............when you've been playing so long and late into the night that your closing your eyes on the straights just to get a few seconds of rest, and then wake up with the race finished and you came first.
...when your wife buys a cat for attention because she knows she won't get it from you! (true)
...when your bottle of beer is only half empty and you could have sworn you opened it 8 hours ago with the intention of necking a quick brew before bed! (true)
...when you mislay GT4 and realize you haven't gone into a frenzy and beg your wife to call all your family and friends to ask if they've seen it, and when they reply "no" you look at old photo mode pics to help you feel better . (also true)
..when you go to every parking lot in the area trying to find a Skyline R34, and then crawling underneath it to see if the AUTOArt logo and '1/18 scale model'-text are actually there
..when you go to city hall to try to get your birth date changed to the current day in 1967, hoping to see someone pulling up the driveway with a brand new Ferrari P4 for your birthday
..when you go to a car auction wanting to trade your reasonably prized car for that same P4, and when they stare at you like you're crazy you reply: 'what's the matter, you probably birthday-glitched 3 of them, and my car is rare in the used car dealership so it's a good deal!'
When you find yourself looking on Craigslist and autotrader.com for the Formula Gran Turismo car... I mean, c'mon, it's gotta be there somewhere... right?
...when you take the racing line... on your driving licence exam.
...when the papers around your desk all say stuff like " dumb bloody b-spec idiot- another 72,5k for body rigidity" and worse.
When you pull up next to a guy in a Bugatti Veyron and say to him, "Yeah! I got one of just like it but in matte black." or whatever gift color you have.
When you carefully time and synchronize your B-Spec racing times with your "special times" with your significant other, lady friend, girlfriend or wife, so to minimize time wasted away from GT5.
I made the mistake of explaining my girlfriend what B-Spec is, so she knows how I roll now.
