yo guys, what is going on? Blossom back. Welcome back to another episode of Top Drives. Let's jump into events. Let's talk about my situation for the finals coming up. So, uh, yeah, not much has changed since the last time we got the legendary, I'm going to say that in quotation marks, legendary. I don't really think it's a legend. Anyway, this is what I've got. I mean, everything is fully upgraded now. I mean, they're all at one star, but also they're all fully upgraded. I don't know if I want to spend all the cash yet. It's going to be a pretty healthy investment. It's like 60k in terms of just three-starring these Ultra. So basically, like, you've got this piece of [__] and then you've got, uh, this fully upgraded TT. And I have another fully upgraded TT that I'm also going to max. Uh, it's also 323. It's just the better tune for this final. Then I've got a fully upgraded Audi A6 quad throw and

a fully upgraded Audi Q3. That's it. So, not the best hand in the SES at all. I might open another cursed pack for the sake of this gameplay day video, but I'll think about that 'cause, you know, this isn't a pack that you really want to open. It's crazy that I'm already getting duplicates of everything. I've barely opened any packs, right? I've opened two of the H EGT packs, one Platinum, one Titanium, and obviously I've won some packs along the way as well. And the fact that, like, you know, this is a... I've got two A3s, two S6s, and two TTS, and I have two A6 Quattro as well. I have duplicates of four unique out. It's weird. But then again, it's not like there's really an ultra-rare Audi that I had wishlisted, besides I did get it. I did get it, so props for that. I did wish list the S6.

Evon plus. I do like the car in real life. Um, I think there's a cult following, right, for this Q7. So, I think that that isn't too bad of an option to get. Um, but yeah, more or less looking at all of this. I mean, the only one that I'm probably going to go for that I would like to unpack. I talked about this in the previous video, is the RS4 Von, right? Let's have a look at EGT CU, 'cause I don't know if I want to open that Caron yet. Let's have a look at EGT real quick. EGT non-prized cars, okay. And then let's take away Audi and see what the pack looks like about that. I think someone said in a video, you take away that brand, and it actually looks all right. So, if I just did Alpha, 100 cars, Fiat, KTM, McLaren. I mean, McLaren's going to make a nice pujo, Reno. I mean, yeah, it's, it's

it's just simply better. I don't know if I want to open the pack. I really do not. I mean, I could think about opening a 10 times for y'all instead of doing a carbon. Well, we'll think about that before we get into today's video. But anyway, I mean, before we get into the pack opening part of today's video, but I'm going to jump into the New Concept Clash first and see if I can, you know, stay around that second place. I don't know, man. 32 and 16 for a first place seems that, you know, first place is kind of, it's possible. It's possible if I can get it. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe. I don't know. Okay, so let's go into it. Let's get into it. So, Mission R. I forget what I was using. There's a, yeah, there's a two city streets that you need to use and a bunch of twisty stuff. Let me see if I remember. I think I was using a C4 3.5 91. This is

3.3 84 uh the other medium ground clearance. I know a lot of people using the E Legend. I don't think I'm using that though. I need to remember what were the other cars that I was using in this situation. I think I was using an exp. I was definitely using an exp and maybe a Mazda RX. I was using a fury. These two cars might be a better option actually. Are there any long drags? No actually yeah 28 100 2192 though. That see this 0 to 60 is something I don't want to let go. 69 okay. Medium ground clearance. Let's see let's see. I remember what I was using now. I was using the renal quo right and then this car I was using the Bentley but now I'm starting to think oh what if I don't use the Bentley. What if what if there's a better option. If I could use like the Kix egg. It's a huge RQ. I mean 57 medium ground.

clearance 57. Let's see what else we have. Medium can we can remove. Actually, you know what, maybe C2 4993 4890. Okay, might yeah, it might be better using the pulse up. But now we have so much RQ to use, man. We'll try and see if the keg is a better option. This guy's got a lot of losses, which means like maybe I could beat it. City street small oo. That's an interesting one. 2983 against my citen. I mean, I can't beat this h. I mean, this is fully upgraded, isn't it? Yeah, that's a fully upgraded Fon. Dude's got 16 L's. Damn. Yeah, someone's trying to take first place from him, but it ain't me. This would be a fantastic card to unpack right now, the pujo l500r. Man, what the scenes if I could get that. The scenes if you could use that for this try series. You know, one thing that is a little bit

