My GT6 Garage

I am having another intermission on this blog, that is, I am going to post something that is not carspotting per se... but still related to it.

The reason is I have started playing Gran Turismo 6, and only about 2 years after it came out. I also have a GT1 copy for PS1 (and it too), GT4 of PS2 and the much maligned GT5 on PS3.

Anyway I am going to post cars that I will acquire (buy or win) in the game. I bought the game about a couple weeks ago (with a discount) and it's version 1.00 by the way, I believe there is a shortcut in some race somewhere.

Of course, I won't be able to post all cars in the game - there are over 1,000. I won't even be able to post all the cars that I'll have in my in-game garage - there still could be too many of those.

So only "selected" cars will be posted, and by "selected" I mean nothing like exotics or super cars but (i) cars that I spotted in real life and have recorded on this blog and (ii) cars that I like for some reason and could realistically drive in everyday humdrum life -- mostly "daily drivers", "run of the mill" kind of cars. There aren't many of those in GT6 but there are some.

The first car I got was the Honda Fit RS '10 (sold as the Honda Jazz outside of North America) but this choice was forced by the game so no pictures of this one, and I am not much into Hondas, truth to tell. 

The second car I got for winning the Novice series and the car is the Renault Clio R.S. 2011.

Next, Toyota Bb 1.5Z X Version 2000. The first car I bought spending my (not so) hard earned Cr. 15,000 on it. Even won a couple races with it. Although it is not the most obvious car to get if you want to win races.

Reason I bought it is because it is already on the blog: Toyota bB. 

As you can see I am hoping to use the GT6 photo feature to illustrate some of the posts on this blog. Sort of provide another set of pictures to accompany my real-life car spots.

Next car is the 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. Bought it because it is already on the blog - Chrysler Crossfire. Also bought it because it is an FR car and I needed an FR car anyway to beat the FR challenge in the National B series. Which I did.

No respectte for Corvette!

Chrysler Crossflyer!

The 3rd car from my GT6 garage that gets a mention here is the 1968 VW Karmann Ghia Coupe (Type-1).

And again it is so honored because it is already on this blog - Karmann Ghia.

I think I finally got the knack (whatever) of making pictures in GT6.

In terms of winning races stock, just forget it.

That was the only time I actually overtook somebody.

And it didn't last long.

The white thing did something like a pit maneuver and threw me into the wall.

Here's another one from my GT6 garage.

A 2004-06 4th Gen Pontiac GTO 5.7

Because subdued, nondescript and even dated looks coupled with huge power and performance potency.

 Jalopnik says it is a future classic.

Black may be not the best color to shoot GT6 cars in.

Won every race I entered it.

Pictures of a Mazda from my GT6 garage: Mazda efini RX Type R (FD) 1991

Mazda efini RX Type R (FD) 1991 is the third generation of Mazda RX-7.

In production from 1991 to 2002.

The GT6 camera loves this li'l red Mazda.

 It is a Premium car in the game so you can even peek into the salon.

Hey, what are you doing in there?

Now with some race-related damage.

A major accident.

This post is now getting too big and picture-heavy, so for further entries in my GT6 Garage please check the GT6 label.
