First time posting, seems appropriate I post about my first car(s)
Cruiser . . . just cause I liked the idea of a 'vette killing retro mom-mobile
. Got it in black for the cool London Hackney cab look. Sadly I bought that with the starting cash so I couldn't even afford the pre-race GT3 Jiffy-Lube. Also I figured out while I was 'peeyish'ing along with the stage 2 turbo (I was so proud to have a peeyish'ing Cruiser) if I had gone for the stage 3 Naturally Aspirated tune up I could get more truck for my buck. Yes, the NA stage 3 option actually squeezes out more pony power than a turbo!
2nd car was the AE86 Trueno Apex, which I shortly dumped as soon as I found out I could put rally tyres on a Cruiser, now I had a Scooby-killing retro mom-mobile.
Then, the worst happened. I left my PS2 on for like 4 days after completing one of the endurance races (It took me that long to recover)
and I saved my race when I got back, it crashed. "No problem", I thought, "it just overheated." so I killed the PS2, let it cool down and re-animated it. "Mwah ha ha! It's ALIVE! ALIVE I tell ya!" (Okay, so not really) and when I tried to enter Proffesional or Endurance it crapped out. Yup, the information got stale over 4 days and the save was corrupted.
Had to start all over again. I should have been sad . . . however, knowing my mistakes, I knew how NOT to race, or manage my 1 man team.
Devoted the pittance of a begining allowance (We really should talk to our sponsers) into getting the licenses. Got all gold (I found that leaving the PS2 on for like 3 days screws up the clock and apparently I did all the tracks in the Licenses section in like 3 or 6 secs.) and grabbed the bonus cars, so technically the Miata was my present game's 1st car . . . I just didn't use it. The first car I actually used was the RX8 and 350Z.
I have since re-created my PT Bruiser, pre-race Jiffy-Lubed, stage 3 NA tuned, with a 2xhorsepower multiplier. And it KICKS ASS!
So thank you for your patience reading this large post and remember, keep four tyres under you and five cars behind you.
