You look around; suddenly your jaw is down to your knees. You see five cars. Your heart skip a beat.
You loosen your collar and gasp for some air. "Which one?", you scream to yourself.

Driving
You slide in the key. Give it ever so lightly a twist. vroommm! The car roars to life. You nervously put it in gear and slowly let out the clutch. You start out up "The Rock", a long stretch of mountainess road, ideal to put the car through its paces, for the ride of your life.

Driving is not simple task. Potholes, Sunday drivers and water slicks will impede your speed or cause your unfortunate mishaps. Oh, and don't forget about those "Smokies" just waiting for some show-off like you to pass through their "Radar" trap.

Be Cautious, as you have only five chances to reach the "Top of the Rock" . if you have mishap, press the fire button to proceed.

On The Road
In the upper left portion of the winshield, attached to the sun visor, you will see a radar detector. It wokrs and you will need it to avoid that unpleasant feeling of seeing the "red lights" flaching in your rear view mirror. When you approach a "radar trap" , your trusty radar dectector will alert you with "BEEP" and flashing red LEDs. The point that which all the let are lit is when your speed has actually been clocked by the Highway Patrol radar gun.
If your are unfortunate in this respect, you must slow down and obey the Highway Patrolman. If you don't, you might be able to shake him or he will pull in front of you and force you to stop. Be careful, because if you try to pass him, you will rear end him.
Highway Patrolman don't appreciate people damaging their patrol cars much, especially people who drive "fancy cars". Therefore you will go directly to jail. DO NOT PASS GO. Game over, Bud!
