OK, lemme start 1st!  You know You're addicted to ID5 when.. 1. I wait patiently from when the Thread "News of The New Initial D Arcade Game" starts from Page 1, waiting for ID5 2. Saving Millions from Salary for ID5  3. You must play it everyday, at least once  4. Checking the Arcade everyday, and says "SH*T" when it's still ID4  5. Opening this Forum/Thread while working  |

| when you listen to eurobeat songs 24/7. Yes, even when you are sleeping. |

| the game draws you in like the dark side... the game tempts you... gnaws at you... eats at you... until you sit in the chair and put in some money... then you go "wtf am i doing"... but by the time an answer come.. you are already playing... and it doesnt matter anymore... . . . until you finish... then you think "wtf did i just do" |
| Posted by: Roaddawg Apr 27 2009, 11:40 PM |
| 1. When you became friends with Rei.G and his bro (he's from SG) 2. Take advantage of 'double dollar deal' at Timezone. 3. Your bro, who does not even like racing, is now addicted to ID5.  4. When your music playlist contains only eurobeat. 5. You think that the 86 pwns other cars (well.. it's only true if it Keiichi Tsuchiya who's driving ) |

When you join this forum  True ? |
| Posted by: stormfox Apr 28 2009, 01:25 AM | ||

| Posted by: Josh_256 Apr 28 2009, 04:49 AM | ||
sounds like me... xD damn... i can't wait the arcade center in PIM to upgrade IDAS4 to IDAS5 ~.~ the temptation to play IDAS5... too large for me... >.< |
| Posted by: venth85 Apr 28 2009, 07:42 AM |
| You are addicted to ID5 when you started to spend few hundred dollars on it , FT the cars, or even own more than 1 card |
| Posted by: Heron Apr 28 2009, 08:12 AM | ||
Sounds like me...got 3 cars and going to get a second card soon. |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Apr 28 2009, 10:10 AM |
| You're addicted when your Eurobeat is suddenly no longer AS wonderful without Engine Rev, Brake, and Drift noises. |
| Posted by: TOJI Apr 28 2009, 11:21 AM |
| You're addicted to ID5 if you start watching videos of it every day |
| Posted by: jiamingx88 May 5 2009, 02:05 AM |
| actually the only thing u will addicted to ID5 is to play time attack.. reason: keep on beating ur record till the top peak.. the more u play .. the more u wanna beat ur records.. this is why u will get addicted. |
| Posted by: DamienWolf May 5 2009, 02:41 AM |
| 1. You're FT'd by the 4th day its in your country 2. You've almost FT'd your 2nd car by the 2nd week. 3. You forgot about those (expensive) cards you had on version4 and how Sega ripped you off and just focused on the new game |
| Posted by: ?wha? May 5 2009, 03:44 AM |
| 1, You get antsy when you find people have already FT'd their cars and running only 2 seconds ahead of you 2. You want to play, but not enough cash and no job >.< 3. You love the physics and use it as a sub to being a poof on the road |

| Posted by: sixdegree May 6 2009, 04:26 AM |
| You know You're addicted to ID5 when... You overreacted to a simple corner when driving IRL. You drive with one hand and the other on shift stick for some quick shifting action even though you only go at 60 kph. You drive with a racing line IRL. You downshift your car BEFORE braking. You slam your car's brake just to feel the shock from sudden deceleration. You no longer can act normal/cool when someone happened to tailgate you thus registering that act as a highway/touge battle challenge. You drive faster when listening to Eurobeat. Your IRL driving style and pace change when you listen to different eurobeat song. You ate tofu after you add AE86 to your card. You ate fried tofu after you add S13 to your card. |
| Posted by: john_takumi86 May 6 2009, 06:27 AM |
| You know You're addicted to ID5 when.. -first time playing the game, absolutely you'll play and play again..lol.. -hear the amazing sounds of Super Eurobeat -you know that a new courses and cars available -you discover how to adjust in the game from previous v4...lolz.. |
| Posted by: Kazerz_ProjectD May 6 2009, 07:26 AM |
| 1. When I imagine new mode in ID5 arcade "Cat and Mouse" battle (like in the anime) 2. When I walked downstair with a racing line and wide exits (now no more)  |
| Posted by: -ShinRei- May 6 2009, 05:59 PM | ||
ZOMG, didn't expect anyone to do this, I thought I'm the only one doing this Did You do Trolleys as well? You know what I mean |

