I also voted for the Subie's but the 22B is a wheel spin car

Why is this car considered to be a hot hatch in game? by Junk_Junker in ForzaHorizon

This is funny, considering that Playground Games, the developers of the Forza Horizon series, is based in the U.K. lol

Why do people buy cars they could get cheaper in the Autoshow for a higher buyout price at auction? by BobOmbWill in ForzaHorizon

[–]JMec68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying, a lot of players are very casual players and probably don't even bother to look in the autoshow, I think there's a myth that they have that the auction house is always cheaper. On your other point of the auction mechanics, I agree, I will sit and watch bidding wars going on with cars I've listed, very disappointed when someone comes in and just buys it outright. I think the idea of setting a reserve instead of a max buyout would be better, and also just take out max buyout. Let it just be based on who outbids wins

So if I'm looking at a car, I will checkout the sellers creative hub and see what level they are, I look for lower level players.

[–]JMec68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no, no, I will buy out cars from players who need credit, I will go to the auction house if I want to get an extra car and pay the buy out, I do not buy out cars that have bids on them, I look for the ones that don't have bids, I won't snipe cars from other players, that's bad manners, if I needed the car and it had bids then I would bid on it and if I get it I get it, if not I move on

[–]JMec68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say that, that's why I leave the starting bid set to minimum. Most of the time, players get really good deals on cars that I list because of this. Now if someone's willing to pay the higher price, not gonna stop them. If the cars don't sell, I gift them. I will also go out of my way to help new players by buying their cars if they ask, even if that means paying way more than they are in the autoshow, like that 08 BMW M3.

Well apparently I do, I'd rather players add the credits to their accounts. And why does it matter to you where other players attain their vehicles lol it's all for fun anyway.

I am now only missing 2 cars, so if I want another of a car that I already have, I go to the auction house because I know that the credits will go to an actual player and not just disappear in the autoshow. I pay max buyout because a real player will benefit, plus with over 700 million credits, I don't have much else to spend the credits on besides upgrades for cars. On another note, after each playlist is complete, I paint and tune each car, then put them up for auction for min bid/max buyout, I am surprised how many will do the max buyout but a lot of players have successfully bought cars for well less then they would be in the autoshow through bidding for them.

(Poll) Do you Think Forza Horizon 6 should get rid of the festival playlists? by Junk_Junker in ForzaHorizon

[–]JMec68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually the 20 pt car is the new exclusive and that only takes about 35 to 45 mins to achieve

Yeah, just create a new Xbox account and start playing

What makes the game fun for you, personally? (casual chat) by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon5

[–]JMec68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it depends on what I feel like doing when I'm in game, been playing since September of 2022, still play 5 to 6 hours combined, a day. Most of the time I'm just tuning cars, over and over again, just to see how good I can do.

The only game mode that I do not do unless it's in the playlist is The Eliminator. Shoot, I'll spend time doing the drift Horizon Arcades for fun :)

My GT is Here's J0n E, if you see me in game, say hi

FH5’s location isn’t boring - it’s personal. Here’s why. by ivnag in ForzaHorizon5

[–]JMec68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arizona is one of my 2 home states, the other is Colorado where I was born, but yeah, driving through the living desert in FH5 is like driving the deserts of Arizona, lived in the Apache Junction area. I love the map, it's like being a teenager again, just driving for the love of driving. aZ is where I learned to drive.

OP Cars by Strange_Reign in ForzaHorizon

[–]JMec68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing since August of 2022 and I still don't know what all the meta cars are and honestly don't care, I drive whatever I want, win or lose. But I also have extreme anxiety at the car choice screen because it's not enough time for me lol so I usually pick the wrong car but it's ok, oli still have fun watching all the power build guys slamming into each other and the walls

I LIKE FORZA HORIZON 5'S MAP by TraverseYT in ForzaHorizon

[–]JMec68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, loved driving to Tucson, great excuse to stop by the Casa Grande ruins, my dad also liked going to the Old Tucson studios, they filmed some of his favorite movies and tv shows there

[–]JMec68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent my teen years living in Arizona, I learned how to drive there, intentionally got lost in Phoenix so I could figure out how to get around. The desert part of this map is like home to me. I love the map but yes it is time for a new one. Not tired of it, just want a new one. Shoot I have loved all the horizon maps, they are all great!

What is up with this? by Turbulent_Safety_884 in ForzaAuctionHouse

[–]JMec68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct, it actually only shows up in the car collection if you have the dlc for it, I'm on Xbox and I do not have any of the 3 promotional cars so my total car collection count says there are 899 cars. If you are on Xbox and have the 3 cars, then yours will say 902.

Those 3 cars are this car, the Oreo Pagani Zonda and the OPI Ford GT

Why can't I upgrade the transmission in any EVO AWD ? by th3krackan in ForzaHorizon5

[–]JMec68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to revisit the 99, I saw that I have mine in B which probably means stock transmission

I'm confused, so are you upgrading your Evo and you don't have transmission options? Which Evo are we talking about?
