Today I hustled the Pink Honda Odyssey to a 7:34 ring time online. Then I got kicked out of the room, I think the other players were unhappy their tuner cars got beat by a Pink Minivan lol!

WTF?! LOL!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!!

I finally got some action on last night. I didn't get on-line, but I was working on those Seasonal Events or whatever. I did find a Bugatti Veyron which used ALL my money, so I gotta' start that over, lol. A lot more events to play, so there's a lot more opportunity to earn a lot more money

I just can't bring myself to play this game anymore. I had more fun with Shift 1. Probably have more fun with Shift 2 as well.

I still want to play this game, but part of me says get rid of it! Ugh

All I'm going to say is that I almost agree with you. I'm not getting rid of it, but I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I was, and I find myself already eagerly anticipating it's arch-rival's arrival this fall... I'm affraid once it lands, there won't be much GT5 action. Even after this last update, the mod'd V8s still sound like SH1T!!! I CAN'T STAND IT!!! WTF?!!! ARG!!!

Ohh man, you shouldn't have bought that Veyron you win it for beating the GT World Championship under A-Spec Professional. Not only that its a pretty crappy car for racing, only good for top speed/drag racing. check out www.gtplanet.net they have a forum there and under GT5 theres a prize car list, you can see what cars are probably not worth buying cause you will win them.

The Seasonal Events are great, I believe I'm on your friends list (Tommy_861), if you look at my profile I have the cars you need to easily beat most of the Seasonal Bonus races (including a Ferrari F1 car with an absolutely sick suspension tune on it that you should be able to slaughter the F1 races if you keep it on the track) shared there. Just click Borrow and you can feel free to use them.

Shift 1 was an exercise in frustration. Not a fan of Combat racing which is what it was, it had a huge focus on bashing your opponents off the track, and the first corner at EVERY race was always a massacre. Also many of their non real world tracks were absolute crap.

Shift 2 is much more promising, and I will be buying it. They supposedly took the emphasis off violence and are making it more of a real race sim. Probably due to the FIA GT License.

Awe crap... Don't tell me it's a premium car, and not a standard like the one I bought, LOL. Yeah - it handles like crap (understeers like no one's business), but I'm hoping I can change a lot of that with mods'. I was able to get do pretty well with my Veyron on FM3. I got rid of almost all the oversteer on that one Thanks for the heads-up though. I had to paint this one another color because it was so awful. I guess I should just complete A-Spec, but that's a LONG ways away.

I probably didn't play more than a few hours on Shift... I think I'll either rent Shift 2 or see if there's a trial I can get from PS Store.

Yeah I hear you on that. I had the trade paint and dirty overtake in like the 2nd tier with the badge system. Interested to what they have in shift 2.

Nope the prize one is standard as well. A lot of people have tried but there are much better cars to spend money on in the game. Its always going to be too heavy and the chassis just isn't made for corner carving.

I hear where you're coming from I didn't buy it to really use it, per se. At least - I don't expect it to really do well. It's just like buying Leno's airplane powered hotrod; more for show than go. It sure wasn't cheap, though. I only got a stupid "High Roller" trophie for it, though, LOL. Thank you for your comments, though. At least if it still handles like rubbish after I dump another few hundred grand into it, I won't feel, too, bad

New update this morning before work.

One of the updates was now any car over $1M can't be traded, or something along those lines.

yep, it was basically to stop all the dupers who have been duplicating cars like the X2010 and giving them out to everyone and their mother. Its become a plague in online racing.

[MAGfuz]

Well now they have extended the deadline until early march (3rd I think?). Thanks to hugger I got my X2010, cause I know I would never get it myself!
