I despise hoarding, or so I thought.

Going into last December, I had close to 7k gc. When the sales came, I upgraded a bunch of hgh end cars, about 12 or 13, and bought the 918 W Spyder - well, it seemed like a good deal :-I. By January, I was down to 2.8k gc, at which point I took a breather, even with the sales these upgrades aren't cheap! Still so much to do.

I don't have any specific completion goals, niether do I aspire to a full garage. There are cars I'll never buy, simply because I don't fancy them. The GSV was one such - even though I've since revised my view, great motor - the Veneeno is another. I only went for GSV out of curiousity, little else to do, and that's how I've ended with over 150 cars, half of which I'd gladly give back. Point is, I'd rather have a smallish garage of cars I love, all fully upgraded. Anyway, with the December sale I was able to own and upgrade (to at least, 75% full) all the cars I like. That'll do for me. Right now, I'm just having fun - stick on a couple of upgrades here and there for WTTT. And if it happens that I don't own the top car, I'll simply make do for a few weeks. Gold has gone back up past 5k.

Hoarding is the name of the game, I think there's a poster with the moniker, Gold Crazed. That says it all. GCs are the disappearing carrot, the monkeys use in snaring us. So when you get some you wanna hold onto it. But you know, it's for spending, nothing else. I know for a fact, that I'll have spent a lot more, a lot quicker without the sales - one, you get a discount; 2, you hold off buying upgrades because you're hoping there's a discount round the corner. Because, trust me, upgrading a car at full cost, and then having a sale show up a few days later is not a nice feeling. This game is cat & mouse. The mice hoard, they have no choice.
