The animation during the preloader was amusing. Loading is always more bearable when there's something to look at other than just numbers or bars, good job on that one.
This game has very good art, you definitely have a talent for drawing with flash. The cars are well drawn with a good amount of detail. The homie on the front page would be more interesting if he was animated, though.
I don't think they are particularly pimp-ish though, and the 'customisation' of the vehicle is also rather limited - all you can really do is change the colour and add a novelty. You should work in a feature to add spoilers, lowrider suspension etc.
The music was well chosen given the theme of the game, those are good big-bass cruiser loops. a major glitch with them however, is that they don't loop properly. This gets VERY annoying after a short while (i still have it on right now, it's driving me crazy).
There could have been more personality injected into the piece I feel. Maybe an short introduction from the homie on the menu, and more animation on the backgrounds; there should be more ghetto life going on! Currently, it's just a little bit boring.
You should also consider a "Test My Ride" function, where you could see your 'homies' driving the ride along the street or whatever (you'll need to extend your backgrounds and make them scroll for that).
As you named this v1.0, i assume you're going to makeanother version? please consider my suggstions, i think yu could improve upon this flash. For your only submission however, it's not a bad start!
