Was in the garage about to select my fully tuned murcielago sv to take some pictures of when my ps3 shut off. YLOD... Looks like I'm out of these competitions for a while. :(
 
I think I have a good idea of the picture I'm going for. Probably won't be edited since I'm photoshop illiterate.

Engh, my a-spec is 20, b-spec significantly higher... that said, the stealth McLaren is a great grinding car up to Expert. Then again, how would anyone know whether anyone did a majority of their grinding in the K-cup with a Fiat 500 or just REALLY likes the '62 Special? Basically, it's open to any car

I'm just hoping people truly do pick the car that has won them the most money whether it be a-spec or b-spec. Just picking your random favorite car kinda takes away from the fun of the theme.
 
Well it was either that or my Gamestop Nascar Camry, suprisingly I could get that thing into the 'hot hatch' races.. . LOL

Yes, but you can't blame people for running with (read: exploiting) a poorly framed theme; like payback, semantics are a b*tch. The contest basically boils down to either one of 7 common grinding cars or the car people just "go" to when they race. Perhaps someone will think a little outside of the box and think about all the modes of play, not just the obvious two.

We'll see who gets to be a smart-*ss and posts a Daihatsu Midget II D... and there's really no way to verify whether they really do just run races with it.

That said, I too hope that people take the theme seriously because I'll be taking it seriously as I am sure, are you and it won't be less fun if people don't take it seriously - only easier (on those who do). I mean, common sense does have its place, right?
 
Hi Guys! Newbie here. Just wanted to try my luck here in this competition LOL Wish me luck! :dopey:

This might not be much, but this car is currently my money maker (and to kill two birds with one stone, it also fits the category, "from the starting line to the first corner")... I'm still stuck at level 11 :(

Final Entry
Nissan GT-R at Tokyo R246

Great, so if I enter I get to take a picture of the 2J. No idea how to make that thing look decent. :lol:

Meh.

that zonda r was taken in photo travel and the rules clearly state no photo travel I believe my good sir.

damn, I had this picture on my HD! Didn´t check the rules clearly enough!

So, I have to go for some races again with my trusty Zonda :)
 
You should make people post a garage picture showing the mileage and races won. At least that way we'll know they've driven the car a little bit.
 
I edited my post! Now I got the car on the track, where it can make money....more and more :)

Btw, the Zonda isn´t my money maker anymore, but it did alot of races and won me a ton of money and cars!
