As we all patiently wait for Microsoft to roll out the second of their top-of-the-line driving series for the Xbox 360, the Forza Motorsport 2 team tuned up and put King Kong in the trunk on the game's main Web site. But, they also released a bit of new news about the game. Take a look at some just-announced features dealing with the auction house:

• Create online auctions and sell your customized rides. Dictate the terms of your sale by setting price, length of auction, instant buyout amount & even spend cash to mark your auction as a "featured" sale!
• Gives car tuning experts and adept livery painters purpose as they can now build up in-game wealth through selling their masterpieces online.
• Hiding car setups online turns tuning into a hot commodity.
• Lock paintjobs to their respective cars
• Every vehicle comes with exhaustive car history data, including total distance and time driven, total winnings, total cost of repairs, number of races, number of owners, number of times sold, and more.
• Every vehicle sold comes with its extra (and stock) parts in the trunk.

Microsoft: Do me a favor and make this song/video the opening to Forza 2. I want it to be the official theme song. OK? 

For the record, I will also accept the inclusion of this instant classic. Thank you.
