You probably wouldn't guess it by talking to one of us, but petrolheads do have the ability to get burnt out on a specific vehicle. It may take a long time, granted, but eventually we'll get bored with our current ride and wish that we had some new iron to tool around with. It's called "Gear Acquisition Syndrome" (GAS), and GAS can be devastatingly expensive if left unchecked.
Thankfully though, the GAS methadone clinic known as Gran Turismo 5 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/gran-turismo-5) is here to keep those urges in check with a title update and several new sets of wheels, all of which become available on December 20. Car Pack 2 will set you back $3.99 and will furnish your ever-growing garage with a 2012 Nissan GT-R Black R35, a 2010 Volkswagen Scirocco R, a 2010 Volkswagen Gold VI R and the 2011 Mini Cooper S. Additionally, anyone who has purchased GT5 DLC in the past will also receive the Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 SP, which is go-kart for some reason.
The (free) 2.02 title update also includes a set of wheels: The recently revealed 2013 Toyota GT-86 (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/30/toyota-gt-86-gt86-tokyo-2011/). Beyond that, the update boasts a slew of interface improvements and even nets you 10 oil change and car wash coupons (in-game, of course). Hopefully this will keep our greasy little mechanic hands busy enough to prevent us from taking out a second mortgage and buying that Thunderbird we've been eyeing.Gallery: Gran Turismo 5 (December DLC) (http://www.joystiq.com/photos/gran-turismo-5-december-dlc/)
