Default Now I can race on rainy days!! Thanks Hubby!

So the Hubby surprised me with a few toys for Christmas .. and now I can kick his *** at Gran Turismo 5 (another great movie).




Logitech G27 Steering with paddles, pedals, and shifter. We just ordered the mount for the shifter tonight, s/b here in a week.

The chair is from Playseat.

I get to play it on this... 120"

We're waiting on the extension to mount the stick shift, and I hate to say it, but I can't wait! The hubby is really good at these driving games. I've never been much on the video experience. But this may change my outlook. This room is a close 20x30, and has surround sound wired in, HDMI too.

Here's an update . Chair is a little intimidating, but after a few runs, you get the hang of it.

Played more than a dozen races with and without the hubby.. wholey crap now I see why most of you need a 12 step process for detox.

If it wasn't for me playing in a toys for tots tourney today, I'd be on the GT again this morning. And he thought I wasn't going to like this.
