Imagine you are driving around you heap of junk 2018 911 RSR and you see the in the showroom of a dealership a new car you don't already have. You've been watching hundreds of ads and doing thousands of laps so you have some GC burning a hole in your pocket and you want something new.

You go into the dealership and look over the new car in the window. It's nice, really nice. The salesman comes over and tells you it's on sale, you just gotta drive it in a few races and you can have it for a little less than new. But... you think... this really isn't the right car for me right now.

You notice a different car, another one you don't have sitting in the back showroom. That looks interesting. The salesman doesn't talk to you about it, you have to visit a website to read about it. You tell the salesman you are interested, he tells you it will cost $20 to get the price and you can then have a chance to buy it - at a discount; but only if you also take it through several races first.

After looking the car over, online, you decide it's still not right for you. The salesman then tells you. I have more cars in the back, you don't already own these, but I can't tell you what they are or how much unless you pay me $40 ($20 x 2) to see just one of them (he decides which one). Sneaky you go online and do some research adn find out not only which cars are back there but that they can only be seen in order, one by one, and it wil lcost you $20 each time you want to see one even if you don't care to buy it just so that you can see the next one, that you may or may not want.

Since you know the list of cars and spot the one you do truly want, you calculate that you'll have to spend $100 just to walk past the cars you aren't interested in so that you can get to the car you do want, then have to race it for a week, lap after lap, before you can buy it at a discount.

Angry but you still want that car, you plonk down $100, jump in the car and start doing the laps. THEN he tells you that you can't do some of the races unless you buy the mandatory upgrades. "But this is a new, top of the line, car. It has every option the factory offers." And he says, yes, but you must purchase these 3rd party race only upgrades so that you can finish the races in order to pay for the car with a slight discount. "But I won't be able to race it much after I get it, maybe just one more round of races like these. After that it'll be a grocery getter sitting in my garage, I don't need those additional upgrades, I just want the base car."

"Sorry - you are stupid and you get what you deserve." - He is, after all, an honest salesman.
