You wait with baited foot for the stoplight to turn green, in anticipation of getting the best launch and maintaining your position....

Oh wait... I did that before LFS too.....

Also, if you refuel at a full serve, when the gas is all pumped you forget to pay and lay a patch leaving the gas station so you don't lose any ground....

Instead of adjusting your rearview mirror with your hand like most humans, you're searching for the "Mirror Offset Slider" on the dash

You look to the apex ahead of the car(s) in front of you to line up a passing trajectory, across all lanes.
You do a double take when the light goes green and traffic doesn't pile up at the first turn in the road.
Driving over soft sidewalks, the suspension just sucks it up.
You're still thinking of tire life in minutes, not months.

Depends on how you pronounce scan... but the correct answer is much like "scorn", without pronouncing the r.

Hey... My dad owns a GM Omega (250hp), auto gear, but has the option of the paddles. And damn, that is super fun (I have an Opel Astra, so going from my 116hp to those 250hp WITH paddles is really fun! lol)

hmmm id love if that was possible in real life ... and maybe those setups should come with an explanation that instead of popular belief the gaspedal actually is the one to the right and not the one in the middle

I usually do that but since I am not a drifter I usually spin... :tilt:

And pressing t while using those messengers. My friends just can't get it.

I had to come up with something too:
You you have been playing LFS too much when you calculate your real car fuel loads in %s...

And I just a few days ago invented a new joke by myself. Probably the first time but let's not go there... So far no one has laughed, but this thread is just making me to write here: What similar do a UF1 and a russian judge have? - they are both simple and cheap. Yeah, I know :razz: :shrug: :weeping:

PS: If you are from Russia you can replace that russian judge with a swedish one :D

You know you play LFS too much when...
... You write about it in an assignment..
... You have pictures of your skin stuck to your uni folder.
... Your wallpaper on your lab system is LFS.
... You got banned from a lab for installing and playing LFS.
... You teach your parents how to threshold break.

Errrmm... that'll do me =p

Your portfolio is full of skins, phtoshopped screenshots, renders and film shorts made from edited replays, instead of all the stuff that your uni lecturers think you should be doing.

You get offered the chance to show your work on a full sized cinema screen think "yeah it's gotta be about LFS 'cos that would just be cool, and everyone will be able to relate to it.

- You try and double click the stereo controls on the steering wheel.

- You check the SatNav for a list of players.

- You wonder when real world physics became so boring.

- You start working out the slipstream fuel saving from the car you are tailgating.

- Realising you can't bump draft a Mercedes in a Daewoo Lanos.

- There's no space bar in real life when you've parked a BMW on its roof . . .

Forgot the yelling "Blue Flag!! Move over!!" to the folks in front of you, driving, walking, whatever. I actually did this to a guy at work on a forktruck. He had the crappy slow one. Must have just been the plain FZ50 forktruck while I had the FZR forktruck. I was stuck behind him and was held up a complete lap back to the shipping department!

When you hold your racing line on the road and wonder why people look at you funny when you go out wide on entry then hit the appex finaly going out wide on the exit again (mounting the curbs :razz: ) an a multilane road or roundabout :scratchch

When you look for the custom view option in the car owners manual so you can drive from a central position :)

Nobody does that on roundabouts, and they are soo slow! I always think "take the racing line noob!"

When you start to think 'what speed/gear can i take this corner' rather than 'ooh, im over the speed limit' :schwitz:

Unless you don't like it =p I think that it's so degrading to get a women to do that, mostly because I wouldn't want dicksnot anywhere near my mouth.

When you start to build your cockpit , mmm buy a playseat ... :scratchch

When you has got more than 2 wheels . XD :D

When you think to build your our pedals/shifter.

When is impossible when drive your every days car, go slowly.

When try to do things in real life like lfs to validate Scawen Phisics engine :pillepall, and yeees !! and you smile.

When you have your 1st gear engaged and your left foot waiting green light, while with right foot you warm your engine ,from the first time you arrive at the traffic light line.

When Mondays (Lfs - Spain League race day (every week) ) , any friend calls you because is your race day and they know that you can go out because you need to warm up and find pit stop strategic for the race.
