Thank you to all the LLJK and GTCC folks and the rest who invited me (Hi HerrJetSet) to participate in a lot of clean and fun and crazy racing tonight/this morning. It was a blast.

I have to say gish guys, that zombie demolition derby we played was quite fun earlier today.

Basically one guy goes backwards trying to hit everyone coming the opposite way, if you get hit, you have to go back, with full damage on it becomes quite the task to stop anyone or get away from anyone.

GISH racing, fun times tonight, that drop a class thing we were doing(it needs a name, I nominate "Two Bear Racing") was awesome.

Woo! Finally caught up on 20+ pages of thread. Fun "racing" tonight, LLJK and one GTCC guy. Beer, driving, and goons are the best thing to come home to at 1am after work.

The question we brought up tonight is "when is the GISH/LLJK/GTCC/SAEG Miata meetup"? Also, is there a way to advertise or promote club get togethers like "weeknights at 6CST" or "Friday Night PT Cruiser Cash for Clunkers Roundup" other than this thread or IRC? Maybe a section in the Google Docs spreadsheet? Craigslist? I don't know how organized everyone is, but it'd be nice if we could plan ahead to know if there's a Saturday night drift meetup or to put aside some time to tune for R3 ovals on Thursday nights or something.

Nobility is sadly overrated.
I brought this today with the intent of spending tonight, and tomorrow playing the poo poo out of it.

Turns out I can't play it because I get the E66 error. "Great!" I think, wonder what that means.

Apparently I have a modified Xbox, and my drive firmware not the original. Well Microsoft, its not. But its not flashed or jtaged or any of that poo poo. I did it so I could buy Forza 3 and play it, because when my disk drive broke you told me I was out of warranty by one, loving, week (oldschool fat Xbox brought on launch) then wanted to charge me over $200 to fix it, and send it back. gently caress that, I replaced the drive myself.

Now after 6 months of inactivity, I download the latest dashboard update and now I can't do poo poo with the console, bar stare at the flashy new dash.

gently caress you Microsoft. I want to play Forza. That's all I ever wanted. To play Forza.

That is some hardcore poopsocking. He was mentioned in this weeks In Review on the Forza 4 blog.

Also, was wondering if anyone has ran into this issue; http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/4916685.aspx Players have discovered a glitch in the community/storefront in the last 24 hours, that is giving them 999,999,999 credits. Can't say I wouldn't go hog wild and buy up every car in the dealership, but that would also defeat the purpose of playing Forza 4 for me.

Just browsing though the car store, finding ways to waste money when I saw the '90 Camaro and got a great idea for a livery. Luckily I got lazy and checked the storefront first, because they did a better job than I could have hoped to do.

edit: I'm also taking the plunge into manual + clutch, making my driving finally assist-free. The one question I have with that is when racing, do I shift like regular manual, except just mash the A button in addition to the shift up/down button, or should I be using the clutch like I would in my own car? (ie- clutch in, brake, shift down, little gas, clutch out, and go)

Geez, and I thought the guy at level 94 on my rivals list was overdoing it.

To be fair though, the amount of exp to get from one level to the next doesn't seem to increase that much once you get past 50, so I'm pretty sure that "two years to reach level 150" was based on the fact that most people playing will jump to some other game a month or so after the start playing.

I learned rather quickly that this paint scheme + C425 GMC Syclone + knowing how to actually take a corner properly = endless fountains of pubbie tears as their lovely glitched Darts and Euro hatchbacks fail to keep up and/or ram it off the track. Though to be honest the paint is more just insult to injury because holy cow the Syclone is really fast and responsive with the right setup.

Speaking of Rivals, you jerks really need to do more of the track day and autocross ones because it's awfully boring having only three club times to compete against.

Since there are multiple clubs involved, you guys might want to make your own leaderboard or something... but it will probably take some honesty / an honor system.
My best time on a Nurburgring event was 2:00:700-something in a souped up R3 RUF V8. It was a glorious, but dirty, lap.

That was an epic crash with sim damage on. And then it was even more fun trying to drive afterwards, then just deciding to try and make a roadblock.

That was so much fun, then ICy had to go and win by sliding on his side for like 5 minutes to move 5 metres to win the race.

That would be so much fun with a full field.
