      Any manageable events/races that pay out big? I think I've spent more money on video game cars then Charlie Sheen has spent on hookers
      There are but they are in the Expert series and I'm assuming you haven't gotten that far yet.

            Just unlocked them... wow... I'm making a ton of money on the seasonal events right now. I just go for at least 2nd place. If you buy the car needed for them and tune it to the specifications than you still net well over 100,000 credits in almost all of them just for 2nd place. I finished first in the Mini Cooper, 2nd in SS5, 2nd in the '06 Mustang, 2nd in the RX-7 and I'm about to do the Ford Focus race now. It's a much better investment then I thought it would be.

            I'm getting the hang of tuning much better by just playing around with it. Still looking for the '03 Audi S4 tho Got the '98 at least

                            The 2nd round of Bonus Events is much more of a challenge imo.

                            I still have yet to Gold the RX-7, Focus, and NASCAR, but I can see doing them all except the Focus one. Not sure wtf to do on that one.

                            The NASCAR one I've only gotten 5th in one try, but it definitely feels doable if I could keep the car on the track for 2 laps :laugh:

                            Oh, and I had to go buy another NASCAR because my Juan Montoya one was over the HP limit

                              I bought a NASCAR, it said 824 HP and limit was 850... so I figured Oil Change since it was the only HP raising thing available...apparently now it has a rising 864... I tried to work it off in NASCAR races... only to see it go up in HP to 866 then 867... Now I'm pissed and had to turn off the game lol The Ford Focus one I pretty easily got 2nd, but 1st place beat me by just enough that I didn't want to try again lol
