Absolute beginners guide when stuck off line

[Major Rash]

I trust you have enjoyed this session. Rather than a pure headlong rush to level 24 and maximum money, as you now are getting comfortable with GT5 and your progression through it, I've tried to introduce you to some of the finer details, particularly different handling of different cars, and how you can substantially alter the driving feel of a car. Hopefully you will start experimenting for yourself.

Gonna miss these my friend, have enjoyed reading your uptake on the races. I am going to start GT5 all over again on another account and put into practice your therories. Currently lvl 38 A & 40 B so will be fun to start from beginning again. 👍

You should be buying a miata or mini for a first car.

IIRC there are only 6 vehicles you need to buy to complete the game, those are 2 of them.

others include:
FGT
Truck
Lamborghini
etc

I don't think you can buy the Mini,I presume you mean the S from the new car dealership , with the money the game first gives you.I could be wrong though...

Nice guide but you may want to include a note that says something like the following for when your buying your first car if people are super interested in trophies. I got really lucky and ended up having an even amount later in the game and was able to get the "Penniless" trophy but for starters this could be useful.

Dealerships -> Mazda -> Eunos Roadster J-Limited (NA) '91 - 19,000
Tuning Shop -> Engine -> Sports ECU - 1,000

Later in the game, you can get this trophy when you buy your first 20,000,000 cr car, since this is the maximum amount of cr you can have.

But to be fair, the Eunos with the sports ECU isn't a bad choice for a starter car in any case.
