad. The "product," the phantom, is actually some ghastly
flame/face on the hood (I had trouble making it so I came up with this, which is close
enough). Not sure what product it is, the game doesn't drop enough hints, but
I'm pretty sure it's not a candy bar or some tissue paper.

Either way, the "anger" motif is there since the car is the most powerful car in the game, of
course.

This is the most amazing picture/spritemap I have ever seen. 10!!
Oliver (08/01/2006 04:10pm):
I loved sprite maps. I wont be a jerk therefore, (10/10)
MooglePirate (08/01/2006 05:48pm | Edited: 08/01/2006 05:58pm):
This is a place for playing... not showing off you have hours to spend on a crappy car image

I voted 1 on a few accounts to cancle out all the blind car fanboys who don't care about a
game
daytonausafan (08/01/2006 05:59pm | Edited: 08/01/2006 06:00pm):
Awwww, I'm sawwwwrrryyyy. Here, have a tissue.

In case you haven't noticed, a lot of people really don't give a damn about race cars, but they
thought it looked good, so they gave it good ratings.

Thanks Oliver. I didn't need both these games made of my map. It's not very playable, now I
might get more votes, but they may be bad votes. But thanks for voting well, and I'm glad
you appreciate the map.
Katana25 (08/01/2006 07:04pm):
I love the map, but maybe you should add more Infantry in the car, to make it look like a real
person is driving the car. Even so, nice map! 10/10
daytonausafan (08/01/2006 07:31pm | Edited: 08/01/2006 07:35pm):
MooglePirate has sent me AIM messages while I was AFK (out to eat dinner). For shame he
would call me a dirty redneck.

If he insists on voting multiple 1's on this map using alternate accounts, then I believe he is
just discriminating against Nascar. Why does he insist on doing so if other people who
voted earlier can just vote well and not hate on me, even though I'm sure no one on this
board is a big race car fan.

How many people here play racing games regularly besides the occasional "freak" racing
game such as Burnout 3?

No one here is a racing fan. They just think it's good art. You aren't cool insulting me. Get
over it.

BTW, I'm sorry if Oliver has decided to clutter the Waiting list with this map. I understand
he's not trying to get me all this (negative) attention, but it's not necessarily my fault that
those games are there.
Nahbien (08/01/2006 08:00pm):
Just a suggestion daytona, unpublish the map and people cannot spam the map in the waiting
list :)
daytonausafan (08/01/2006 08:58pm | Edited: 08/01/2006 08:58pm):
I'll take my chances....people should be able to see it... :p
Shadow Star (08/02/2006 10:27pm):
well, except for Mooglepirate.
(who i think shouldn't say anything considering his maps quality.....)
i'll give you the 10 for your sprite.
Tempest79797 (08/14/2006 06:31pm):

I P Freely (09/10/2006 10:50pm):
