10) you shaved off 10min on your daily drive to work since the release of
GPL
9) you installed the third new gearbox in your car, because you use the
clutch only for the start

8) you drift through every corner

7) you are looking for the pitboard sign, when you drive into the garage

6) when driving your car your are not looking to the left or right, but
pressing on the horn left and right on your steering-wheel

5) you try to outbrake other drivers before every turn

4) you installed sidepipes w/o any dampening to get better sound in your car

3) your boss wants you to drive him to the airport, you don't drive him to
jfk, but to the Nuerburgring

2) someone asks you before the last formula one race of the season, who is
going to win, Schumacher or H?kkinen, you just don't know what the hell he
is talking about and just answer Jim Clark

1) you are looking for the Shift-R keys in your car after an accident

Please excuse my grammar, I'm german-speeking

I have an automatic, but sometimes wonder "why it shifts so early."

I try...

Would be nice...

I did that, like, the sixth day I had the game.

That's a given, and the #1 on my list.

No, but I do turn off the radio and sometimes open the windows for that
"rush."

That would be hard, since I don't live in Germany.

Ha-ha!  I remember doing something like that regarding the Nurburgring race
(when I still had the demo, and was thinking of the track that would be in
the game - I had no idea, did I?).

I don't do that (lack of accidents?), but sometimes I do look for the F2 key
(whoa, I wanna see that again!).

Whilst walking around the house you find yourself thinking things like
"Dammit, I could have taken a better line on the entry to the kitchen",
and so on.....

"Useless quote"

    I've done EXACLTY that with N99 stuff!!!

    While not at 6:00am (I don't get up that early for ANYthing!!); I DO
hear that every night from the "Better Half."

    MAN, that's good!!

    Struck another chord there, didn't we?

Some of my daily commuting roads would make great GPL tracks :)

...when you browse through a manual on the recommended settings for bump ***s
for a Toyota Tercel.

...when, after making a great pass on another commuter, you want to view the
replay.

...when you ask the local gas station attendant for genuine Kendal motor oil.

Thanks for the great post Michael!  =)

Cheers!

You sit in your real car at a traffic light, and are impressed that your hands
aren't shaking on the wheel.

You sit at the light, holding up traffic, because you're waiting for the guy
with the green flag...

You find yourself 'trail-braking' into your driveway.

I thought that all of the postings here were brilliant, but this message was
the best!
