I couldn’t agree more. Like you, I’m an average driver (193), and reached the same conclusions after upgrading to 333333: I just wasn’t having fun in the SE, or the car. The harder events were more tedious than interesting or exciting. I don’t think it’s necessarily harder/rigged/gold-thirsty than other special events, but the story, the silly Ahmed games, and really arbitrary venues and requirements just sucked the fun out of it.

Yeah, blowing that much gold on this crap car, only to walk away is hard. But in the past I learned more valuable lessons from these misadventures. I think I will do a backup next time I start an SE, since they seem to get worse with time.
