Those achievements will get you tons of cash and lots of new cars. But you have to use a summer car! Any summer car will work, so if you achieve a new car, feel free to use that one moving forward for other summer achievements.

Feel free to use them now!! They will work towards these events.
And if you are wondering where new cars are, well, Cory is putting the finishing touches on them. They are extremely cool... :) So start your typing engines and start burning up the track, because we will be releasing new achievements, titles, and cars as the summer progresses!
