So You Think You Can... Design Cars?

Gotcha. You thought I was going to post about the new season of "So You Think You Can Dance", but I'm not going to. Instead I'm going to let you in on a very cool contest going on involving one of my most anticipated games for Xbox 360. Test Drive: Unlimited is a massively-multiplayer racing game that pits up to 8,000 people per server on an accurately mapped version of Oahu. There, racers can buy houses, collect cars and motorcycles, and race all day and night in any of the game's career races, or by simply rolling up behind someone and flashing your high beams at them. It's going to be awesome.

And those with some artistic skill can be a part of it. They're having a contest in which people can enter their own car design to be included in the game. So, if you can work magic on a 3D-modeling program, or even just are highly-skilled with Photoshop, this is the contest for you. Not only will the winner have their car in the game, but they'll get $2,500 too (and possibly a job offer, if you're good enough).

Here's a sample from the Test Drive Unlimited website:
