If you love tuning and racing your online car as much as your real car, then you need to check out the Race-Star Converttable. This convertible coffee table houses a complete racing rig inside, letting you run your virtual ride around the track just like the pros.
A driving game cockpit is nothing new, but usually they are standalone rigs that are bulky and must be stored somewhere when not in use. The Race-Star Converttable folds up into itself to become a somewhat awkward but still legitimate piece of furniture.
