    For the FAQ: When were drivers editions made?

    Since I see 1999 drivers editions for sale on ebay and on other websites all the time, here goes... Drivers editions were made in 1997 only. If a car has the DE stuff (wheels, shifter, steering wheel) but isnt a 1997 it isnt a de! Also, DE's were either ginster yellow or jazz blue. Its not really a major issue, but everybody seems to get all upset when somebody posts a question about it on here so there it is. If I missed anything please add to it.

    Again, this quote was taken from the FAQ and a new thread created. Please discuss this topic and keep it CLEAN!!!!!

    If I have to remove any off topic banter, flaming, or even just general chit-chat I WILL remove points.

    Thanks guys!!!!!

    Again, this is for our FAQ. Be good.

    Interesting.

    I guess the real question is, if it is a MY 98 but was built in 97 does that make it a DE or a DE leftover?
