I haven't read the entire thread but I'm sure it's been mentioned. I'm still new to Gt5 but coming up on ONLY 400 cars I'd love an actual "Car Collectors" garage. Something with maybe 2 sections (wings) and 5 floors with a shop area and even a driveway. After all, if we are to own, drive, maintain and repair so many expensive pieces of machinery we are most likely very rich and can afford to house (organize) our collection.
5 floor parking garage. (Of which i can label / name them ). When returning from a drive or race I could pick which floor to park on. I'm sure we all would like a way to orgaianze our cars beyond drivetrain or year. We all have favorites but that's a mighty vauge term.
Top Floor : My Absolute Favorites. Tuned, perfect color, ready for my online room, drifting, or Seasonals.
4th Floor : My great cars. ALL already tuned. I'm thinking this would be a busy floor
3rd Floor : My Collectibles. Cars I felt the need to own, rarely drive but shouldn't be mixed in with my tuned racing cars.
2nd Floor : Lots and Lots of cars that haven't been given a promotion yet.
1st Floor : divided into a few areas.
New Arrivals : recently purchased UCD and such
Tuning Shop : cars in the process of being tuned
My Driveway : of course in front of my house. Holds 3-5 cars max. My absolute GO TO cars that I could select right from GT HOME without even going into my garage.
I would never substitute this for PD's search system.
Oh how I would love a section for notes! Notes about a car, the tune, etc
A driving Log : being in any of my cars and being able to see where it's been, raced, what type of race, how it placed and the lap times it ran.
A track log : same thing. What cars have I brought here, how did they do.
Ohhhhh... And better sounds. Early in Gt5 I was kinda bummed by the exhaust, car sounds. I've played plenty other racing games but recently I have come to appreciate PD's exhaust sounds. Not being overdone or amplified to all sound like race cars. Many, MANY cars have a sound that I appreciate. I do think there is plenty to expand on. Especially when adding parts.
That's my rant for tonight. I have so many cars that I wish I had time to drive, tune, race...not enough time for them all :-)
Love this community!
