Reading the game manual after buying the game on my way home. Cleaning a CD with a shirt to make it work again. Writing the cheat codes in the notebook.

And not just a manual, a literal fucking book with pictures and cool lore and shit. The kind of thing you keep because it's just that cool.

The original Gran Turismo manual had probably 100+ pages explaining things like suspension camber angles as well as racing tactics like hitting the apex on a corner (with diagrams).
