I think he is cheating on you donnie!

i MUST get this game now...

Don Stinson, also known as "Stinsonian", I have to guess.

Yep, he spells it with a -y, I'm the -ie fella.

Silly question: How do I change my name from "Zz" to something else in Gran Turismo mode?

I've mostly played arcade mode. Lotus Esprit and Mazda Protege reprazent.

Um, I don't think you can change your GT mode name after you've created it, at least, I haven't had to try finding out, beats me.

I'm about 27.5% complete, working on B-specing the 24hr enduros, 1 down, 1 failed, 2 more attempts should do it. Starting participation in a couple of leagues for fun, nothing too involving, just so the game doesn't get old fast.

crap, looks like I messed up in the beggining. Oh well I'm nott oo far into it anyway.

I think I'm about 36 and a half % in right now, haven't played much lately, and I have to run a few laps with an HSC to submit for the weekly challenge still.

a friend from work is letting me borrow this since he won't be taking it to college with him. i really didn't expect much but i am more impressed than i was with GT4. one thing i do miss is the car history, unless it is present for some specific cars that i haven't seen yet.

i also really like that you can start off really fast, no more placing 4-6 multiple times to buy a carbon driveshaft. and the initial car selection... what a tough choice. ended up with a '98 Civic Type R 3-Door

This game has pretty much gone un-touched since that last post I made in this thread, I love the game, but, as with most games for me, I lose interest easily, sucks.

yeah understandable. gimme a week and then i'll probably be joining you. i've never completed a GT game. in fact, i've never even completed an endurance race...

Hmm, endurance races are a pain, I used to have the time for that stuff over summer break for the first couple GTs, but now they have those damn 24hr ones, B-spec all the way for that crap.

how is b-spec? i mean, i remember the older endurance races being so easy if you had a good car, because who the fuck wants to repeatedly fail those? but can you just set your controller down and b-spec your way through those races?

Yep, that's the whole point of B-spec...for shorter races you are trying to repeat for cash cars, just set it to 3x the event, can't remember the control to do it, but, it's simple...

However, for those multiple hour/many mile enduros where pitting is involved, the 3x speed resets to 1x for pitting, and then you have to manually set it back to 3x, just letting you know that, you'll be likely to have your ps2 on for like 24 hours straight if you b-spec those.

ok, so take a week and subtract a few days... man i haven't played this in forever. blame it on the other game that I was in the middle of and the games that have come out since...

Lmao, that's a long stretch right there...4 days...wow, you haven't played that game in FOREVER!

I feel ya on that though, and here I am installing WoW, ugh... of course, even while drunk, I had enough sense to tell my friend that I wouldn't buy the game sober, so that we'd have to stop by Wal-Mart tonight after leaving the bar if I was going to buy it...
