Accident, especially infuriating as it was literally the only thing left in the house to eat!

Man, that happened to me Monday with Kraft Dinner.

Beetle haters. I mean, why so much hate for the beetle in 2.03?

Hmm... maybe because Hitler forced Ferdinand Porsche to make the people's car (The Beetle). Some people don't like driving a "Hitler-mobile".

Which it isn't, but oh well...

He didn't 'force' Porsche. Anyway, without Hitler the modern car industry would most likely be very different...

So I'm not the only one who does that. :P I usually get my thumb out in time though.

Yeaaa the car doesn't have a power steering. Turning it is like turning a truck steering. Heavy and by accident that happened... Not impressed, have to drive the car with a sprained thumb and it just made it all even harder.

Thank God the Persona has a power steering. Well, it'd be idiotic driving a 1.2T car without a power steering :crazy:

This?

A 1.2T engine seems way underpowered. That car would grind my gears.
 
Well, I meant to say 1.2 ton :lol:

Power has got nothing to do with power steering, but weight does ;)

And this is mine by the way, although the picture was taken in August 2010, the day we got it.

I was going to say :lol:! No power steering with that? That would be like driving a tank!

I hope you're not basing this on experience from the GT5 section...

That section grinds my gears, the one time I was in it some guy was so ludicrous that I lost my cool and got an infraction. I will never visit the GT5 section again (Except for photo galleries and Ryou's GT5 Story).

It must have one. Modern cars nowadays must have one otherwise as you said, driving a tank! :crazy:

However though, the Perodua Kancil that I drove during the license test doesn't have a power steering and eventhough the car is small but it's still very difficult to turn. Especially when doing the parallel parking. It's a pain!

There is a fair amount of intelligent people who roam the GT5 section too..

They're in the minority.

And me? :D

The amount of homework I have GMG, it's so big it has it's own gravitational field. Wait, why am I posting here...

Oh yes and you matty. I still haven't recovered from Monday football training yet. I had to run for 20 minutes straight

What I do is to present it by enthusiasm. Say it as if you really enjoy such topic, even if the audience doesn't really enjoy it as much as you do. That is what I did for an Organ project for PE yesterday. Too bad I couldn't go over everything as the Coach never really liked listening to all of it, ironically.

I'm not good at standing up I front of people and talking. I tried doing it a bot more enthusiastically this time and didn't just ready it word for word but still I can't sound excited over it. I wish I wasn't so 🤬 shy which is todays gear grinder.

Luckily I got a pretty short Civil War battle and not one of the very long ones. Last thing I presented was about Hot Wheel cars so I actually enjoyed that because I loaded it with pictures of cars. :lol:
 
The fact that the "track pack" for the new DLC is 4 or 5 dollars, yet I don't see nay other tracks included. I want that track pack the most, being that I could then tune and compare cars as far as acceleration much easier. Also, it looks tons better than GT4's test track. I wish they had a driving park though, with a larger parking lot than GT4. I never buy the DLC because I just don't play enough to enjoy it, so I don't want to spend $5 on a track I'll use simply for comparisons. I may buy this car pack, in my opinion it's the best one so far.
 
Girls who post on facebook a picture with a caption about whether to dye their hair a certain colour or not. And the picture is either in black or white, or uses some strange filter. :confused:

I don't buy DLC much myself but the speed test is so tempting, I've been waiting for that one quite a while and if it's only 1 track I'll have to suck it up and get it :).
I have some money left on my account after buying a 20€ gift card for the Spa + cars pack, so it's not that bad for me.

HEY! I don't recall you ever visiting my GT5 Gallery!!! I have a GT5 story too!!! :grumpy: I feel so left out. :(
 
My life at this point grinds my gears. A typical day is waking up late, getting yelled at, getting to school, to find that I forgot all about something. In school, I listen to all the tools and extremely cocky people talk about how awesome they are and how everything and everyone else is gay. For this, I put in headphones as soon as I get into the halls and turn them up enough to drown everyone out, just to get yelled at for having them in between classes. Then I see my girlfriend between classes, hear how her and her mom got into an argument, have her be all depressed and act like she isn't because she thinks it's hidden from me, then next class, repeat 8 times. Ninth period, become tired and burnt out from eating too much at lunch. Walk home shivering, listen to more music on the way. Get home, get yelled at for anything I did wrong, which apparently is everything. My mind is a piece of crap, I keep forgetting small chores and directions, causing me to get yelled at as soon as I get downstairs. Since it's so cold, I usually sit around in my room studying, doing homework, playing PS3, playing guitar, and talking to my girlfriend, sometimes while she's getting yelled at over the dumbest things, just making my day worse. Then I help make dinner, eat, then do dishes and clean the table. I usually get yelled at for not trying hard enough in school or something at dinner. For the rest of the night I hear my mom say how I look terrible because my acne has been getting worse, or my dad telling me how disappointing I am for not playing sports or having good friends. When I want to talk to my girlfriend, she usually ends up crying or wanting to cut or something because of her parents who I think hate her, her mom at least, and then she gets grounded for being on the phone fifteen minutes after ten, even though she's in bed and about to get off. I hate my life right now, and all I can do is wait a good ten years until I'll have a chance at a real job and my own life. I hate everything right now.
edit-sorry about the length, I just needed to vent, although it only helped a little, it helps. So go ahead and have this long story as your gear-grinder.

You're not alone. At least you have a girlfriend. My life sucks too.

What are you supposed to do though? I've been trying to find positives in my life but it's not helping at all. I feel like I want to die, as if there isn't anything to be done by me.
 
@ rb26x, I read the entire post instead of typing TL;DR. But yeah, how do you respond when your parents yell at you? Because if you're silent they feel they can shout at you and you won't do anything, don't yell at them though. Just calmly insult them, your father is the stereotype American father, the WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING SPORT!!? Maybe even while balancing a bottle of beer on his gut. :P But yeah, you can find fun in discreetly insulting them, I do it to people and it's funny, once they agreed with me and I started laughing and they were confused.
