... when taking a helmet with you, each time you go driving in RL

... when you wonder about the new feature PD gave us: oncoming trafic

... when you abuse your tires, brakes and engine just to wake up the next day and realise that the brake discs are still down, the brake pads are still non-existant, your tires are still rubbed down to the carcasse; and the worst: your head gasket is gone and your water pump blew up.

When u shorten Real life to RL!
 
When you start looking for the screen names above the cars ahead of you on the highway.

When your wife goes shopping for another tv and a wifi modem so she can watch her shows and actually use the internet.

When you think "ya know if I ever lost my legs I could just keep racing in real life by installing a ps3 controller in my race car" ...and you think you'd be just as fast that way.
 
When you wash your car down with soap and stand back waiting for the car to start spinning around infront of you.
 
When you watch motorsport on tv and wonder "Where is the bloody Live Timing button?"
If you're on a bus you wonder why is the bus driver not following racing line (lane marks, it happened to me once)
When you buy a car, you expect it to come with paint.
 
...you log into Netflix, see The Sting come up as a suggestion, play The Entertainer on youtube and your 6 year old says "This is the song that plays when you get your oil changed!" :D
 
. . .when you realise there's no 25,000 cr. Racing Slick tyre sold on your local tuning shop.
 
While eating dinner, you start building a plate-size model of Tsukuba out of mashed potatoes. (Somebody please catch the reference).
 
When you look at your neighbors Chevy Silverado and tell him it's really a 1954 Corvette Convertible.

Hehe, And the Spyker is an FR car.

As for shopping carts I'm turning 30 in a week and I have done that as long as I can remember.

Walking around corridors or driving on the "racing line" i do that too.

Real life steering wheel too big? I agree.

Getting an oil change for more performance? It does work though not as well as in game..

I would say trying to exit corners as fast as possible is a good one

On a side note after driving many standard sports coupes in the past I have just got a new imported right drive auto Mitsubishi Delica. I keep reaching for the shifter by my door, mashing my left foot down, looking up and to the right for my rear view, turning on the wipers instead of the lights when I am starting the car, and I also grap the turn signal lever and try to put it into drive/reverse/park.

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. :(

:crazy:

You know you’ve played GT5 too much when wildlife starts to show up on the tracks. I was racing the Trail Mountain course when I saw a rabbit in the middle of the road. I swerved to avoid it and spun out of control. Just as I was about to hit a guardrail that would have sent me to my death IRL, I realized I was playing GT5 and crapped my pants. I’m now a transsexual dwarf.

I think the rabbit might have been a white median stripe, but I’m not sure. Watch out for rabbits!

this by far is the best one i give it 5 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

when you say to your wife..

"babe...No I am not addicted okay... look It's the computer racing and playing the game now I just tell it what to do..."

...don't leave me babe..."

i told that to my girl funny as hell

......when your wife, with a growing distaste for GT5, starts unknowingly yet happily humming the menu music.....................and you are afraid to tell her about it.
 
When you can't be stuffed playing anymore.. Been so busy GT5 has just been neglected, guess it's for the better of me.
 
....when you think it is a good idea to go back to the living room and continue playing GT5 after 'satisfying' your wife/girlfriend.


also


.....when you put in another racing game and complain at how unrealistic it is....where's the driving line? why is there nitrous? where are the weather effects? why don't the cars handle like the real life counterparts? etc

Hey, I've only thought about it too!💡 before I started the 'satisfying' but I'm usually finished (physically tired to the point of passing out from...... ummm....satisfaction) when I'm done. So I just fall asleep. That said, it will be a brave/stupid (closely related) soul who attempts to put that idea to practice. :scared:
 
When you go to the circuit manager and ask them to change the course time, time progression and weather to your liking.
 
When driving IRL becomes slow motion and ultra boring.

When you grab every chance to draft....on your commute.

When you find a corn on your left thumb caused by the steering wheel.

you know you been playing gt5 to long when you do the oil change to your car it now says castrol or mobil 1 synthethic
 
When you Scandinavian flick the shopping trolly at the end of the isle then proceed to drift a perfect hairpin turn into the next isle, almost clipping the edges of the bulk stack of products on the end with the front of the trolley as you "apex" the turn. Then proceed to manji down the entire isle and repeat the process.

Ha-ha, I so much know what you mean. Scandinavian flick really works wonders with shopping trollies.
