Left to right, Luiz, Pete, and I can’t remember. Always fun to see who is who. Eric is in there. Should be a skinny one with all the bike riding.

Typical Al. Fancy.
Thank, Homie.
And heard it was a great day. 👍
It’s Luiz, Pete, Al, Greg, Eric.
I probably got that wrong, because I can’t remember what someone said two minutes ago because this new controller is making me laugh.

Yes, it was a wonderful meetup of great Geezer friends yesterday in Kissimmee FL! The impetus for this was Luiz’s trip to Orlando, and then Pete decided to fly in from North Carolina. Al and Greg live in Tampa/St. Pete area, and picked up Pete from his hotel and drove to Kissimmee to Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews just outside Disney World. It was an hour and 15 minute drive for me to get there from The Villages. What a great time, enjoyed every second of it.
Cory had it right, L-R Luiz, Pete, Al, Greg (cheeves1956), and Eric.

Pete had a designated driver. The rest of us would be driving (except for Greg), so we were all very responsible. I had my adult beverage when I got home. 😀🍻

The solution is that I need to install the PS5 version on the PS5. There is a known PS4 bug that they haven't fixed yet.
I do have the PS5 disc in my original metal case, but the PS5 doesn't come with a drive, so I either have to re-buy GT7 to get the PS5 downloaded version on its own or buy the extra disc drive.

It’s pretty much a fancy Civic Type R, which is also pretty bad ass. Integra was typically about an inch longer wheelbase and, uh, more nice and 1.8 liter opposed to 1.6 liter. But Honda then made the turbo engine so nevermind two engines, or two chassis.

On the back of my HR-V
Back when it was HPD. I raced against the guys on the team. They were developing the CVT transmission in a Civic HX. Which is now in my HR-V.

Thanks go out to everyone who suggested ways of installing the disc version of GT7 on the Pro. However...
"Similar to the digital edition PS5, you aren’t able to attach an external disk drive to a base PS5 model."
We must use their PS5 disc parts. An article released a few days ago describing how to install their drive also made no mention about using external drives. It's as if SONY doesn't want us to use external USB drives or something. Imagine that.

It sounds like SACD all over again. I spent $2k on a 35 pound paperweight super audio CD player, that does sound nice, but the format and music catalog pretty much died.
Sony is nice, but, maybe too ahead of themselves, unless you hand them your money.
In reality, this should work, but probably won’t.

Master, the disc drive upgrade is only US$ 80.00, and it is a very simple install and looks like it was made that way from day one (which it should have been). You will no doubt enjoy this machine for many years to come, so having the benefit of the integrated disc drive should be a no brainer. Plus, it widens the base for those using the Pro in its vertical orientation, adding stability.

Here is the result of my adventure trying to give water to a stray dog after it had been locked in an airplane's cargo hold for 13 hours. 4 weeks with that thing.

Of course, but I am not going to pay scalper prices, and SONY has no idea when drives will be back in the supply chain. In the meantime, my PS4 version still works.

Is this the main thread for new Geezers-in-training?
I'm new here, but not to GT7. Been at it since mid-2023, in VR for at least 40,000 miles.
I'm 48, married, with teenager in the house, so evenings and weekends on Minneapolis time is where I'm going to be available.
Looks like I need to friend oldboy1943.
edit: is voice chat on for these things? What's the conversation like?

Hi Fetterelli,
You've reached the official Geezer site on the Planet. Conversation is 95% friendly with off color commentary at times. We try not to engage in "serious" track related "conversation", but it happens, and typically passes once the next race is underway. We accept Geezlings, on a trial basis to see if there is a fit. You can't get too serious about winning, we're doing this because it's supposed to be fun! Send oldboy1943 a FR.