| Posted by: Roaddawg May 12 2009, 06:50 AM | ||
Me too! There was once an auntie at the supermarket scolded me because I tailgated her. I also run down the stairs, pretending it's irohazaka dh. I suddenly slow down while walking, pretending to brake before a corner. (only when no one's looking at me ) |

| You know you're addicted to ID5 when... 1)You listen to Eurobeat songs all day long 2)You can't stop watching other people's TA in YouTube 3)You keep playing to FT one (or more) of your car 4)You just go to the arcade for ID, nothing else 5)You think the streets around your house is mountain roads 6)You think your bike is a car in ID 7)You put your favourite ID character picture and name as your avatar 8)You imitate the skills of your favourite ID character 9)You imitate the quotes of your favourite ID character 10)You think that this world is full of mountain roads and nothing else 11)You keep talking about ID even though your friends didn't listen to you Never thought i could list that much |
| Posted by: SonicSP Sep 23 2010, 01:01 PM |
| 1) When you break in real life expecting a powerful boost. 2) You start driving more carelessly in real life, maybe even blocking other people. 3) You try and keep a lining in your real life drive to familiar places. (IE to work or to home, to friend's house) 4) You start controlling gears in your auto car manually.  (lol both also sequential shift)5) You run low on money because play ID5 too much. 6) You curse at your car for not going to 120 kmh very fast on non straight road. 7) You think Youtube is a place of nothing but ID5 TA videos. 8) When you cannot get the image of a Trueno Sprinter out of your head and the engine sound out of your ears. 9) When you're wondering why the other real life car is so far ahead of you when you did not press the brake before you start the engine. 10) When you have trouble playing Daytona again despite having done so for 15 years. (I seems to have converted my intuition to suit ID5 but really bad for Daytona......>_>) |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Sep 23 2010, 06:12 PM |
| You know you're addicted: Once you start thinking to yourself how tempting the gutters on the road are. You start blind attacking people just before you pass them, Nighttime or otherwise. 2nd Gear becomes your best friend. Anytime. Anywhere. |
| Posted by: ishida Sep 24 2010, 02:20 AM |
| I know im Addicted: Because theres once i was in a car and when i was passing the road sign on top, i kept thinking theres gonna be a sound when you cross the checkpoint and add time... ...and also i don't eat at school to save money , i kept singing euro beat and been asked by a lot of friends what im singing, always thinking of entering a corner without braking, can't stop dreaming about initial d and many more.... |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Sep 24 2010, 05:28 AM | ||
There was one time my friend asked me: "what's your favourite song?". I listed out all my favourite songs from Eurobeat and my friend was like: "What are these songs? Never heard them before." |
| Posted by: ishida Sep 25 2010, 05:28 PM |
| lol i answer them simply try initial d in an arcade and you will know...they really did! and now pulled a few of my friends into initial d.... |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Sep 25 2010, 09:02 PM | ||
wow! i never thought that songs from Initial D can attract people to play it...  |
| Posted by: ishida Sep 26 2010, 10:32 PM |
| lol it really did, they play from about February this year until now... |
| Posted by: Saint Sep 27 2010, 07:14 AM |
| You know when you're addicted to IDAS, when you start taking shortest line when walking. When walking, I've this habit of 'cutting' others using shorter lines at corners, then speed up to ditch them. XD Oh, and you'd know you're addicted when you always check TA rankings on the machines every single time you visit the arcade. |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Sep 27 2010, 10:31 AM | ||
Oh yeah, I do that a lot too. I imagine my school is a touge and always take the shortest line . If I'm using the stairs, I use the handrail to go faster just like a gutter in Akina so that when I go fast, I won't fall. |
| Posted by: ishida Sep 27 2010, 11:42 PM |
lol i just beat my friend to the front gate of my school today carrying gigantic bag of books....haha  |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Sep 27 2010, 11:54 PM | ||
I've got you beat. I DRIFT around my line in "Traffic". I end up Inertia drifting every half second when it comes to that. Oh yeah. |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 28 2010, 01:48 AM |
| You know you're addicted to ID5 when... -trying to one-hand steer on real traffic -you're tailgating people -trying to break down your acceleration to 10 steps -listening to eurobeat songs wherever you are whenever you are -having your car( if you have one) with the Fujiwara Tofu sticker/banner |
| Posted by: Saint Sep 28 2010, 06:50 AM | ||
Haha I always do that on 'Iro' staircases. XD I bet people around me would think I'm weird. |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 28 2010, 07:06 AM | ||
Me too! Using my hands as tires to hold onto the handrails(gutters) when drifting Except for the fact of going up the stairs in school, usually i'll be tired when i reach the top and my friend would say i've ran out of boost. |
| Posted by: Saint Sep 28 2010, 07:17 AM | ||
At least your friend knows IDAS5. Lol. My friends would usually ask, 'What the hell are you doing?' |
| Posted by: LETS* Sep 29 2010, 02:48 AM | ||
Same here lol...I'd do this all the time on a staircase going up or down. At the end of it sometimes my friends wonder how fast I went |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Sep 29 2010, 05:46 AM |
| I actually have my hands doing a little up-down shift motion before I start to turn into the corner. Wait. Did I just call the stairwell bridge a corner? |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 29 2010, 06:08 AM | ||
Yes you did and it certainly is one.  I didn't do the up-down shift motion as i didn't thought of that( why didn't i?) I fidgeted my body along with the g-force. Like when braking, most of the weight would be shifted to the front, in this case, i fidgeted my body forward @Saint My friends usually says that too and it certainly looks weird if we put ourselves in their shoes. It's funny in a way. |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Sep 29 2010, 06:15 AM |
