I have a few original ones :) 👍 :

... When you go to a public track day and ask about the "Seasonal Events" and if you will get paid £250,000+ if you finish first.

... When you go to the Nurburgring in real life and wondering "Why are all these god damn AI getting in my way?!".

... When you attempt to put your G25 or G27 steering wheel on your real car (It is possible but hard as hell)

(following the above) ... When you put your G25/G27 wheel on your real car and try re-mapping the buttons. But seeing that the buttons don't work, you call up Logitech and claim your G25/G27 is broken.

... When you go onto Google Maps and look for your local Gran Turismo car dealer (which doesn't exist).

... When you go into your real car and start looking for the Real-Time Adjustment dial on your steering wheel to turn the Traction Control off.

... When you are about to lose a race in real life and look for the START button to redo the race.

... When you turn on your real car and expect the steering wheel in front of you to calibrate like this:

Love those

Also when going to your local ucd you enquire on how much the fgt is
 
I got a couple more... :

... When you get your car dirty you expect it to clean itself for the next race/drive.

... When you hire Lewis Hamilton to take the place of your B-spec Bob.

... When you think you can get new tyres and fuel for free by pulling into a fuel station.

... When you press the horn on your real life car's wheel expecting to change the "camera view".

... When you try to beat the Stig's times on the TG Test Track within GT5.

... When your Driving Force GT wheel smells like burning plastic and you lose your FFB (happened to someone I met in a drifting lobby)

... When you drive around Spa Francorchamps in real life and think "Oh, is PD giving away the Track Pack DLC for free now?!"
 
- when you realize 14 hours into the Nurb 24hr A-Spec event that you are already on 20 million Cr. and won't see any of the 1.8million x2 prize money! Doh! (sadly this is very true!)

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:👍

More lulz points to the Lewis replacing bob and the free Spa DLC. :lol:👍
 
When you try to take prefect lines into corners in real life...

I've been doing this way too much recently. I go out wide then cut extremely close to the curb on the turn haha. Its pretty fun actually, good practice for track days :p
 
Your GT5 disk is stuck in your PS3 and you're ok with that.:dopey: Or if it isn't stuck you only eject it to watch a Blu-Ray movie:sly:
 


Go Ferrari:cool:

Lewis Hamilton is kind of an ass... Sorry.

Nah it's cool. I'd post some more GT5 jokes but I'm all out. I guess the really good ones are already used but if I do come up with a couple more I'll post them here 👍 .
 
... you spend all night updating from v1.00 with no sleep at all just to play GT5 the very next morning until noon.

Yes, it's too much... But sooo worth it ;)
 
When you delete $10 million worth of duplicate exotic cars from your garage because they are "cluttering things up".

When you spend way more time deciding which shade of black to paint a car than you do driving it.

When you've bought and immediately sold more than 20 Lexus LFA's just for the paint chips.
 
So I'm not alone on that one then :).

Unfortunately, no. :)

Have you ever laughed at yourself after realizing that you just bought and sold a $150k supercar so that you could get a paint chip to paint a $16k 1980's POS car?

Welcome to Gran Turismo! :boggled:

Haha i do that too. Not to mention i went on a ft86 g buying spree just to get maziora paint chips.... I guess icouldve purchased tvrs instead but to hell with that

Where else are you going to get Passion Pink for your Beetle or Volvo 240GLT?

I think we are all guilty of buying thousands of LFA's for the awesome paint jobs :D

Pretty good proof (and a sad example) of how far into the crapper PD reached for this paint chip idea. :)

BTW - I do the same thing for the "Radiance" and "Merlot Red" colors, with the Jag XK and Aston DB9. Just pathetic.
 
You know you've played too much GT5 when......You come up with forum post titled, "you know you've played too much GT5 when......"

Radiance is really nice.

In my case, I constantly purchase M BMWs just for the Interlagos Blue chip. I don't know, but I just love that blue.

Yes, I'm another one as well. I can't get enough of the LFA aka the LFCrayola crayons and TVRtistic color chips. :lol:

Here's one I've was thinking about.

You know when you played enough of GT5:

When you look at cars either real ones or scales, you begin to hear the UCD music and out of nowhere, JUSTIN comes to take away the rarer cars in the area and give you kei cars or for Hot Wheels, generic fantasy cars.
 
You know you've played too much GT5 when......You come up with forum post titled, "you know you've played too much GT5 when......"

...and then you post in that thread 1 year and 3 months after the thread was originally posted. :lol:
 
When you win an event and expect to get a car after

When you believe that you don't need a crawler to slide under a car. :sly:
