Spend you freaking gold, buddy, buy cars, fully upgrade and enjoy the game 'stead of book-keeping.

Not all of us have had 2 R8's in the driveway...

That being said, I do agree that a strategy of amassing gold only has a point if you are going to spend the gold on the cars so you can enjoy the game.

Otherwise you are playing a different game.

Fair point.However,not sure if it would be prudent to blow away my balance by picking up cars,that are on top of my wishlist,at their list price.

I did mention about having started RR3 just in Aug last year.Managed to pick up some top picks from FBs since then.As for the ones like F14 T,Sesto,Group C LMPs,Porsche Weissach Package,EC 2015 LMPs,GTE-LM cars like 488 GTE,Ford,C7.R;they haven't featured in any events since.Even if I can pick up the 488 GTE/Ford GTLM at 650GC a pop, or the all 3 Group C LMPs at 800GC a pop,why would I dump that amount,when there's no rush either for a full garage or for 100% series completion within a finite time period?

I've got no illusions that the cars just mentioned are not a great proposition from a ROI perspective.Will eventually get them to enjoy the game no doubt,but only when a decent (40-50% off) bargain comes along. Would've caved to impulsive spending and picked up the Nismo at 950GC (with zero upgrades) and not looked like a hoarder.Then again,patience paid off..now I intend to pick up both the Nismo & Porsche 919 '15 Hybrid and FU them BOTH for 1916 GC next week.And open EC,reach the rolling start 10 lapper and make the most of the game to the full extent! Patience also paid off when the ONE:1,FXX K & Centenario featured in recent flashbacks and I got them all,even FU the FXX K immediately! Not like I was twiddling my thumbs in the meanwhile,cause I still relish the occasional EK 10 lapper with the TSO40 or complete all LTS,SEs & FBs.

If only Coin Dozer would've made all that possible..