| I go a step further than leaning. My legs are independent suspension pistons that dip the inside down and flex in height to keep my center of gravity stable so i maintain contact with the roa-FLOOR when I'm corneri-GOING DOWNSTAIRS. I think I have issues. >w< |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 29 2010, 06:22 AM |
| Wow. I never actually thought of that and found it really creative. Which reminds me of a time i actually tried to do what you mentioned and almost tripped down the stairs. |
| Posted by: Saint Sep 29 2010, 07:14 AM |
| 'Iro' jumps... Don't try that above ground floor. XDDD |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 29 2010, 07:38 AM |
| Ha ha! Agreed! Unless, you're holding onto the gutters(railings). Oh wait, does Irohazaka even have gutters near the jumps? XD |
| Posted by: Akii Sep 29 2010, 10:28 PM |
| Sometimes out of no reason, I start to press imaginary pedals. Imagining I'm playing IDAS5, practising how to drift. |
| Posted by: tkrd48 Sep 29 2010, 10:37 PM | ||
Same here too but I go 1 step up trying the drift wth my Kenari lol... |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 29 2010, 11:08 PM | ||
I did that sometimes too when i'm bored, but not in that form of imagination. I'll somehow 'exercise' my right foot for constant tapping in Tsukuba's corners. |
| Posted by: ishida Sep 30 2010, 12:04 AM |
| lol i once open a Time Attack video of IDAS5 and i started pretending to be driving...the video suddenly pause and i was pause and was like 'what the hell am i doing?!' |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 30 2010, 12:35 AM |
| Ha ha! I'll only do that when i wanna get the flow of how the guy in the video plays. Automatic reaction. Looking at the video screen just makes it seem like we're playing. |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Sep 30 2010, 02:55 AM |
| It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who does things that make people look at me strangely. |
| Posted by: TER~XD Sep 30 2010, 04:28 AM |
| It's quite a surprise to me actually, that many of us does such awesome things, even when there's people around. |
| Posted by: GIDO Sep 30 2010, 04:33 AM |
| I know I'm addicted when I see no problem having no girlfriend as long as ID is here for me. lol. |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Sep 30 2010, 06:15 AM | ||
Hahahahaha, this made me laugh for 5 minutes... |
| Posted by: Icey Sep 30 2010, 07:24 AM | ||
not much to ask for huh  |
| Posted by: Saint Sep 30 2010, 07:30 AM |
| I used to goof around with office chairs 'drifting' around at home with my bro. That was fun, 'drifting' side by side around the tables like at hairpins. |
| Posted by: GIDO Sep 30 2010, 07:38 AM | ||
Being single rocks! |
| Posted by: Icey Sep 30 2010, 07:39 AM | ||
that sure sounds fun |
| Posted by: ishida Sep 30 2010, 11:24 PM |
| lol when i was younger like about 9, i used the office chair to drift around and once i fall and the chair just covered me and i can't stand up....i started panicking like there's no tomorrow for me...and my father took the chair away and asked me 'What are you doing son?!' hahaha...lol.. |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Oct 1 2010, 06:42 AM | ||
QFT. Women make so much noise without actually doing much. At least our cars get work done when they scream. |
| Posted by: GIDO Oct 1 2010, 07:55 AM | ||
And the cars are always there for you. |
| Posted by: brian_infinispirit Oct 1 2010, 08:30 AM |
| ^ well you can say that but the thing is... a car can't cuddle, hug, kiss you when you're lonely and you need someone to lean on... cars can do just fine as companions, but they can't be lovers or spouses... actually, even if you already have girlfriends or you're married, ID won't be much of a problem... just play moderately though, don't make her wait impatiently... |
| Posted by: GIDO Oct 1 2010, 09:05 AM | ||
It's not like I'm saying that ID > Girls. My time will come.. soon. |
| Posted by: tkrd48 Oct 3 2010, 02:56 AM |
| I would love a girl that love ID too...but if she is better then me playing ID then I would retire from the scene... |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Oct 3 2010, 06:18 AM | ||
just like the guy that drives a red MR2 loves Mako in Extra Stage... |
| Posted by: Saint Oct 3 2010, 07:18 AM | ||
Wait, you mean girls can do that? Of course, was joking. Lol. Game's game anyway; can't rely on them as substitute to RL. |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Oct 3 2010, 03:22 PM | ||
THE CAKE IS A LIE! Eh. Women in the context of friendship are all I can hope for. I'm a little too *off* for most women to even consider as a companion for saturday nights. *Hugs the ID machine* |
| Posted by: Saint Oct 3 2010, 04:34 PM |
Haha. If the cabs were to be taken as companions, they're technically sluts cos whoever has the tokens....  ... |
| Posted by: GIDO Oct 3 2010, 05:40 PM |
| NO WAY! SHE'S (cabinet) MINE AND MINE ALONE! *epic hug* |
| Posted by: brian_infinispirit Oct 3 2010, 10:32 PM |
| @ Saint: yeah, the ladies can do that... <green mind>and a whole lot more! </green mind> anyways, for me, one way in which my addiction to ID5 shows is when i quickly tap the floor with my right foot when i'm bored, waiting for something, or when i get impatient... even when i'm away from the machines... |
| Posted by: •keL• Jan 25 2011, 05:23 AM | ||
hahah, i do that a lot in my school as well |
| Posted by: Elise Jan 26 2011, 08:47 AM | ||
Haha! It kinda reminds me of school. When in school back then, I would race my friend to the top of the stairs. I'll use my hands on the handrails to take the shortest and fastest line.. its cute |
| Posted by: Bumpercam Jan 29 2011, 11:06 PM |
| ... when you don't just drift the shopping cart, but also simulate the FR/RR feel by arranging its load. |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Jan 30 2011, 01:40 AM | ||
ya i do that too, i like to put the heaviest thing in front of the cart to simulate r34, in the back to simulate mr2 or mrs lol  |
| Posted by: ishida Jan 30 2011, 04:22 PM | ||
When theres nothing, i stopped...people ask why are you stopping? No engine sorry.... haha |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Jan 31 2011, 06:34 AM | ||
