I would say FM offered upgrade sales to get us to spend our hard earned gold. Well it's working... and it's not.

Sure we spend a lot of $R in the process, but many of us have piles of $R. When you get right down to it, gold is what is most coveted in this game.

For the longest time I would try to win cars with $R only. Then I got all cars, built up a good gold surplus and had seemingly unlimited $R. At that point I started upgrading cars to what was needed for career completion before I had won them. This made the special events much easier and much more relaxing. So I was spending gold more regularly.

Well now I am right back to trying to win with just $R or as little gold as is needed. I don't want to spend full price on upgrades when they MIGHT go on sale. How long will I wait?? I don't know. So far I have the Lotus Type 125, the new Ford & Ferrari Le Mans cars and the Jag F-type SVR in wait. Also the Ariel Atom V8 in the Exclusive series, even though it doesn't count for 100% completion. I have over 6,000 gold so I could do it... but I want a sale!

Anyone else just sitting there on their godl pile, waiting for deals??
