But a long wait for Gran Turismo 5 finally paid off.

I got an XBox so Forza has slowly beaten out Gran Turismo in the last 7 years.

Back to the rally games with Colin McRae, 2.0, 3, 4, 2005. Then Dirt 1 and 2. (apparently marketed as Colin McRae games in non-US markets)

And of course, Burnout for some relaxing destruction a la Demolition Derby. Burnout 3: Takedown, and Burnout: Revenge, but not Paradise. (something about Paradise just didn't engage me)

Driver was more my kind of game than any of the GTAs, but they were in there too.

Need for Speed was in there too, but not too heavily.

Then my love affair with the WRC grew and demanded its hours. Meanwhile Gran Turismo 2 and then 3 would also vie for my affections.

Step 1. As a wet-behind-the-ears teenager, a sketchy adolescent friend showed me Gran Turismo and after hours of coming in 6th, then 5th, then 4th, 3rd and 2nd, First Place finally came and with it the joy and satisfaction of competitive driving. And such began a love affair with polygons, sound bites and varying…

DAMN! FIFTEEN HUNDRED NEWTON-METERS!?! Holy Cow! That's a lot. I mean, it certainly sounds like a lot. That's a huge number, it must be sooooo many torques.

Who still makes videos with only 360 horizontal lines of pixels? What is this, 2009?

I can buy Dodge Rally Dart??!??

Seriously "V8" in this case is not just a minor faux-pas.

Yah, who knows, might have been the wind :-)

You will .. cho-kssh ... submit to a complete ... cho-kssh ... strip search ... cho-kssh.

Dat sound!

What fool thought this epic fail would have been anything but?

I voted for the Audi quattro earlier, but here is another pic just to be sure.

Not my favorite odd-cylindered vehicle, but certainly a fun little around-town bike. 500cc a-thumpin :-)

Well, I thought I was going to be clever and validate the 787 as having an odd number of cylinders because since it technically has zero cylinders, and zero (in my mind) is both odd and even, therefore the 787 fits.
