I'm fifteen and I've been on and off a bit since GT2. I think it was the year before GT3 came out (I was very little) and my cousin's friend had brought it and his PS1 along for a visit to my beach house. I went through a stack of probably about 20 games and since I absolutely loved cars (and still do), I picked it out of the stack and asked to play it. I did play it, and I was hooked, a little. Didn't play it again after he left.
A year later or so, I was going out to rent a game when my parents rented a movie. I had gotten my hands on a PS2 at this point, and while selecting a game, I thought "Hey, if I loved GT2 so much, I should love GT3, too!" I didnt. I have no idea why or what was behind it, but I hated it... a lot.
Sometime in between GT3 and GT4 I picked up GT2 and played it, a lot. Lots of fun.
A few years later, GT4 had recently come out (again without me knowing) and I was still in the oh-hey-let's-go-rent-a-game situation. I was probably 10 or 11 at the time. I wanted to rent Burnout 3: Takedown but my über-conservative dad wouldn't let me, and he told me to get GT4 instead because of how much I loved GT2. I complained because I didn't like GT3... but then, of course, I loved it. I bought it very shortly afterwards, became addicted, pre-ordered GT5

, bought a DFP and here we are today. I'm in love and I'm almost embarrassed at how long it took me to realise it
