- Fort Myers, Florida
Hello, my name is @The Dolphin.
First of all, I have to tell you beenstalking lurking with an active account since May of 2013, but I decided to change that right now (mostly because someone realized I exist and decided to briefly follow me sometime this past week, I'm not naming names
).
Anyways, here is a little bit about me: I'm a 21-year-old Puerto Rican/Dominican-American man (who can't articulate a sentence in Spanish) from Fort Myers, Florida.
Let me answer some questions:

Let me answer some questions:
- How did you find
?- I honestly don't remember. I think it was something along the lines of me looking for information and discussions on Gran Turismo 5 before it was released in 2010.
- Where are you from?
- Like I said before, I was born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida, a city roughly halfway between Tampa and Miami in a region called Southwest Florida (though I did live in Miami for two semesters at a university). The only automotive-related attractions here that I can think of is the winter estates of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford near downtown Fort Myers, and a private car collection in Naples that may-or-may-not have a 1967 Eagle Mk1 F1 car in the collection (don't quote me on this). My nearest road course is Sebring International Raceway, about a couple of hours towards the north and inland (though I've never been there).
- When did you start playing the Gran Turismo games?
- I honestly don't completely remember this either. I guess it was in the early 2000s that I first played what I think was a demo for either PS1 GT game (leaning towards GT2) in the basement of my sister's house in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
- Do you play with a steering wheel?
- I one point years ago, I did. It was a cheap PS2 wheel that had paddle shifters that felt uncomfortable (I had to wear baseball batting gloves). I only really used it for TOCA Race Driver 3, because my PS2 wouldn't play GT4 for some reason.
I eventually broke my wheel because of a temper tantrum (I felt troubled as a child). I anticipate buying a wheel for Project CARS (I have my eye on a Thrustmaster T300RS).

- What other games do you enjoy?
- I primarily enjoy racing games (of course) and open world games that have vehicles and are mostly rooted in reality (like GTA). I played games on systems from the Nintendo 64 to the PS4, and a little bit of PC gaming (it was mostly NASCAR Racing 4).
- What are you most looking forward to doing in the community, now that you're a part of this site?
- First of all, I would like to thank @Jordan for such a magnificent website, it makes me want to be a part of this community even more. I would like to participate in some discussions around the forums (mostly in the Rumble Strip and the Motorsports forums) and have friends to race with and against.
