Juluis was grouchy from having to repair the clown car again. At least I was able to get some credits from this race although I didn't win…

He had gained 7.500 credits for finishing second. Another 5,000 for finishing and another 7,000 for clean racing, along with the 2x bonus stat from the “Mr Curtuios” title. His total reward was 39.000 credits. Juluis smirked at his new balance of 109,000 credits.

he was alerted with a new message. The first alerted him of a new vehicle, while the second unlocked an upgrade to the clown car.

Juluis checked out the new vehicle out of curiosity first.

The vehicle was called the bucket of bolts. The car was a metal bucket on a square platform with wheels. On the roof if the bucket were piles of bolts and screws sticking out. There was a bucket handle that acted as a spoiler for the car. It faced the rear of the vehicle. It had a windshield that went around the front end of the bucket.

Not bad for a derby vehicle, but its weight might be its undoing if hit wrong or if I turn it too hard. Since it is top heavy. Although, the special ability is a nice wild card too add to it.

Juluis decided to look over now at what upgrade he had unlocked on the clown car.

The new upgrade improved the pie cannon, making it an enhanced pie cannon. The only difference was the cannon now would let the pies home in on a target.

After checking the rest of his notifications, Juluis prepared for the next event.
