I largely agree with JM as well.

I've been able to win just about every new car in every SE, LTS, and Gauntlet ever offered in this game over the years, and I've managed to do it while spending less than $50 in real money over nearly 6years of gameplay. Currently, I'm sitting at 236/246 cars, with 3 left to win from this update, 3 left to buy, and 4 which were deleted NASCAR/Supercars.

I have missed some cars over the years, but more often than not, it's been due to a lack of time to play the event due to real world obligations, not a lack of GC or R$.

For me, I just keep up with daily check-ins, I watch enough ads for 10GC/day (as often as I can, but occasionally I miss it), I farm the 10 lappers when there's a Fame Bonus day, I play OMP (usually just to 10-12GC as it's too time-consuming for much else), I play WTTT (usually I'm Group C or D, never once been B or higher), I also complete career series as I have time (though with constant LTS's, that time is limited usually). All told I play about 1hr or so each day on average, not insignificant, but also not overwhelming IMO.

While I rarely have much "extra" GC available, I have still managed to earn enough to obtain most every new car that's been released over the years. I generally also tend to complete the LTS's for existing cars as well, though I skip those with more regularity if my GC stash dictates (like the current C-X75 R3 LTS). I also generally tend to skip most every upgrade sale offered as I usually don't have the spare GC to spend while still earning the new cars.

I can concur that "treading water" in each update (and even being GC-positive, depending on your goals), is certainly possible if you take advantage of all the ways FM allows us to earn GC and R$. It's just a matter of how much time you want to devote, and what your goals are. Though, I will of course say that having a nearly complete garage makes this much easier as there are fewer cars left I need to purchase outside of new cars being released.

All told, I still have numerous complaints about many aspects of the game, but this comment was in response to Johnny Mueller's comments specifically.