sad is the next prize car, right? Um, the next prize car is the Whatchamacallit, the Mazda 767b. And I mean, those are going to get infinitely better Tri series requirements, obviously, right? Because we don't need to deal with the Audi stuff anymore. That being said though, the prize car itself, the Mazda 767b, like, do you really want it? Like, if you are an OG player, if you've won a lot of cars in your day, like, ask yourself this, do you really want it? Is it, I mean, yeah, it could be another prize car added to the collection, sure, but I don't know, man. I don't know. Okay, so one win here, another loss. Um, that's going to lose Twisty Road, right? That, that's, that's definitely going to lose 2712 to 29108. Uh, Mountain Herin, that should probably win Twisty Circuit. Ooh, 27102. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm feeling a little bit better peeing the fury over there. Finally, that Braam got a massive RQ Nerf. I think

the braam is so much better as a 92. Remember when the brav was like 98 or something like that? Like, I just cannot believe that. I cannot believe that that car used to be rated on such a high regard. Still 32 and 16, and I can't beat it. I would like to use the Renault. I really would like to use the Rena, but um, there's oo. I mean, I could use the remac, or I could just go back to the hand that I was using, the Bentley. I could just go back to the hand I was using with the Bentley. Um, let's have a look at this once again. I don't think I can beat it. I just don't think I can beat it, so I'm just not going to go for it. Um, let's go for another one over here though. Uh, 28105, that's 27102. Surprisingly, a lot of people have fully upgraded or heavily upgraded Mau fur. Like, they've got Mau fur out the wazu that

are fully upgraded in terms of handling. Mine is also upgraded. Oh yeah, shout out to this ride. Used to be an epic um, but yeah, it's 22. It's 221, which is very rare for me. Usually, I like to go on the handling side of things first, but there's always a reason to my madness, and I think the reason for this one was for some kind of special challenge. It definitely had to be a special challenge. Oh, is this fully upgraded? That's 3297 two-star. What upgrade is that? 22. Okay, so that's almost fully upgraded. 3197 would be fully upgraded. Let's Okay, well, I don't think I don't think we can win anything. I don't think we can win a single race over here, so we'll just see how it goes. One win, two win, and that's going to be a loss, and that's going to be a loss. Oh, that might be a win. Okay, we'll see if I win City street small. We win.

all of it. It's 3591 to 3382. It is close. I think a fully upgraded Peugeot 908 RC that might do a better job than the Citroen that I'm using right now. I mean, I say that the Citroen is getting the wins for me, but I just don't feel very confident with it. You know what I mean? Let's go, let's go, P. Let's give this a try. We've got that fully upgraded and, uh, what's the that we can use? 73 medium ground clearance, 73. What do we have to use, uh, for that? So medium ground clearance 73, n. Here, the Cadillac Escalade might be pretty useful. We got the Renault Clio once again. I mean, this is even cheaper in terms of RQ, isn't it? This is even cheaper in terms of RQ. I guess if I want to use this, but then I'll have to go, I, I, I have to get out the King S. I can't use

the King's anymore. Oh, 450 RQ. You think it's a lot, but it really isn't. Like, yeah, I can't seem to get the perfect hand. I can't use the Remac. The CX5 is still overrated to hell. And then again, we're back to using the Bentley EXP. I'm just changing my hand all the time, and I don't know why. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. I was using a hand that was actually getting me wins. I didn't feel too confident about it, but I wanted to change anyway. See, I can now beat this guy on the city streets, city street stuff, but I don't think I can beat him on any of the legendary stuff because this is fully upgraded. This is okay. That's not fully upgraded, but that's maybe max handling, not even just a slight upgrade of the handling. And that's one handling, one two two. Yeah, one two two. Mine is 22 one, but I don't think 221 is going to be one 122 handling is.

handling is everything, isn't it? That's not going to win, so that I win C streets there. I don't win C streets here. I don't win C streets here. Yeah, I'll give it a try 'cause I don't have any other options. So, we got a win here, maybe um 22 and 28. Yeah, that's going to... We're going to have to find out that 0.60 to 60, 103 and 94. Yeah, it doesn't win it. It doesn't win it. Unlucky. We did win those City street mediums, but at what cost? At what cost? We've got one more race to go. Let's just... Let's just do this. Yeah, sure um City streets medium and small. I'm just going to go for this guy. Why not um I just want to get the races done now uh City street small. Yep, that loses. That wins probably medium. I I think it should win uh medium Hill Climb. Maybe maybe please smile. That wins and that maybe wins. I don't know 0.70 to 60.

