Just beat it in the Mini! I don't know how to find my tune's share code but it's "4 on Floor" by TayterSwift.

This tune can be driven flat out for petty much the whole series. They'll pull away from you in the second and third race but you'll make up for it when you basically never brake for a turn except maybe twice.

Edit: Had to search my own name wtf, but it's 174 503 103
Thanks, this helped me beat the volcano track, but I was still getting stomped on the eastern track. That one seems to be really random - sometimes the AI loses no time for water or jumps, and you just can't catch them, even running flat out for the entire run.

I ended up buying a dirt cheap X5 at auction and won the race completely stock, but I think it was more lucky RNG than anything.

I decided to not give a gently caress about seasonal objectives. Just a tool of the man to hold you down and take away from your FREEDOM

That's fine, of course, but the civic, for example, is selling for nearly 10 mil right now, mine sold within seconds, and if you hang on to it, it will eventually be a 20 mil car. In fact, if you're lucky enough to be a master tuner or painter, you CAN sell them for 20 mil, and they are all selling for that price.

Now, if you're a dirty glitcher, if you took advantage of the glitches and things, well 10 mil is nothing really. But if you're an idiot like me who avoided glitches, well 10 mil is a decent chunk of change. And Forza points are easyish to come by, (remember to buy the house) that you'll be making 10-20 mil per season just from the seasonal stuff every week.

Besides, 100% ing all the seasonal objectives takes a couple of hours a week. I can't imagine why you wouldn't do them. Credits and cars wise, I don't think there's anything more rewarding in the game than the seasonal playlist.

I barely had any time to get the car. I’m hanging on to it for a while. Plus I love the CRX.

Maybe next season I’ll actually pay attention and get things done without waiting until the last minute.

The NSX-R GT is an accolade award so i wasn't expecting them to go up that far but they're at $19m. Should have bought a bunch for $1m last week.

A friend whose only upload is the Looney Tunes Roadrunner on the side of a dart got a week ban for it.

Something tells me Playground Games doesn't have all their ducks in a row.

Although he did put it on the dart until they give us the plymouth roadrunner back so maybe he had it coming

e: apparently they banned for offensive license plates too.

I almost, almost asked, "what do you even need money for in this game once you buy all of the houses?"

I don't know if it's because the "dealership" feels kinda sequestered in menus & loading screens or what, but I've only bought 3 or 4 cars in this game so far. While the wheelspins feel a little too crowded with the chance to land on credits, it's given me plenty of cool/fun/race-appropriate cars.

I got a Hoonitruck from a wheelspin last night.

When I saw it, I thought "If I had to design a vehicle for the douchiest dudebro I've ever met, this would be that vehicle" -- but I tried it, and the thing is turning out to be an absolute monster at racking up fast skill points.

I only need 5 more season points to get the second car for Autumn, but I've done all of the events I want to do. It looks like none of the second seasonal reward cars are exclusive to the seasons though?

I think all the hoonigan cars are real special in one way or another. I got the bel air and it's the most absurd burnout car I have. Understeers everywhere until you give it a whiff of the e-brake, then it's good luck keeping the rear end behind the front end.

I should probably fix that with some tuning but it's pretty stupid fun as is.

Just look at it!!! https://gameclips.io/tjiev/e9a7b49a-3657-4571-a093-87fdc5dedfc5
With this car and this technique you will be able to 3-star every drift zone in the game, even the dirt ones (except for 1 of them)!
Just give it full throttle and throw it back and forth, the AWD will keep you on track, it even works with an automatic gearbox, no skill required at all!

That's really cool! Thanks for sharing.

Just from the stock livery and mosquito-fart exhaust, at first glance it seems like something you would have seen on any Friday night, cruising outside the local mall circa 2001 with Crazy Town or Puddle of Mudd blasting from the oversized subwoofer.

Edit: I need literally one more seasonal point, and all of the remaining daily challenges are broken. Won a road race in my '65 Ford Transit van, which seemed to take two hours because the top speed is something like a blistering 39 mph.
