You know you've been playing GT6 too much when...

[Swagger897]

Windows 8 actually reminds me of GT5's main menu - lots of squares and rectangles scattered around a screen with little consideration for user-friendliness or ease of use.

well... you can change them...

 

[chzsln485]

well... you can change them...

I did. I installed a Windows 7-alike Start Menu. Don't ever again have to use that appalling tablet interface hastily adapted for a mouse and keyboard.

 

[Doodle]

Wh....why am I suddenly getting likes on a post I made in February?

 

[chzsln485]

When you genuinely consider a Honda Jazz Si (the UK equivalent of the Fit RS) as your real-life first car.

 

[Ninners]

When you walk behind someone to take advantage of their slipstream and pull out to overtake at the last second.

I'll be honest guys, I do this. When walking I genuinely monitor the racing line. I'm not even ashamed. Well, not anymore...

I've been doing this occasionally

 

[Bo]

I've been doing this occasionally

I've been doing it since I was a toddler.

 

[sparkytooth]

When you can name just about every car in the game off the top of your head, and know them all to heart.

 

[gaije]

When you change your couch to a chair to make your car lose weight

 

[Swagger897]

When you classify changing your battery as engine upgrade 1, and changing spark plugs as engine upgrade 2

 

[ProjectWHaT]

When you vacuum your room you try and do it as quickly as possible following the racing line.

When you vacuum your room you try and do it as quickly as possible following the racing line.

Nice double entendre with the vacuum cleaner analogy

 

[djslofstra]

...when you want to give your car an oil change every 200 kilometers.

 

[2clicks]

When, before you set off on a journey with your actual car, you use your camera to film a makeshift montage of it as if it was on the 'Car Select' screen. (I did this before )

 

[ZZ-II]

....when your girlfriend is telling you that you make racing sounds while you sleep.

 

[djslofstra]

...When you are looking for the 'watch behind you' button on your steering wheel.
...When you want to push the pause button when you almost crash your car.

 

[tribolik]

When you are driving to work and complain the steering is too light...

 

[djslofstra]

When you are driving to work and complain the steering is too light...

Haha nice post. Hate on the haters.

 

[stuff1138]

When, "Just one more race and then I'll go to bed." turns into, "Just one more day and then I'll go to work."

 

[MidFieldMaven]

when you're 99.9% sure it's why your blu-ray lasers keep needing to be replaced.

 

[Hypergolem]

When nothing makes you happy anymore. Zahara? Meh... New seasonals? Meh... New Vision GT? Meh...

 

[MrUnknown]

... When you you actually go to Andaluzia.

 

[sk8er913]

When, "Just one more race and then I'll go to bed." turns into, "Just one more day and then I'll go to work."

good one.

 

[ToyGTone]

...When you passed the Driving Test and you expecting to get a Honda S2000 for free.

...When you go to your Toyota Local Dealership and ask how much the Castrol Tom Supra Cost.

 

[silverman_GT]

......when you started identifying real life cars as "standard" or "premium"

 

[chzsln485]

When you walk around real car dealers humming GT's menu music. You also walk around the cars there looking at them like you're in the Gallery View.

 

[ODB]

when driving on traffic I have to force my self to actually use brakes every now and then and not try to hit every apex, I mean it feels ridiculous sometimes licking the curbs at 50 km/h in traffic may even look bit dangerous

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

....when your girlfriend is telling you that you make racing sounds while you sleep.

Where did you find said awesome girlfriend, and are there more of her kind... one please!

I looked through all 12 pages and didn't see it:
- passing a stoplight (intersection) look up to see your split time.
- refer to your commute time as a lap time, and constantly try to best it.

 

[chzsln485]

- refer to your commute time as a lap time, and constantly try to best it.

No joke - my mum actually did this. She used to arrive home at the end of the day and be all "I've beaten my best time!"

It made me feel a bit less weird.

 

[Thematic]

.. everyday sounds remind you of driving in GT6. Example: a sneeze / the (very awesome) tyre chirp from 1.12.

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

you know you've been playing GT6 a lot when:
- you decide your "weekend toy" will be a Miata. (2010-2015's have the whole 'lol face' thing going, happy car)
- When you buy 10 Miatas in the game, and still only have a fraction of them.
- Get excited when one of said Miata's has an available 6 speed custom gearbox.
