Not tops. You're getting 10% of what they have. Find someone with 80k and you'll have a nice 800 spot.

yeah, i know but at 11.5 practically no one has that much money. At any rate I swiped 10K from a guy a little while ago, plus I've gotten a few $1K bonuses.

The bonus doesn't come out of their pocket. If you didn't get a bonus but got 10k from the race, that guy was a FRUIT CAKE for walking around with that much money in hand instead of in the bank!

The best thing is when someone is actually online and playing and advancing with you as you milk them. I hit BlitzX probably 10 or 12 times in a half hour because he kept advancing and I kept getting 1 to 3k a pop.

It doesn't really take all that much skill -just the common sense to take lessons as much as possible ;)

When you take piano lessons, can you play on any piano?

nik
To use a shorter answer: Yes. They make all the difference once you try to do class races and everyone's using the same one or two cars.

about the lesson thing, thats what i thought, but then some people were saying "lessons are 40,000 on my car" leading me to believe that they cost more with each car.

lol, nice. Croquet's can almost always own the minis and bugs if you can get pretty straight tracks (MPZee or the drag strip).

Nah, they just get ridiculously expensive the higher up you get. They really do help though, I can often beat cars with better overall stats since my lessons are high.

I was racing another Vodge Diper GTS who had all the Stage3 installs like I did. I beat him in cornered races, but he beat my ass in the drag race. Our cars were identical, but some of my stats beat his and some of his beat some of mine.

142.9

I'm getting there. I've gone up 60 points today. I just noticed how to race more than .1 above me so I'm now racing people who are .9 ahead of me and getting more progress (.3 or .6 per race) instead of .1 per race as far as rank goes. :eek:
