Spent a couple hours playing the roommate’s copy, especially drifting. Ok, its a great game for the driving. so much pisses me off, but once you get into the driving aspect of it deeply it’s amazing. ---

Damn, the people who made GT5 just keep lying to me… It said it will take about 20 minutes to install the game. So I took a shit (which anyone who knows me will tell you they are not fast)… Then updated my iPhone to OS 4.2… Then took my dogs outside… AND FINALLY it was installed. It took about 45minutes. WTF!!! “har har har… I may kuwait sis yea to pway game, an now I may kuwait even ronger!” -Little Asian man WTF is w/ the standard/premium cars? I bought an R32 GTR N1 in the used lot and can’t even change the God damn wheels? ---

The major difference is premium cars have very high detail, and you can use cockpit view to drive them. I only use standard car for B Spec, driving with the bumper cam is simply no fun. ---

I figured out how to join a room your friend is in. Goto the community tab on GT mode, and instead of clicking lounge the mug, click the yellow icon just above it, will say “playing…” and you can go straight to the room they are in. ---

One of mine has an orange arrow, one has a green. I am at level 6 in Bspec I think, and 16 or 17 on Aspec. Under my observation, I believe that indicates how motivated the driver is. To my understanding, if the driver did poorly or are simply way to fast for the field, it will start to lose motivation. I did shared my driver online if you guys wanna check it out. ---

I’ve seen people who will quit the race simply because they are not leading or feel like they can’t catch up. I usually just host race and rarely joins, most online race are all set up with no restrictions and assist, making 1000hp cars like they are on rails and usually turn into a crash fest with the guy who brought the fastest car wins. I find setting restrictions attracts like minded players, I’ve had races where people are using just the recommanded cars with no mods duking it out for 4, 5 lap bumper to bumper with 0 crashes. That was fun, win or lose. ---

Crashing cost more damages, and more money to repair. I think it will be more evident once the full damage model is in place, as I believe you will see chunks of the car missing after crashes.
