yamauchikazunori in romanji. Awesome. I'll have to try this out.

GT2 had limited collision damage

If you want real collision damage, I suggest Auto Crossing for the real thing.

Blame Car Makers

[MBCook]

You have to blame the car makers for this one. They won't license the car models if the cars can take damage in game. That means that to have in-game damage, you'd have to have a bunch of cars that sorta look like real cars but aren't and are distunguisable from the real things (so that they don't get sued). It's not PD's fault.

Yamauchi Kazunori is the poster's name. My vocab is nonexistent but I know "Yama" means mountain. And Yamauchi is the family name, Kazunori the personal name. I assume his friends shorten it to Kazu-kun (or san, or whatever honorific applies.

And in incompatible browsers, it'll just show the individual parts of the Unicode character (usually some accented vowels and stuff like that.) IE's pretty good about it.
