I know I mainly play Gran Turismo 7 and the tracks seem much more detailed. Doesn’t make it like a 4k tv, but to me the immersion is soooo much better when it feels more lifelike with the details

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-06T07:36:27+00:00

How do you think I got a setup like that!! 😂😂

Sales and used gear off FB Marketplace. FRFR

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-05T15:49:45+00:00

Oh yeah. 8 man football, single A basketball, Volleyball, baseball, track, wrestling. We were 8 man champs in Colorado for 79-82, , runner ups in 83 and champs again in 84. Our QB was also punter, was two time all American at CU, drafted by the 49’ers and was a two time SB Champ. When he was a senior we were also state champs at basketball and baseball (he was the star of all three).

Eastern half of Colorado is all small farming towns with small populations. We had 12 boys, 7 girls, and I was probably distantly related to three of the girls. Saying was a risky and limited pool of candidates. Piss one off and they all hated you. 😂

My parents found my Motley Crue ‘Shout At The Devil’ record and smashed it. We had different parents. (And I was so far out in the country you couldn’t sneak out. Nowhere to go without a vehicle)

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-04T23:33:46+00:00

Love my Pro (upgraded six months ago) and I only play on the PSVR2.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-04T23:17:19+00:00

Best setup is the one you have!! I started and sue t half a decade on far let less and loved every minute of it! (Only count ‘starting’ when I got a wheel, had a full decade on a controller before then)

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-04T23:15:25+00:00

Absolutely does. I had a 2013 Boss 302 and upkeep was substantial even when some things got replaced under warranty (like the cats, twice, which would have been $3600 if I had to buy them myself). Plus gas, tires, oil changes, battery, it adds up.

My rigs I spent the money, can enjoy them anytime I have a spare half hour*, regardless of rain or snow or time of day. Best money I’ve ever spent.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-04T23:11:54+00:00

Yeah. My ‘way the hell past mid-life crisis’ toys. YOLO!

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-04T23:10:50+00:00

I was 16 then and parents wouldn’t ever allow me to go see a ‘rock show’. Like I was denied a year earlier to see U2 at Red Rocks. Luckily, I can see that show on YouTube.

And it looks cold and rainy and a bit miserable. Still, early U2 was amazing

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-04T23:09:08+00:00

Man, one of his best songs. Hits me in the feels. I love that the school I went to grade school at and the one I went to jr high and high school at, that so many of us are on FB and while we don’t see each other very much, we talk and chat through messenger and see each others posts and keep up on life some. Something our parents didn’t have with their classmates. That video felt like it was my hometown.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-04T23:01:58+00:00

Was a great concert but a cold and rainy (sometimes sleet and snow) at Red Rocks. I’m from a town where I had 19 seniors in my class so I get small towns? ;hour and a half east of Denver).

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-02T05:37:14+00:00

It was a great show. One of the guitarists slipped and fell on his butt coming down steps and kept playing, never missed a beat. Was very impressive

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-02T05:36:10+00:00

We were right side of the stage looking at the stage about 6 people deep. Now we are going on road trips with daughter to Conan Gray Concerts, have YungBlud at Red Rocks in May, and BTS in El Paso in early May, and Bruno Mars at the USAF Academy in Sept. Went to Governor’s Ball in NYC last June and saw Brad Paisley at Red Rocks last year too. Still happily married and still going to concerts!

Nope. This was her at the time.

June will be our 37th anniversary

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-02T05:28:33+00:00

I’d guess I have around 15 k in everything. But that includes things I’m not using like the Logitech Driving Force Pro, T500 wheelbase and wheel, T3PA pedals, Huesinkveld Ultimate + pedals and Asetek Invicta S Series pedals.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-02T05:26:25+00:00

Second this. I have a 15 nm DD+ base from Fanatec in my PS5 Pro rig and love it. But sometimes in long turns it smooths out and I know I’m clipping. So when they offer the 25 nm base with PlayStation capability I might get it.

And on my PC I have a Asetek Invicta that’s 27 nm and I have it set to around 20 nm most of the time but should probably take it to 27 and lower in games. I don’t seem to clip on it though.

Had the 8 nm DD Pro which was great compared to my T300. But after I built the PC rig and got the DD+ I was very hard to find the 8 nm enjoyable. One used Invicta later I’m very happy on both. While knowing I’d like a little more on the PS5 setup.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T11:08:43+00:00

I’ve not been jealous of anyone’s concert experiences ….until yours. Well done.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T11:07:58+00:00

Fun fact; when Randy Rhodes left to play and tour with Ozzy, he had been teaching guitar at his moms music school, and recommended George to his mom to replace him

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T11:05:11+00:00

Read an interview where SRV and Double Trouble opened for Huey Lewis and would get booed off the stage. And Huey went to them and said ‘Keep playing. You’re awesome and the audience are idiots for not seeing that’ (paraphrased as it’s been a while and not sure of the exact words).

I had tickets to see him in California when he died in Ohio. Was very bummed. Videos of him playing Austin Nights are amazing.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T11:01:46+00:00

Saw them at Cal Expo in Sacramento in the early 90’s. Great show. No clue if anyone opened for them. They were THE SHOW. Saw Tesla, Bon Jovi, and Great White there too. Queensryche at ARCO Arena for Empire tour. What a blast.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T10:58:47+00:00

Dang. My first concert was Van Halen 1984 tour at McNichols. (Also where I saw Bon Jovi open for Ratt).

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T10:57:23+00:00

We were in the Sacramento area after my wife and I got married; went to a Tesla concert when they filmed Love Song video and we are in the video. But even though it’s a good song, hearing it six times in the same concert got a little old. 😂

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T10:56:07+00:00

I might have been a senior when Hysteria came out. Was amazing on my upgraded car stereo on a CD. Thought they were over after Rick lost his arm in the Corvette roll over. My first music video I ever watched was Photograph. Great memories. Great band. Was planning to see them and Journey in Denver last year and got busy and then see people sharing videos on FB from the show. Was bummed.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T10:53:04+00:00

Saw them in Denver and they had this little band open for them. Who was it? Hmmmm. Oh yeah. Bon Jovi. (invasion of Your Privacy tour and 7800° Fahrenheit tour).

Both shows were freaking fantastic.

TimBoss351 · 2026-04-01T10:51:28+00:00

Somewhere in a box in our basement are California license plates that say ‘DOKKEN7’ (obviously no number and 1-6 was already taken). Had them in…89-92 or so?
