Anyone else find themselves trying to drive in real life similar to the way they've been driving in GT3??

I know they say video games can be bad for you but I didn't realise they meant this. Chucking my FR Volvo round bends, driving on racing lines and generally not obeying the law is gonna wind me up in a whole heap of trouble (if I live that long!).

I think they should put a warning on this game. Or maybe 20-somethings who have their own cars shouldn't be playing it in the first place...... ;-D

My car is featured in GT3, so I drive like that anyway. Except it won't bounce of other cars or roadside objects without sustaining damage.

I really, really want to take my Civic 1.6 round an airfield but I can't afford the tyres!

I know what you mean. I have to pick my girlfriend up from work quite late most nights. I get in at 5pm have some food, put on GT3 about 8pm and play til about 11pm when I go to pick her up.

The road from my flat to her work is always quiet at that time of nite and full of bends. Problem is I still have my GT3 head on! I'm convinced I'm driving more efficiently/controlled/professionally but she always has the look of fear on her face by the time I get home!

I like that phrase 'the look of fear on her face'

My girlfriend is learning to drive so we both have reason to be terrified

gt3 will always be really bad for your health as it is just a great game and everyone that plays it might try and whell spin there cars when starting there own cars and tryin to knock other road users off the road in attempt just to see them flip over!

I dont think that GT3 is bad for your health.
Ive managed to loose weight, see less of my girlfriend, spend more time off work, add more colour under my eyes, strengthen the skin on my thumbs, increase my driving skills and to put the cherry on the cake......my boring old round eyes are now square!
