Jezza's GT, the car that he wanted so bad he bribed a high-up person at Ford to move him up the delivery list, which in the end was delivered six months late? The car that worked once then refused to start again? The car that's alarm went off seemingly daily and nightly?
Reliability? Build quality?
Seriously, anyone will tell you that modern Japanese cars are bombproof.

Recently being a host. I hate it when someone thinks that because I'm host I can do whatever I want, I'm not like that.
Story (say whatever you want):
Recently I was in a varied PP room where the original host left. I was left as host. We went to Suzuka at 530pp and the whole room went to complete Fustercluck. It was a "Clean" room with street cars, which few drivers obeyed, I used my slightly detuned and ballasted LFA (She feels weird and twitchy so I'll tune my suspension later for her normal setup). I made a call for everyone to drive clean. Some guy who happens to speak my other language (Spanish) calls BS on me for a race incident caused by us both. He battles me on Lap 1. I'll call him Chel (that's not his PSN name) we were on the exit for the first couple of turns before entry into the chicane. I accidentally push him a little, it wasn't much of a hit as it was an unintended bump. He comes back and nearly drills me off course if it wasn't for my LFA's responsiveness. I continue the race after smoking him. He starts insulting and calling me names in Spanish and he thinks I don't understand him (Unlucky for him us Venezuelans are foulmouthed as well
). I insult him back (My stupid rage overtook me) and kicked him (
). I left the room subsequently as I felt bad for him.

The Stig FarmerLol, backing Bob up
I've had two experiences recently that have been fairly annoying.
The first was running Circuit De La Sarthe no chicanes. Was racing a Citroen GT Road Car but I forgot to change the gearing so I was running slow on the straights but was blazing through corners. Start of the race, lots of cars in front of me hit that first sharp corner and start bumping each other around, I escape unscathed. Tons of cars start passing me on the straight, I give them the line. Well, a little bit later, another car caught up to me, I hold the lower line so he can pass me on the optimal line. He starts to pass then swerves into me and puts me into the wall. I was on the mic so I asked why he did it when I clearly gave him the line. He said, in an older voice, "How do YOU like it?" I didn't even touch one other car on the track, so I just said "Ok, right, bye." in a sarcastic tone. As I was exiting out of the lobby, he starts laughing saying "Oh, so you can hit every car out there but won't take it back?" I have a feeling he thought I was another car with a similar color, but it wasn't worth sticking through to race with him more.
The bigger problem I have is being accused of driving dirty when I'm not. I've played racing sims for long enough to know when to give and take and to be aware of my surroundings. Couple days ago people were driving into me when I was holding a line and I was accused of being a wrecker. Last night a guy was all over the track. I held the line while he had horrible oversteer. I was faster and on the line, so I went in to pass since I already had the momentum, guy swerves back into the line and smacks into me. Next corner, same thing, oversteer, I overtake since I have optimal position, he goes straight down and I wind up spinning him out. He spent the next 4 races intentionally hitting me and other drivers, but lobby leader wouldn't kick. One race he was on mic and was behind me, and said "Hey, come here, I got something for you." Fortunately, it was his last race and he didn't have much driving skill to catch up to the main pack, but dealing with people like that has been common the last week or so for some reason.

Sparky, I think I was in that race with you and I think I have the replay of that very race. I remember running Suzuka with you and seeing someone going nuts at you in the lobby.

Online in a free run lobby at London. I was in a Honda Integra set to roughly TOCA Specs on racing medium tyres. I get on track and find that the fastest time is a 1:06. On my first flying lap I get within a half second of that time and the next lap I beat it. One of the other drivers in the room comments over his mike that I'm obviously hacking because there is no was a :censored:box like an Integra can keep up with his Ford GT. Another driver decides to start crashing into me and then all hell breaks loose. The Ford driver starts yelling to the host "Kick Kiwi! I don't want 🤬 hackers in my 🤬 room!". I leave before I can be kicked.

Or maybe a sore loser
I love messing with sore losers
I don't do much racing online. I mostly hang out in DBeav12's Cops & Cruise Club lobbies. That's probably why I have little to no skill when it comes to online racing. So that's why I'm joining the WRS!

I'm thinking about it. But I like to keep my online racing spontaneous and varied.

It's best to join lobbies that have hosts that know what they're doing.

I'm sure it's more common now, but some people have been claiming their victorious opponents to obviously be hacking and/or cheating since well before the hybrids rose to prominence. It's not really the hybrids' fault, it's just the fact that many many gamers are buffoons and the buffoons with hybrids gave the buffoons without them even more excuses to be buffoons. So I'm just gonna keep blaming the buffoons.

Heh. "PP check."
*ahem* I do see what you mean. I guess that is one way to get rid of cheaters. Didn't think about that.

The first time I'm back online within the last 3 weeks and the following happens:
- I was testing my GT Academy GT-R and got raged at by some guy for accidently hitting his veyron.
- Some kid in an aventador hits me into the wall during my first run and then starts chasing me saying that we were racing when I never said that I was racing him. I clearly told him that. Ugh, it just annoys me that some random kids always try to race me when I'm just simply minding my own business.
