If you're going to spend that kind of money get yourself down to your local trackday and get some real memories. Not this recall bullshit.

I just clamp my wheel to my desk and toss the pedals underneath. What's with the fucking seatbelts in the last pic? That's pretty lame. Honestly, just buy a beater car that's fun to drive. Driving a simple old 2-seater sports car with a manual gearbox on a windy country road is only about 10x more fun than driving an F1 car in a video game, and if you have to buy a souped-up gaming PC and a "racing rig", then they're about the same price.

Lol I just want to play racing games at home. Stop being stupid guys, you know video games to have fun.

The last pic w the seatbelts I'm guessing because you have the option to add motion for that particular seat setup.

That looks pretty sweet minus the side mirrors. How much did that set you back?

So what gpu do you have running that? And are those 144hz monitors or what?

Wow, that one has side view mirrors AND a seatbelt. Do they sell one that has a passenger seat, so that my wife can sit next to me and tell me to slow down because she's getting carsick? It's all about that immersion, bro.

how about a vibrator on the seat that goes up my ass, and a whore to give me road head?

Having a ridiculous racing rig would be sweet, but no way would I ever spend the money or space on such a thing.

Those setups are crazy. Powerwheels for a manchild.

With that money you could buy every homeless kid in IL a nice birthday present...or every mom in Chicago a dildo.

Yup, get a track day (edit - as SteveNK said) or a cheap V6 instead.

Ahhh, I chuckled in this thread.

Why not just use your projector and a steering wheel?

I think karou had a method to keep the pedals from slipping on the floor.

i want a racing setup in the garage. Not sure if i want to go big screen, triple screen, or just VR. I just want one that's comfortable & sturdy. I have a wheel stand already but wanted something more immersive...

I'd assume the only thing he sees in those mirrors are disappointed parents wondering when he'll move out.

I can't stand racing wheels as they're nothing like driving a real fucking car, I learn't the hard way when I bought a G27 and sold it a few weeks later after trying my best to get used to it. Pure frustration that only weirdo's put the time in required to master them and don't even get me started on those fuckin chair setups.
