You know you have ALREADY played GT5 too much when...

[Captain Slovv]

When you look in the mirror and notice a foot long beard that wasn't there 'yesterday'

 

[MrGrado]

I reached for the shift paddle and when it wasnt there my first thought was "buggy, someone should fix that"

 

[Rekktify]

............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.

 

[Hawker77]

When you constantly hear the GT5 menu songs playing in your head.
When you push your shopping cart fast at the store and drift it around corners.

When you think about racing ALL THE TIME... even during an argument with the wife!

 

[W3H5]

...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)

You know you have ALREADY played GT5 too much when...

... it starts to rain and you drive into petrol station to change back "rain tyres"

 

[EvilEyez]

..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!'

 

[W3H5]

...when you start saying "I'm not addicted, I can quit playing anytime."

Yeah, right, keep telling yourself that!

 

[Pezzarinho17]

When going to "work" is where you sit on GTP forums planning tonights strategies / purchases / investigations!

 

[W3H5]

...when you say "honey, I'm just going for a drive" and then sit in front of the TV!

When you buy a new car and are suprised when the dealer doesn't hand over a DLC redeem code.

 

[dominic280378]

When you want to hunt down whoever developed B-Spec mode and make them play it to see how nonsense it is.

[Tweepent]

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?

 

[FT-1]

... when you purchase something in real life and you think about the music being played whenever you buy/win a prize car.

[darqpassenger]

when you do a corner at 120mph to see if the your vision shakes
when you adjust the seat of your car to have the same cockpit view as in GT5

 

[speedthrill]

When you tape a start up sound off your own car. Just to hear what it would be if you clicked the icon in garage if your car would be in there...

 

[Onusukamarusan]

...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.

 

[vigi147]

[CarBastard]

"You know you've waited for GT5 too much when..."

Last night I was in my bedroom a bit tipsy, and I actually reached my GT5:CE box to see if my hands went trought it or of it indeed was real .

 

[Coxis]

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.