hahahahaha nice onecool pic ishida |
| Posted by: ishida Jan 31 2011, 05:10 PM | ||
Oh the picture is my current ISHIDA avatar.... |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Feb 2 2011, 06:48 AM |
| I hear talk of Shopping cart drifting! If I may note, shifting the weight does nothing to make it feel like an FF or an FR. It's more like MR or Heavy FR. Since you're pushing from behind, most of the force comes from the rear, essentially giving us a RWD shopping cart. Don't you just hate the ones that have all four swiveling wheels? Sure they're fun to slalom, but you can't throw them sideways like *that* since we don't have a steering wheel to countersteer. |
| Posted by: *VIC* Feb 2 2011, 07:13 AM |
| Looks like everyone who play D5 will turn into car freaks. |
| Posted by: Phoenix_Cypher_K1 Feb 2 2011, 08:05 AM |
| When we arrive late to any arcade meeting - we always tell the other person "No boost in "CP4"" >.> |
| Posted by: •keL• Feb 2 2011, 08:09 AM | ||
LOL, i definitely don't do that xD |
| Posted by: brian_infinispirit Feb 2 2011, 09:22 AM | ||
Well, the shopping carts at Cash and Carry seem tolerable for me when I power slide them around. When I feel the need to make the cart's wheels face in the right direction again, I just tighten my grip on the handle. And those were the days wherein I'd usually let go of the shopping cart while it's moving, esp. when nothing and no one's in front of me. |
| Posted by: Bumpercam Feb 2 2011, 11:24 AM | ||
Oh, but they do make a difference. I used to shop for gallon-bottles (those 19-liter containers for water dispensers) and if i shop for 2 (meaning, ~38 kg of water), shifting them to the front end of the cart makes it slide a tad easier, a bit like FR cars. Second type of cart i loathe after those 4-swivel wheels: those unbalanced carts that pull to one side. I can barely countersteer in those. |
| Posted by: ishida Feb 2 2011, 05:00 PM | ||
I thought you would use the water to cool down your engine since it must have overheat even with an air conditioned race track...Inter-Cooler! haha |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Feb 3 2011, 01:12 AM | ||
Not for FF or FR though. Even if the weight was in the back it'd act like an MR or an RR car. Sure it might be easier and predictable up front; but then again, the majority of FF cars have their engines... well, up front. Just like FR cars. On a side note, simulating a braking weight shift by lifting the rear as you slow down and then swinging it around helps break traction. I think we need a topic dedicated to Shopping cart drifting. |
| Posted by: CaleX Feb 3 2011, 06:37 PM |
| ..when you see gutters at a different perspective. |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Feb 3 2011, 11:14 PM | ||
hahahahahahahahahaha !!! intercooler, good one ishida! hahahahaha |
| Posted by: stormfox Feb 6 2011, 11:06 PM |
| .... that when you see roadworks and diversions ahead, you automatically think "Chicanes to tackle!".... |
| Posted by: SonicSP Feb 9 2011, 05:34 PM |
| You know, I thought was the only one who uses drives a shooping cart differently. Even all jokes aside, drifting with a shopping cart is actually practical since your allowed to take a better line which saves you a few seconds. Not really needed, but it does feel better. Although I have a feeling the shopping cart's tires is getting wayyyyy more tear than any other person would use.....>__> |
| Posted by: Bumpercam Feb 9 2011, 07:40 PM |
| When the adage "Get your mind out of the gutter!" mean differently to you. Well, the traction of most shopping carts' wheels is really subpar, they help when you must drift but they are a countersteering nightmare. I'd like to try drifting a rubber-tired shopping cart, though. |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Feb 10 2011, 04:35 AM |
| I don't know about you guys, but from what I can tell, ALL shopping carts here have rubber on their wheels. |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Feb 11 2011, 04:54 PM | ||
phillipines shopping carts have rubberon their wheels? cool! except in malaysia, shopping carts here don't have rubber wheels |
| Posted by: Bumpercam Feb 12 2011, 12:41 AM | ||
There's two kinds around my place, the hard plastic one and the rubber one. The rubber one is usually mounted on the swivel-wheeled ones.  Image size reduced, original size: 800 x 600. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/ReionHikosawa/DSC01001.jpg to view the image in its original dimension. And that, my friends, is how you make an FR-simulating cart. |
| Posted by: SonicSP Feb 13 2011, 06:57 PM | ||
Anybody tried any FF shopping carts yet? |
| Posted by: Bumpercam Feb 14 2011, 04:38 AM |
| Of course, grips like no tomorrow but controlling the ass is a bit hard since you must feel it. |
| Posted by: Randy Feb 17 2011, 05:39 AM |
| ...when you feel very tempted to drop your front tires on some lid-covered gutters on the road while steer at pretty high speed while driving. |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Feb 18 2011, 04:32 AM |
| i get really excited if i found a gutter that you can actually put your car's tire in... |
| Posted by: Randy Feb 18 2011, 04:46 AM |
| Maybe we should look out for em' one of these days and try it. |
| Posted by: DigiBunny Feb 18 2011, 07:27 AM |
| Heck, I do that all the time. But the ones in the city and the like are all too shallow to actually DO anything. The closest I come to a Mizutoshi is on a winding highway ramp that has a slight elevation difference in asphalt from the main road to the side. And even then you don't really feel a whole lot. *Only did that because it was raining, had his tires on backwards, and had little to no sidewall left* |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuke Feb 19 2011, 06:24 PM |
| malaysia's gutter are way too shallow, or just too narrow that you can't put a tire in... but there are some gutters that don't have lid and there's some space beside that, so it kinda look like tsukuba's |
| Posted by: Bumpercam Feb 20 2011, 08:04 PM |
| Do forgive me for asking, but how does gutter-drift/mizutoshi work from a physics viewpoint? Does it have a sound theory or it only work because everyone believes on Bunta who believes it to work (a.k.a. Ork-style)? |

