    I just wish they had used a better paint scheme on the cab cars. I mean seriously, a blue cab with no kind of transition and doesn't even attach to the blue window stripe. And the way the yellow stripe attaches to the cab's blue is not very good either. People completely unaffiliated with...

    I hope someone covers it in video form cause one thing that annoys my is when something like this happens and no one covers it or provide any proper videos of these things.

    They really should have gone with the original concept art paint scheme for the California Ventures. Why didn't they use that paint scheme in the first place?
