I have 18 mil in the bank and I don't know how many cars. I'll probably run the Miata races again then go shopping - still don't know what I'll pick up after the FAP Peugeot. Open to suggestions.
I'm thinking about the Audi LeMans car? It's a bit slower than the Peugot (at least in stock PP) but i'm thinking another lemans car with a modeled cockpit could be cool.

Yep - that's my grinder setup. My best time is 3:25.2!

So I got the penniless trophy after hitting 20 million then buying those cars above. I started selling off the hundreds of shitboxes I accumulated on my way to 1000 - after selling 500 standard cars (mixes of all kinds of stuff), I made about 5 million. I expect after I sell another 200 or so (I'm only keeping cars I really like and/or will race), I'll have another 2-3 million.

If there is a special "standard" car you're looking for, let me know in GT5 (send a message in the profile). I have dupes of a bunch of cool cars that I'd be willing to trade.

Currently level 38,5 in A-spec. Taking quite a long time to level up and I just don't have the motivation to do endurance races without being able to save during races. I currently own over 800 different cars and found out you can now collect around 700 helmets and 700 racing suits aswell.

If anyone has a color 30 helmet and suit, I'd gladly trade whatever you're looking for. I'm also a fan of color 18 stuff.

Pelder - I hear that a future version will let you save mid-race on the endurance races. I'm waiting for that update to do the ones longer than 4 hours... I'm also waiting for when you can change wheels on standard cars and/or get them bumped to premium level. Finally, can we have some DLC please!!!!! A godsend would be a Porsche package - I'd gladly pay $20 for a pack of 20 Porsches...

I have a color 30 helmet, it's the Chopper one. I also heard about the update on GTPlanet, but it seems to be taking quite a while. The thing I would really like to be implented in GT5 is a livery creator.

If you'd like to add me - I'm AssadUSMC on PSN. If you need any helmets, cars, etc., let me know. A livery editor would be great - even if it was just pre-loaded "skins" based on historical livery (Gulf, Martini, etc.).

I'll add you later today and send you the helmet, have you got any of the Checkered racing overalls? I like them a lot.
