Hey, Matt Rock here: writer, drummer, lover. I like long walks on the beach, pizza, and my 458 Italia 
.
My favorite cars are the Italia, the Aston Martin DB9, the MINI Cooper S, and my crazy-awesome '68 Fiat 500 F, which I've nicknamed something that I probably can't say here; let's say "the gentleman entrepreneur Panda." It's painted vitamin C orange, with gold rims, a carbon fiber hood, and a spoiler, making it the coolest car ever made in the history of coolness. I built it to try and race at 250pp, only to find out that it's rare to find anyone who wants to race at such a low performance standard. Broadly speaking, I'm a fan of European cars, particularly the exotics. I also like odd cars; cars you wouldn't normally expect in a racing game.
I tend to like the weirder rooms; demolition derbies, strange challenges, panda ball (long story), and generally goofing around. I flip the serious switch for the racing series I've created over on the playstation.com forums; the GT classics and exotic touring series. I'm not the sort who races to win so much as I race to have fun.
How did you find GTPlanet?
Last night I was talking about a race series I was putting together in a room called "Top Gear PP Challenge," and someone recommended I stop by here.
Where are you from?
Binghamton, New York in the United States.
When did you start playing the Gran Turismo games?
One day many years ago, I went to a game store to buy a specific game, but they were out of stock. The clerk told me I might be interested in Gran Turismo, which had just come out that day (for the PS1). I bought it on a whim, and since then, I've gotten every "main" Gran Turismo game for the PS1, PS2, and now the PS3 on the day they've been released (excluding prologues)
Do you play with a steering wheel?
I do not. Also, if this is relevant, I do not use a microphone as mine is broken, and my other USB mic doesn't work with the PS3.
What other games do you enjoy?
That's a pretty lengthy list. Fallout, Civilization, Grand Theft Auto, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Borderlands, Sims 2, World of Warcraft, Metal Gear, FIFA, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2, The Movies... I could go on like this for a while.
What are you most looking forward to doing in the community, now that you're a part of this site?
I've created two racing series', one of which I've posted here and is awaiting moderator approval. I hope to host yearly racing seasons that will appeal to both hardcore and "just for fun" drivers.

I'm the sort of guy who will drive the Italia in every race, even when I'll get my butt handed to me by a bunch of X2010's, merely because I enjoy driving it so much, lol.
I'm not complaining or anything, I'm just hoping it's up soon enough that people can get into the first race on wednesday.
