Haven’t played it in a long while, but I remember it to be horrible and enjoyable at the same time.

same, same. Had some cheap laughs with it around the time of release - got horribly drunk, peed out of the van’s window - at obscene speeds on dirt road, died several times… good times.

But actually building the car? Yea nah, that’s some arcane arts to me, don’t know much about cars beyond the surface level.

The worst thing is (was?) that you couldn’t even build the car without looking at a tutorial online. So many steps that are impossible to figure out on your own.

I like the game and spent a lot of time with it, but when I last played it half a year ago it still felt pretty unfinished.

Edit: looking at the changelog, it’s the first update in two years and they didnt really add anything new, apart from some bug fixes and a “feature” where you can die from a wasp in your house if you leave the doors open all the time. They won’t be adding any more features after this. How can they even call this 1.0.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that some gamers absolutely love arcane bullshit. I think I’m going to give the game a whirl

Check out Ginauz if you need any tutorials!

Funny how they managed to sum up everything I hate about games like these in one line of a patch note.

I mean, how many people do you know that can rebuild a car without any manual?

And the sequel, My Winter Car, coming this year, is promised to be even less fun!

Was this the game where the developer made the game less fun a few years ago? I can’t trmember what the issue was but it was something to do with a car crashing into you or something?
