Just bought Gran Turismo 5 for my PS3. Before I could start the game, I had to install 4GB worth of shit, then the game starts, logo flashes and bam! Says I need to install 8GB more of shit...I'm an hour into this process already. What the hell happened to buying a game, putting the damn disk/cartridge in and just being able to play it?!

Not to mention i really want push to start, snazzy climate control & toyota 86 headlights soo if 2014 offers this than there's a chance I'll go for it. Otherwise I'm perfectly content on waiting.

I can make it work, but will I feel comfortable doing it... Not really.

You could get a lightly used lease turn-in for much cheaper than new in 15.

I bet you those things don't EVER make it as FR-S options. Then what?

I go to one of those girly girl salons (only place that really know how to cut hair), only cost me $20 and they do a really good job. I see girls spending a lot for their hair there but since i only get maybe 3 hair cuts a year, its all good.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize the roads were built for cyclists and cars are just so lucky to be able to also use them.

Roads were originally built for pedestrians and later bicycles long before cars existed. They will usually have right of way unless they're obstructing traffic.. Now if there are bicycle lanes or sidewalks, those are safer if not required by law. Regulations vary city by city and state by state. For example, pedestrians might be required to use crosswalks only if available or travel in the opposite direction of vehicle traffic. Bicycles are required to follow rules of the road.

Then again "might makes right." Here, cars are legally required to share the road with bicycles. But most bicyclists use the completely empty crosswalks instead of trying to share the road with SUVs and trucks. Not everyone will stop, regardless of what the law says.

On the other end of the spectrum, I hate when I'm riding my bicycle in the street, and I'm clearly riding on the extreme edge of the road to let the driver pass, and they just creeeeep on by. I appreciate your concern for my safety and maybe that you're trying to make it obvious that you see me, BUT HOLY SHIT! I'M TRYING HARD TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY SO YOU'LL FUCKING PASS ME ALREADY! FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!







I just got road rage sitting in my chair thinking about riding a bicycle.

When cars were starting to become mainstream (turn of the century of the 20th) cycling was very expensive and pretty much only reserved for the very very wealthy.

I was also being sarcastic. I don't mind 90% of the cyclists out there because they respect the fact a car/driver could kill them and don't feel like their intitled to the middle of the lane.

Sorry, I knew you were being sarcastic. I couldn't resist a chance to share some of my "worthless facts and trivia knowledge."

19th century bicycles were a toy of the rich. Turn of the 20th century motor cars were still limited to the rich and bourgeois. By then rubber tires and metal framed bicycles were cheaper and more available than motorized cars. Many of the early motorized vehicles were regular bicycles with home made piston engine strapped to the frame. It wasn't until the 20's that cars became mainstream. 50's they were ubiquitous in American culture.

It's been a long time since i used bourgeois in a sentence.
