Default Safe Sportscar Screensaver

i've been browsing around for some nice sports car screen savers. does anyone have any suggestions? most of the ones i've found are some form of ad-aware, or just plain boring.

thanks

Just set the screensaver to play all the pictures from a certain folder, thats what i do. I set it to do a slideshow of all my pictures in the "cars" folder. It will play all the pictures in that folder, and all the pictures in sub folders (for example i have cars, then i have the different companies in folders). Thats better than any screensaver you can download if you have a lot of pictures, last time i checked i have well over 700 pictures.

just an n_wrigth and birger said, put all your car pics on one folder (or download all the car pics you like) and then set the windows screensaver to run a picture slideshow of all the pics on that particular folder and voilą! instant safe car screensaver!!
