The main goals for my gamesave are to:
1 - Achieve 100% completion
2 - Acquire every prize/bonus vehicle
3 - Acquire every Used Car
3A - Acquire the lowest-milage used vehicles available
3A1 - If a 6.2 mile model is available, purchase it AND the lowest mileage vehicle with more than 6.2 miles on it.
The rules I'm following are:
A - DO NOT transfer data from another game ($, Cars, Licenses, etc.)
B - DO NOT run any races in B-spec mode
C - DO NOT re-enter any races (until 100% complete)
D - DO NOT re-run any missions (until 100% complete)
E - DO NOT sell any cars (until 100% complete)
F - Avoid, as much as possible, making any modifications to a car that can't be undone
G - Use as few cars as possible (keep as many untouched as possible ("--" for the Driven #))
G1 - Of the cars that are used, try to use as many Used Cars as possible
G2 - Avoid, as much as possible, the use of Prize/Bonus Cars
G3 - If a prize/bonus car must be used, try to use one that can be purchased new or awarded repeatedly
G4 - Avoid, as much as possible, the use of New Cars
H - Get all gold License Test times
I - Win all Races
J - Clear all Missions
K - Score as many A-spec points as possible, given the above
Rule H is taken care of by Goal 2, since there are several Bonus Cars that can only be acquired by getting all-gold License Times.
Rules I & J are taken care of by Goal1, since this must be done to get 100%.
Rule K... It's been 3 years since the release of this game, and the higest A-spec total anyone has reported is around 111800. This includes the Driving Missions and the Family Cup (which I won't be doing). I'm prioritizing using as few vehicles as possible, so there might be more than a few races where my A-spec point yield drops considerably. However, whenever and wherever I can, I'll be going for 200-pointers.
Rule G... One thing I want is to have as many of the available Cars with the lowest mileage kept in the best condition possible. For Used Cars, the condition is the same whether they have 9000 or 590000 miles (9000 miles seems to be the cutoff for power loss and chassis rigidity).
Rule G4... As of now, there are potentially 2 cars I'll be buying & using, that I don't really have to buy. The 2001 VW Lupo GTI will be used for the VW Lupo Cup, as well as the VW GTI Cup. Alternatively, I could use the Lupo1.4 awarded for the B License, but I'd still have to buy (and use) another VW GTI. There are 3 2003 Mazda RX-8 models that I'm considering using. I could use one of the RX-8 models that are awarded, but I'd rather keep them undriven. It's a matter of testing to find out which of the 3 are best suited to sweep both the Mazda Club RE and Mazda NR-A RX-8 Cup...
When I'm done, I hope to have a gamesave where I'll be able to drive any ANY car available in the game by going to my Garage or a Showroom, in the best of all conditions available. It will take me beyond 100% to do so, since getting all used cars with the lowest mileage (non-6.2) takes at least 200 weeks.
I'll have more information on the details of the game and how they affect my schedule (licenses, missions, races, purchases). Keep your eyes peeled!
Have A Great Drive!
