With the Member of the Week back from vacation we're back in the swing of things, and this week's newest inductee is known for his collection of die-cast cars and love of Cowboy Bebop, so without further ado let us all welcome the newest member to find a vacant apartment in the Member of the Week madhouse, Cano!
I feel honoured of course, but it's weird. Even if I've been here for a looong while, I've always thought of myself as a low-profile member. Altough I've been more active than ever lately, so that could explain a lot. Anyway, it's cool that someone actually nominated me. Bunch of weirdos :0 who nominated me anyway?
The GT3 prize car list! I remember trying to find out what race gave you what so I could get all the colors of the Ford GT40.
As for what has kept me coming back for 10+ years... the useful community. There's cool people in here, always have been. Some have been here for the duration of the wild ride, others have hopped in along the way, but this is a way rich bunch of people, very contrasting and diverse. That makes this place really fun and informative.
Rumble Strip/Cars in General all the way. You can find me over at the Hot Wheels threads telling people they overpaid for toy cars while I do the same, or in the anime thread worshipping non-existant girls with glasses. If not, I'll be around in the cars forum, sharing the passion. And lately, *gasp!* I've been posting in the GT6 forums too. Insane.
Cars. But when I started my GT career (GT3) it was cars that I was not familiar with, like all them unknown japanese cars that didn't have V8s underhood. I was intrigued by them. GT was an early window for me to a previously unknown automotive world.
It's my second name. Wat.
Gran Turismo. I've never played Forza. Altough I'd like to at least try.
Well there was Mario Kart for SNES, lol. Oh that and Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed which made me buy a el cheapo wheel setup for my Windows 2000 PC just so I could enjoy sliding around in the 930 Turbo. But frankly my entire racing game career is called Gran Turismo.
I like it. Still getting the hang of it but I feel it's way more advanced than the usual forum stuff. And the storage capacity thing is insane.
As a guy who doesn't have enough time on his hands to play online mode with friends and sucks when he does, and relies strongly on arcade/career mode, I've found it too easy because of the extreme rubberbanding of the AI. Still, I like to make it challlenging. VW Bug against Lambos? Sure.
:0 such a win-win. I'd like a big house so I could house as many stray dogs as I could, and I'd ask to be their planet's ambassador here on earth. I like it here. Er, more or less. Not in Mexico, though :/
Gran Turismo, lol. You drive stuff around, the cars get repaired magically, and you don't die if you crash head-on against a wall at 200 mph. Oh yeh.
Old cars free-for-all. Rules be damned, just build an old car and come racing. Outclassed? Build it more.
Mexico City is one of the smallest cities of the world but it's in the top 5 on population, so we're pretty cramped. Living here is as costly as living in Las Vegas, but the average income is lower than the worse income in any US city, so do the math. You can practically cross the entire city and back for like $2 in the subway, and the freaking government has cleaned up a lot of the abandoned cars that adorned our streets. Those bastards.
Hard choice. Cosby if he plays sax or has a robotic arm.
1:64 DIE CAST CARS. From amassing a very considerable collection, to customizing and restoring them, to selling them so I can buy more, to maintaining a blog about customizing them. Also, anime, and a lot of drawing. Oh and photography. Can GTPlaneting be considered a hobby?
My two feet. I've yet to acquire my first car. I was this close years ago (1970 Dodge Coronet, mind you) but more important stuff like wife, house, 30 days worth of traveling have gotten in the way once and again. It should happen this year though, but it won't be anything special.
Can't say I have a favorite right now. Give me any Gran Turismo or Zelda and I'll be good to go.
I hardly listen to songs alone but to complete albums. And they've been:
Texas Pandaa - Days
Spangle Call Lilli Line - Or
Muse - Absolution
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'
The entire Cowboy Bebop soundtrack.
It's not a monkey but it's an afrosaur. Way better than a monkey. Even one with an afro. This was drawn by my brother in an oekaki board.
It really depends on the game, but it's usually sealed when they're more or less new, or used/new if they're cheap. Also, borrowed with no intention of giving them back. I love those.
Nah, not for the time being. I hardly have time to play with them things and I have an enormous list of games in queue that will keep me occupied for at least two years -plus what will inevitably be added during that time. 'Sides, money. They cost a lot of it now.
What is the obsession with you people and keyboards? Stop dating Cody. What the hell.
My wife has an Alienware thing with lights that follow the music beats and all that trash. Does that count?
My wife's pastel azteca. Damn. I'd also ask her to pour some poison over it. Them sombitches won't take me alive.
Eh, 6 at most. I'm not nuts, I'm just weird.
Probably Dan Gurney, as he raced in anything and everything, and formed a freaking racing emporium that is a force to be reckoned with even to this day. Fangio also has a place in my latinamerican heart. And of course the hermanos Rodriguez. Amazing drivers that daredeviled too much.
Basically it was "moar muscle cars in GT and less japanese blenders plz". I still think this should happen. I only think it with better grammar and spelling now.
None of them PS3, but a few of my PS2 controllers met the ground several times. On purpose.
You bet, right at the top of a pyramid in Uxmal, in my latest vacation trip about three months ago.
I don't know. I remember I left for a while but I don't even remember when, for how long or even why. All I know is I won't be leaving here ever again.
Shem. The dude quits drinking riding half the world on a bike. That's awesome.
Oh yeah baby <3
Whatever Daniel was high with when he formulated his "special", he can't controll it. I'll say some baking powder and sugar and the result is several thousand bags of animal cookies.
The Camry 2.2 thing was pretty epic. Also the guy asking to be a mod and reporting Jordan. Also W&N calling himself a hot rodder. Or the never-ending pun rounds at the Infield. There have been several instances of funny during 10+ years in here, that's for sure.
Only in the premium members racing meets, and I've sucked baaaaaaaad. But it's way fun!
Nah, I'm not that hardcore of a racer. I hardly participate in online racing.
Yeah. GTP has been important to me. I learned a lot about cars and english and hell, I even got into photoshopping cars here in the first place with the photochop competitions of yore, which is what landed me my current job at the car magazines, which is the most awesome job ever and ever. GTP is far more than a website for me, and it's taken me 10+ years to fully realize it. But I've realized it. I'm not going anywhere.
Ta!

19. Why did you choose that avatar, and why is it not a monkey? (Don't ask me, I had nothing to do with this.)
