Hi its Vince with CITROËNChop! You’re gonna be in a great mood all day cause you’re gonna be slappin your troubles with the CITROËNChop.
Now look here’s a potato. One slap you got big chunks for stews, two slaps home fries in a second. And now look at this when you add a mushroom you more you do it the finer it gets you don’t have to switch any blades.
Now, you love salad, you hate making it. You know you hate making salads that’s why you don’t have any salad in your diet. Now watch this one slap, salad!
Watch this...Mirepoix, fromage, terrine, Carla Bruni.

HAPPY 20th TO ME!
(Sorry, Gawker gerbils won't let me start a discussion so I had to wedge in somehow)

Something must be up though because he kept flicking switches above his head between attempts to get it moving forward. I will never understand these modern cars and their "electronics".

It sounds like an Evinrude.
And the steering wheel is just way too big.

And we're going to have to keep our PS2 systems, because the old games don't work on the PS3

Of course you could say that the PS3 overheating issues are so bad that the nomex is necessary...

I agree with you on the suit, though.

The never ending wait is causing expectations to sky rocket.

Sure, it's a great source of entertainment, but really, why bother when you can get out there and do it yourself?
05/14/09
are we still doing that?

Nevertheless, once I got my driver's license at the tender age of 16 years and three days old (along with my first speeding ticket), I have not played a single driving simulation game, as I could get off my ass and drive for real any time I wanted to. Granted, I wasn't exactly driving Porsches, but I could (and did) earn money, spend it on parts, build up my car, and race it.

Yeah, but I can get up and race for an hour before I go to work. Of course I can go to a track day, but it's expensive, far away, expensive and takes the whole day (plus prep time). GT5 isn't perfect, but it lets get in my racng fix when I want it. It also allows me to drive a bunch of cars I wouldn't normally be able to drive.
I've raced off-road (Baja 500 style) as well as flat track & TT on bikes.

You're not actually driving. You are pressing a few buttons and moving a joystick around. You may not be able to go to a track day all the time, but that just means that the occasional times that you can are all the more fun. You may not have access to the turns of the Nurburgring, but that doesn't mean you cant find yourself a windy, mountain road (unless you're in the midwest) or an empty, abandoned stretch of road in the midwest (they exist, dammit, I've seen my share of them).
No, it isn't as exciting as we imagine an actual race track would be. But it is a lot more interesting than a video game.

You need a wheel to play GT. Ok, you _can_ play with a joystick, but it certainly doesn't make for a very good simulation.
Personally, I mostly play GT during the winter when my car sits, resting comfortably on it's summer performance tires, safe from all of the salt on the road and the people who can't drive.