difference nine handling oh o right at the end and we do take it 250 okay so the Porsche with that zero low z to 60 nmra clutches it clutches it eco-friendly energy is up next let's see France and USA uh what do we have and what what were we using for this because I did start this earlier this is the one of all the off-road stuff right I think it is so again off-road tires only not really all surface I think I was using the t16 I think the citran C4 was getting double the use I believe it was getting double the use um Hill Climb twisty ah I remember I remember I was using the Bugatti Chiron and then I was using the Escalade um yes and then the other car that I was using was an R Q I don't think it was an RQ 50 but I don't remember what I was using aside of that it was another medium ground clearance boy but I I I don't remember what it was uh

performance tires and medium ground clearance was the key over here. Performance medium. I mean, I guess I could just use it the caliber. I could even use the D3 performance. That it'ss, yeah, I don't remember what my previous hand was, but I'll go with this for now. So, we've got the 0 to 100, we've got the GeForce, we've got the quarter. I'll switch that, and then we've got C streets and the 0 to 100 again, and that's going to be your hand. I mean, I think the main car to use here is that Escalade IQ. I mean, if you can use the Epic Escalade, then more power to you. Maybe I could switch that out. I'm actually thinking maybe I should switch that out, actually, and then maybe use a lower RQ city streets car. So, if I use an Escalade here, which is a slightly better car but exponentially more expensive, I can use an RQ43.

medium ground clearance car performance medium 43 ooh you know what Avenger is okay. The Avenger is okay. Yeah, I'm okay with that 'cause that is a great one to save some our cute nice beard dude. One, two, three, four, five, and six. Ooh, he'll climb against the Raptor. That's going to be interesting in the sand, right? Okay, uh 50 points. I'll take that though. I will take that. Uh, and it's 346 to 100. Okay, two stars. One, ah, that's unlucky. I missed out on a prize board. That's one quality of live feature that they just don't want to fix, huh? It's the, um, you know, fair prize board system. You know, you get two stars. I should be getting two prizes, but you know, I've lost a lot of prizes out of that method. Um, there we go. That's another win. He'll climb. Uh, that's going to be an easy win with this Escalade, actually. I think this is the first time I'm using the Escalade.

since that final for the Cera, so it really do be like that. 159 and 157, that's really close actually, by two freaking points. Um, I don't know where it got so close, maybe the city Tre is medium, maybe that uh H CL. Next, we're going to one mile ooh escalate IQ on a one mile, that's going to be a lot of points for us, so that's a win, that's a win, that's a loss, and that is a loss. But the hill clim, we only lose by 50, and we save 11 RQ that way, so I'm totally okay with that. Yeah, thought one's going to get us a crap ton of points, 360 to 135, I think that got us 200 points alone. Let's clear that now, the middle are out of prizes. One more, a lot of less, less, a lot of less thoughts was spent on this event, uh, compared to uh the first one that we did today, uh, which ended up I think.

It was like four wins and one loss, I think, and that's honestly not that bad considering how dodgy I made everything. Um, Hill Climb and, uh, we've got Twisty Road, half mile. Yeah, we're going to lose that half mile. We're going to lose that hill climb. Ooh, actually, you know what? This hand's pretty damn good. I'm not, I don't think I'm winning that, you know. I think Hill Climb, if, if, I think it's even better if I use the R now. I don't even think it's about the Escalade. It's a, it's a valiant effort though, four points, but yeah, all right, 41 out of both events. Was that enough time for me to think if I should open one more? You know, it's, it's always with these gameplay Day videos. It, it's, it's, it is a must. It is tradition. It is what it is. Let's go one pack. Let's go one pack and we see we get anything good or not. I mean, considering that this is the

pack that we're opening. The answer is no, we're probably not going to get anything good, but you know RS4, we're aiming for one card or that R8 or that R8. Okay, super RAR is already, and then we've got a TT Quattro Roadster, 61 Audi A6 Quattro 2.7T. And to end off the video, we've got a, oh, it's the third one, it's the third one. I cannot believe it. Like, like they added a hundred Audis, but we're already getting dup. Actually, both were duplicates, weren't they? Both of them were duplicates. Think about it this way. I, yeah, I've owned that. That's okay. Okay, well, anyway, guys, that's going to be it for today. Let me know how your final is going to go. Obviously, I'm going into this with basically a Cut Rate legendary and a bunch of out R. So, yeah, I want to add those cars. Actually, I want to add those cars. Let's, oh, we already did. We already

did so look at that collection three two oh God hope you guys have a great day remember stay safe wash your hands and Bloss them out peace [Music] bro this song just makes me so happy me [Music] too imagine being Asian in the 50s looking jacket looking sleep look like presy look so deadly back at home Feeling Jazzy turn it on and play it slow like the movies with the ladies so fine imagine being Asian in the 50s looking niy Le jacket looking Sleek look like Presley look so deadly got back at home Feeling Jazzy turn it on and play it slow like the movies with the L hey so sit back relax in my baville Pontiac hold tight all night cruise to Jacksonville at
