Mario Kart Wii Update 2: 15 minutes in..

I got home in about the expected amount of time, mowed the lawn then started playing Mario Kart Wii. I've already beaten the first cup in the 50CC Circuit, using the wheel. The wheel?
Yup.

After reading this article on Joystiq I decided to start playing with the stupid wheel to see how I like it. The steering is smooth and responsive, although when a sharp turn comes up, I'm finding myself over-correcting. I've tried the automatic and manual drift settings, but so far, drifting is still a mystery to me.

John and Andrew are coming over later for our first un-official Mario Kart Wii event. Time to kick the tires and light the fires (or at least the sparks).

To be continued...