there's a sound and confirmed theory for it; if you look at it from a cross-section view, you notice as the car is inside the gutter, the car will be tilted. and you know as a car drifts, the weight will be distributed to the side opposite of the direction the car is attempting to go to, (e.g if car drifts to the right, weight will all be pushed to left side) as a result, that explains why we can't attack a corner at a ridiculous speed, we will crash to the railings as all weight will be pulling us to the side that's where gutter drift comes in, as your car tilts into the gutter to the direction your car is attempting to drift to, the weight will be distributed to that part, (e.g if car drifts to the right, THIS TIME, weight will all be pushed to right side) that's why we can attack the corner at a faster speed since we are assured that our car won't get pulled off into the railings so easily, PROVIDED you know how to control your car in the gutter (it's pointless if you scrap the gutter while attempting to drift inside it, you will only slow down your car and destroy the tyre and chassis) P.S one very easy way to test this theory, time yourself running down a flight of stairs with sharp corners, a good place would be multi-storey buildings, the first run would be not holding the handrails, then the next run would be with holding the handrails, just try it, and you will know what i mean (^ Д^)/ |

to summarize what kel said, which means gutter run is the best way to overcome g-force on a curve (that's the first part of gutter run). the second part of gutter run which takumi used on ryousuke was using the g-force to his advantage, since the apex of the curve has the highest g-force, it creates a "slingshot" effect when you get out the gutter with perfect timing... |

