For the kids: Help Mr. Stephens build a ZR1 engine
For many, General Motors' Mr Stephens' Engine Shop online game is full of metallic looking stuff, none of it discernibly purposeful. What you're working with are extracted parts of the LS9 engine that powers the Corvette ZR1. Unless your ZR1 is in the shop for catastrophic engine failure, these components aren't usually seen out on their own. The General's little game has you correctly identify the major pieces and awards a prize after three rounds of correct answers (or lucky guesses). So many people, not just kids, are ignorant about the inner workings of the complex machine known as the car, so we applaud this effort to shed light on the mysteries that lie beneath the bodywork. Watch out for that fuel rail, we found it a little tricky to place. If anything, we're eager to get home and have the young ones begin learning auto anatomy. Thanks for the tip, Eden!

It was a little too simple.... But then again, I'm WAY past the age group....

Took 35 seconds to complete. But still, good simple fun.

Of course it was simple, it's for kids.
The wallpapers are pretty nice. Does anybody know where to get them in higher resolutions (like 1920x1200)?
