If you have a few hundred thousand US dollars to burn, why wouldn't you say, go on a 12 month round the world holiday?

Rent a sports car in each city in Italy and France.

Why would you buy a Lambo and continue to in rural USA?

Why not do something bigger than yourself? Invest, make more, donate some on repeat

And then you later find some common item with way better stats

Or you find out everyone gets this 'rare' item in the tutorial.

It looks like a shitty kit car.

This post inspired me to create [email protected], and this will be the first post! (Yes I Cross posted it)

I'm not sure I've ever seen nor heard of a game where this situation could even apply....

Bit of an obscure one, but Fire Emblem Gaiden.

There is a miniscule (0.014%) chance for the very first enemies in the game to drop an extremely powerful item that normally isn't available until much later. Getting it early is absolutely wild because one of its effects is doubling stat gains when leveling up, which can quickly snowball your characters into godhood.

Now THIS is the first actual example of an early/tutorial enemy dropping a 'rare' item.

Forza Horizon 5. The game literally throws hypercars at you within the first few minutes. It's fun, although many people complain that it ruins the sense of progression (nevertheless the game has hundreds of cars, unlocking them all would take forever).

My third or so wheel spin got me the Lambo Forza Edition that comes with some massive XP boost for when driving around

Even though I liked driving my other cars around the fact that they couldn't go half as fast or earn the XP nearly as quickly made me use almost exclusively that for the open world bits. Felt too wrong not to unless I was specifically going off road or something

The Deliverator's car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator's car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens. You want to talk contact patches? Your car's tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator's car has big sticky tires with contact patches the size of a fat lady's thighs. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta.