| you know you are addicted to Initial D when.... for no reason... your feet will move as if they are stepping on the gas and brakes sometimes... there is an urge to move the arms and simulate spinning the steering wheel once in a while... a simulated ID run in your mind or watching an ID video triggers all of the above |

Even during my working hours, trust me...I am charged guilty for that once in a while... Though my boss said I should really go and get a driving license since he knew I love cars like crazy. |

| ....You call the owner of the store with four machines asking if cards came in everyday. Only to get the same reply, no. |

| Lolbump. Not that it's relevant or something. ... when you start to remember that anime with the cute curly brunette main character as Hanasaku Irohazaka. ... when you start rotating your body even before you 'clear' a turn. While walking. Bonus point if it's a 180-degree blind turn. ... when you listen to Eurobeat on the bus and the bus started to drive erratically, you expected the bus to drift at any point. |

| You know u're addicted to ID5 when u want to attack a gutter at the corner when seeing it even though u're only driving 2 wheelies, LOL. |

| Since this section of the forum has become part ID6 as well, thought of just putting some of those here. ID5 1) After having drived for awhile, you feel like your car would drastically slow for no reason. 2) You brake, thinking it would give you a sudden boost of acceleration after you let go. ID6 1) When you start seeing the word "DRIFT" next to your tachometer in your real car. 2) When you start seeing gold and silver holograms on the roads. 3) You try and drift your car with as sharp as a turn as possible because you think it would gain magical speed as you do it. 4) When you think a real AE86 Trueno is one of the most overpowered cars ever to traversed the roads. 5) You push your car harder in rain, because you think water slows it down; and that its just as stable as normal anyways. Both 1) You pretend to hold a steering wheel while sitting casually with family and friends, and turning said wheel sharply all over. 2) You curse after hitting the wall while driving in real life, because it made you lose a few seconds rather than because your car got dented. 3) Your wondering what happened to your digital white speedometer as you drive your car. 4) When your try to float over gutters by driving on them at a speed of over 80 km/h. 5) If someone is blocking you on the road at night and you want to pass him, you close your lights. 6) When you start thinking that all manuals are sequential shifts with no clutches. 7) You drive in a cross-lane lining in when you approach road turns (this one actually happened to me; its become a bad habit  ). |

| - when you approach a corner, u press brake once, turn, and then accelerate immediately hoping that your car will swing at a sharp corner it happened to me once when going down the 1u carpark from 5th floor.. after playing for 2-3 hours .. almost bang the wall. |

| Good heavens i dun own a car, but when i taking cab, i half expect the drivers to stat burning tyres and turn hairpins. My mp3 plays nothing but eurobeat nowadays, man my wifey hates it but you see her face she know she cant say anything but tolerate |

Yes, OU 5th floor carpark is always empty on weekdays. Which makes for fun driving through and creative shortcut linings. Fortunately for me, I've always been more of a grip person for safety and non skill reasons. lol |
