I've rented it again. I'm almost inclined to find a used version of Test Drive Unlimited and complete this game as much as I can. I have progressed much further than my last go-round with this game, even though I had to start a brand new game. Here is an updated overview of my TDU experience.
* I have about 500,000+ Master Points. It means I'm an Expert in the game. I have a beautiful house that holds eight cars. I may move from western Oahu Island to favor a beautiful modern house in eastern Oahu Island that also has an eight-car maximum. There was a mountainous stretch of road in west central Oahu Island that (and I swear) would make one hell of a touge course! I actually got drift crazy running that winding stretch of road. There's actually another one, but where it is fails me. I am even more immersed into the game. Just the culture and living the good life on Oahu Island is just stellar. Good life, great cars, an unmatched experience in ANY game... including the Gran Turismo series.
* The fastest car I have is the Lamborghini Murciélago in a sky blue color. I was torn between a dark blue and a sky blue. I even thought about getting that gold color for the Lambo. Other cars I have... I have a Caterham that I won by completing some series. I re-painted it to Viper Blue. Man, it's a beautiful color for this car! Blue is my color. * One problem with it- it can be unstable to keep together. So that's why I have the Lotus Exige Sport 240R with yellow outside and inside. I need a good E-class car just to stay fresh. I did have a newer Mustang. My new muscle car is a classic Chevy Camaro Z-28. It's my E-Class competitor. * I thought I had the best Noble credits can buy when I had the Noble M12 GTO. Meet the Noble M400. I never realized these Nobles have Ford V6 engines. That's why I was surprised when I was called up to join the Six Shooters Club when I got my Noble. One hell of a V6 car, I'll tell you that! * Most recent car I won was the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. To be honest, I never really liked the Cobra Daytona. Doesn't mean, however that the Shelby built by Texas' own, Caroll Shelby, could make such a wicked car. I'm looking to give this car more performance in TDU to really shine. * I had a tough time looking for cars to sell just to not have my number of cars go over quota. I needed a car that cost more than what I had heading into the dealer, but no more than two cars I wanted to sell. Meet my high-class Aston Martin.
* I'm at 16% complete. I'm thinking more than ever that Test Drive Unlimited really is a "generational leap in racing games since Gran Turismo." Just how immersive the environment is and to amazing everything is put together. I had dislike for this statement at first, but now I have greater apprecation. I'm not extremely hard to be pleased. The whole package is just amazing and enticing. I'm a bit saddened the PS2 version doesn't feature motorcycles. This is still a wonderful experience. I just can't wait to get one of those expensive houses with 10 cars, preferably the one that has some glass roof parts and a little palm tree in the garage (you'll know which one I'm talking about if you visit the very first realtor in the game).
I may end up buying this game used. Such a wonderful experience overall.
I wish i had that F40...and the Audis 
I guess ill be leaving TDU alone for a while. But ill probably get attracted back to this game when i get bored of PS
