Did Video Games Make Us Love Cars IRL | prjct.POD Ep11
In this episode of Project Pod, we explore how video games like Need for Speed Underground, Gran Turismo, Forza Horizon, and even the forgotten Racing Redline helped shape today’s car enthusiast culture. Whether you started wrenching in real life or behind a controller, this one’s for you.
We talk about:
- How early racing games sparked our love for customization and JDM builds
- The underground modding influence of titles like Underground 2 and Initial D
- Why Racing Redline was ahead of its time with bolt-by-bolt building
- The crossover from gaming setups to real-life garage goals
- What’s next for Project Garage: DIY wrap vs. paint, Tundra audio builds, and community car giveaways
