I'm just the opposite. I'm playing through my seasons, slow and steady. In fact, I haven't spent $1 on a car yet. Haven't bought a single car. I've only purchased "automatic upgrades".
I was debating whether to save up to buy that same Shelby Cobra. I've already got about $700,000 credits in the bank. I just hate the idea of spending all that money. I might buy a cheap R1 for about $150,000 instead. I can always save for the Shelby later on.
I checked my "stats" and I'm spending about 4X as much time painting cars as I am racing them! LOL!
