No, for $60 each year you're purchasing the base game. Extra race cars will be made available from random loot boxes costing only 15 DiRTCoInZ each! What a steal! Your friends will be so envious when they see you in that ultra rare limited edition car, so get those boxes!

99% of the time though, you'll just win the same paint job for a car you don't own, or maybe a nifty steering wheel cover you can't see in game maybe if you're really, really lucky, you'll win some cool spinning rims....again...that only works for a car you don't own that can only be won from a different kind of lootbox available only during special events...

Also, all these things are one day trials...that have to be used within 7 days or they expire.

And now there is a sale on for 14 DiRTCoInZ for the low low price of $9.99, or, if you like, an even better deal: 29 DiRTCoInZ for only $14.99!

I remember when EA bought popcap and Plants vs Zombies 2 put literal price tags each plant.
