No one puts those on the wall. It should be a poster or a calendar. ;)\n\nMy thoughts:\n* awesome music. Reminds me of some South Park episode... The one with cheap jewelery I believe.\n* while racing if you get 2 coins in the same row, one on the left and one on the right I don't think it's possible to pick up both.\n* costs are too high. I got 28$ for a race and I have to wait a lot for car to refuel. Too much waiting\n\nOther than that it's a great entry, especially if you started on sunday. Love that happy car with square wheels.
