Has the Need for Speed games changed your life?

Since NFS Underground (and The Fast and the Furious) I've always dreamed of having a sports coupe. After passing my test two years ago, I've been saving up for a Silvia or RX7.

I'm hope to soon buy a Mazda RX7, I'm just lookin' for the right car.

Anyone else with a story to tell?

p.s. having OCD doesn't help, I just have to buy this car.

Hmm, not yet for me, I guess. I think the more I play it the more my Dad won't allow me to drive. Haha! I get really addicted to NFS, really.

Made me more interested in cars in general. Now most of the FPS games are boring because i love racing games ( Cars only! )

@ viper16: There's not even a Silvia in any of the recent NFS games.

NFS hasn't changed my life other than making my wallet a little lighter for no good reason.

Maybe a better topic would be, Has nfsunlimited.net changed your life? I'll go start it right now, as long as the mods are okay with it. Here's the link: http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewtopic.php?t=14605

It hasn't got any influence on my life at all lol.

Post by **Morty** » 01 Jun 2007, 01:21

Well, I started playing it in 1996, when I was 12, so it's pretty much been part of my entire life. So I won't say it's changed my life, it has rather shaped my life

Honestly...it did. When I came to Canada in 1998, NFS II was the first game I played here and it was one of the best games I've ever played during my lifetime (at that time). Note that my knowledge of games was very limited and before this, I only played C&C: Red Alert, Dune, and Formula 1 Championship.

it has for me because it got me intrested in games and cars so i took my craving for more car games and went to forza. From there I learned alot about cars, so when im walking down the street now I see a little ricer or something and I think: 'Wow, he shouldve bought a Big Mac instead of that $2 exhaust'

Made me more interested in cars, which got me into Pixel Cars, which consumes my life.

i totally agree with you laddy... people who can't handle the fact that its only a game shoudn't play it!

SRStingray69 · Post by **SRStingray69** » 17 Jun 2007, 22:50

I agree its just a game. If I make it more than that I lose wife,

And I was already into cars, prob from Grand Turismo. Before that they were just a box with some seats, 4 wheels and an engine LOL!

I was in to cars quite a while before I played Nfs but I suppose you could say it has fueled the fire! I think Gran turismo was more of an inspiration to me making me want to learn the technical aspects of cars and performance modification.. Just remember after all it is just a game!

EuroCable · Post by **EuroCable** » 21 Jun 2007, 08:40

Hmmm Not really. But i know more about cars
