For actual DLC I think they might wait until Amiibo releases to bring out the DLC. Not that Amiibo will feature DLC on it, but they're going to have to update the game to support Amiibo as well as DLC so they'll probably do two in one.
That is a good point. I did not consider that. I thought the Mercedes car was Japan only?

That's pretty groovy! Still using the Pipe Frame though.

I saw that! You are using what I used for some time until I got hooked on the Cyber Slick tires!

Cyber cuts down on acceleration so much, I thought you were all for that!?

I am, but I really like the way I drift with them. The acceleration is still pretty good though.

Interesting, I did a time trials with both wheels and the time ended up the same, but the roller wheels could drift tighter. Depends how you like to drift I suppose, I'm sure the extra little boost of speed helps here and there as well.

I tend to like drifting on the lang sweeping turns really tight to the inside. Electrodrome and Music Park are great examples of this. There is also the inside turn on Toad Harbor by the part where you can drive on the walls.

Well at least the end is in sight....
2-4 years will be when the new MK comes out anyway. Probably on the Successor of the 3DS
