Sage like patience, Spud. That's my takeaway from this post. It's hard to get there but I am slowly working towards it. I used to foolishly spend tokens on events because I wasn't familiar with how they worked/what if I didn't pass test X again.

It was during the Porsche update that I came across this community and your comments about not spending any tokens on that update really inspired me to try and be like that. This after I dropped 3000+ tokens on the 918 EDD (I was desperate, at the time the Lykan Hypersport was my best S class car)

But since that time I have come a long way, I saved up tokens throughout the next few updates (purchased some during sales) and was finally able to get the Vulcan and have finally attained my goal of being decent enough to land in the Champion league a couple times.

I love collecting cars so it's still hard for me to walk away from an event. I try to keep the token spending at a minimum too now. Like when I was struggling with the gate drifts in the Huayra BC R&D (failed them on around 9 QCs) I just paid to save those QCs and moved on. For the Arash R&D I had a day left to finish but the troll level was insane with that event and I wanted to spend the weekend with family so I ended up purchasing proto keys and finishing that out.

I guess my point is, I have come to value my time more and don't mind paying some tokens here or there to "be done with it". Trust me I won't pay the tokens unless I absolutely can't pass a test or I am very pressed for time.

Also, screw MPEs, they are just the worst. I don't go hard mode, just like you, unless it's car that I desperately want.

You know, events use to scare me. What if the credits/toekns/mid-techs I put into this car are gone and I can't pass it. Thankfully that's not a thought anymore thanks to you and the rest of this community's advice and support. Whenever I come across hard tests/goals someone on this community has an answer. It's great. Like your advice for the Porsche 911GT flawless race to just drift all the way after obtaining the KDs. Man that saved so many proto keys/tokens.

Keep doing you. Race on, my friend.
