Biggest "I'm an idiot" thing you've done in GT5

[gamerdog6482]

Bought an FTO road car thinking the STC was obtained through racing mods...

That's one of my favorite things to do in this game now.. Try it with a Mercedes SLR McLaren or a Lamborghini Gallardo. Something about the way they take off makes landing backflips possible.. I've spent hours trying to perfect a technique to hit backflips on command.

My best happens to be a double barrel roll in the Gt300 arta guira landing on its wheels

Attempting to drive my X2011 backwards against a field of 15 X2010's on WORD...actually more funny than stupid.

you should try drag racing a fiat 500 in that backwards

 

[gamerdog6482]

Haha, didn't mean backwards, I meant I turned around and drove the other way .

I did an oil change then rebuilt my engine. D'OH!
I washed my car then painted it. D'OH!
I washed another car, then rebuilt the chassis. D'OH!

I went into an online race thinking (hoping) I might not get rammed this time and there won't be any laggers in the room. D'OH! 👎

Yes I'm an idiot, I know.

Geting first place on indi road on a lobbie full of really good clean racers, just to do a victory spin out at what i thought was the finish line... lets say that little line before the Finish line wasn't the Finish line and i ended up in third..

I painted my zonda with the only chrome (gold) I had, then decided to paint the wheels only for me to stupidly not change to the paint wheel option, suffice to say my zonda is now matte silver........

Still you should try it

Having having my internet off for about 7 months due to having moved house, i finished vettel challange all gold recived the white x1 and black proto. When i eventually got internet on updated to current version only to be faced with the message PLEASE REINSTALL CARS both x1s and about 200 other cars that are now unobtainable........ Very very dissapointed

Well this was pretty stupid...the day that Race X was released in the US, here in EU we didn´t have it yet so i entered to a US server to take a look at the track...then the guy who hosted the race went off and i was the unique guy there so i became the host...people started to enter and asked for races...

The thing is that because of the lag and some other stuff i don´t like to race online...i play BF3 MP not racing games but i do hot laps with other PC simulators.

Well the thing is that i didn´t know so much how to set up the race and everybody started to ask me to put assists, then restrict the PP limit, put assists off again, etc...and i was like "okay i can do it"...then i started to feel some pressure because i never used it...lol...so i asked yeah "okay...but what car? It will be better if we use the same car..." Worst thing that you can do lmao...everybody started to say different cars and i was like "oh shi*"...some started "come on start the race"...then..."are you retarde*?" "WTF are you doing, come on start the race!"...Europe users desperate to race for the first time there one day before releases and the stup*d Foxiol in charge of that matter. lol

So i was acting like an idiot because i was not in charge and suddenly i became the super king of stupidity without a clue in what to do hahahah.

They started to quit of course...and i was...oh well...time to go using the back door..."exit"...:"yup!"

Yeah shame on me but if you don´t have a clue in what to do just like me don´t host a room for race. Best hosts are those who knows what they want to race and put their own limits...i had nothing in mind and it became a mess in a few seconds. lol

I felt so dumb...

Not so much embarrassed because no one can see you in the internet but oh man....my nick put on shame hahah.

You know what makes this so funny?
The Formula Gran Turismo CAN be used in all the races and is half the price.

Only just realising that in time trials you can turn off the 'ghost car' by pressing the up button on the DS3.

The amount of frustration by having that stupid ghost image block my view.

This, the ghost is a pain when I do the time trials.

I host every night. There is this guy that had been coming around quite a bit. He’s a good racer and I’ve gotten some good side by side time with him.
So last night I decided that if he stuck around after I dropped to 400pp I would send him a friend request.
Well he stuck around so I went to send him the FR, next thing I know he’s gone.
Instead of sending a FR, I had kicked him.
After my “I’m so sorry email” I sent the FR and he accepted.

Strictly Arcade mode when friends aren't in the room. This should be a rule.
