Call yourself a car lover? Then you probably have a soft spot for Top Gear (British version), the best car enthusiasts show ever.

Gran Turismo 5 Staying Up North For Christmas. Another Delay Rumored To be in the Works.

Gran Turismo 5 Staying Up North For Christmas.  Another Delay Rumored To be in the Works.

Fans of the seemingly vapor-ware Gran Tursimo 5 will want to take a seat if they’re envisioning a holiday full of GT5 racing. It appears that GT5 may not make it in time for the end of year celebrations. Shocking, I know… The bad news comes by way of online retailers whom are showing an “In Stock” game, yet when actually clicking through and trying to purchase it, a pre-order button is the only thing vying for your attention. Further disappointing...

Since Forza 2 came onto the scene, I’ve largely ignored Gran Turismo (any version) mainly due to the damage modeling and more precise physics in Forza. There’s something about GT’s 200mph wall bouncing that just isn’t very…real. However, GT 5 is changing all of that. The damage modeling that...

If there’s one thing Ferrari owners generally have copious amounts of, it’s money. Lots of it. So much so, they’re willing to spend ridiculously overpriced amounts for anything with a Ferrari logo on it. I can’t judge though. I’d probably have a similar bit of loyalty myself if I was giving a particular company hundreds of thousands of dollars too. Nevertheless, I’m sure plenty of Ferrari owners have dreamt of a morning in which they...
