It's about a sixteen year old girl who is dying and she makes a list of ten things to do before she dies, she won't let herself die before she finishes her list. Her parents are divorced, her best friend is acting all wierd and she falls in love when she least expects it.

I think this game is great. When you first start the game you are given $10,000 and you can buy any car you want (if you can afford it of course). You can even do licences and work your way up from the bottom to one of the best racers with the best car or the car you've always wanted to buy. It is a great game and with about 721 different cars to choose from it will really keep you entertained. Definately a great game to play.

You read that right: VMK was never intended to last forever – we'll close the game for good at the end of day on May 21st, 2008." Yavn Speaks, VMK newsletter.
I know a lot of VMK'ers visit Teen Online. Everyone will need to find somewhere else to go. Will it be Club Penguin, Puzzle Pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean Online or somewhere else? It's difficult though to say goodbye to the friends you've made along the way.......Maryanne
