I love this game but I kind of drifted away after I built my car. I still need to tune it, but if I tune it I'll be able to drive it, and if I drive it I'll likely die, and my perfect beautiful summer car will die with me. Has there been anything in the last couple updates that might mean I should restart anyway?

not really. But you getter get it inspected. And maybe try rally it.

TBH I think it's it's too easy to pass the inspection in this game. It takes me hours of work to get my lovely car through inspection and my car is kinda new (only 15yo(shut up that legal in some states))

Makes sense, last names shorter than 3 characters aren't allowed in the government systems, and thus you can't get a license.

Had a full load of lumber attached to my trailer, parked it in my backyard and saved the game. Now the tractor is gone! Any idea where it could be?

e: Found it! It rolled down the hill and stopped against the red barn. For some reason, the tractor will roll off when its parked in the back yard, even with the parking brake on.

Definitely not, because of common history and a Swedish-speaking minority Swedish surnames are common and there are thousands of people with surname Ek.

This could be right, but it could not, and it's not like software devs give a poo poo if it works right for the Swedish-speakers.

I'm not sure if it was a thing with the automated version of the driver's license processing system, but it was the case with a lot of systems of the era where you'd need 3 characters for a name to process right. So you'd just pad them with zeroes.

I wonder if they've changed the software that's used in the theory part of doing your driving license, at one point it asks "is this your name" and you have to select yes or no. My name is so long it has never actually fit in the box so I've just went with yes even though it cuts off like 5 letters. And I've done the god drat test first in 08, next in 11' then again in 14'. And my name has always cut off.

Haven't played the game much recently. Kind of bored of racing games now that i've played them way too much. Really need to go in and grab the rusting fast and rally achievements though

Holy poo poo. I start working at night, see it's storming so I unplug my phone and get to work in my garage. I finish building my engine, get out of the garage and see its morning and the skies are clear. I head inside to have a celebratory beer and plug in my phone again. The moment I plug it in it rings. I think "Huh, what are the chances of that." I answer it, BOOM, dead. Let that be a lesson to all: Always wait for the second ring!

Nothing's gonna ever keep ya down!
I tried to gingerly push my 90% complete car out of the garage, and fell into the pit which applied my outstretched arms to the underside of the front bumper, causing the physics engine to send the car into a spinning fit like a rock in a tumbler. It finally came to rest nose-down in the pit, requiring me to violently yank it out with a tow rope. And now the car is hosed so I'm starting over.

This is far more enjoyable than being outside in my actual garage working on my actual car, which is precisely what I'm supposed to be doing right now. This game is hard, but welding in replacement sections of unibody in 10 degree weather is a pain in my goddamn rear end.

The green car on the dirt road. Wonder why he was removed, I never had any problems avoiding him.

My MSC experience:

Pros:
- Correct portrayal of redneck trump voters with their impossible to understand dialect.

Cons:
- This sequel is too similar to the original mad max movie.
- The society and terrain are too dismal even for a post-apocalyptic society.

Verdict: goty2016

A movie or racing derived paintjob, totally unfitting for your small Japanese car, is a very realistic touch otherwise, but in the 90's Mad Max (the original) was a legendary artifact no one had seen, but everyone had seen the Road Warrior, so obviously the first part had to exist. Go for the Ford "racing stripes" or just plain matte black.

how hard can it be, just drive to the shop and buy poo poo.

Talking about buying poo poo I wonder if it's faster to first go to shop and then build the engine. WR is like 47 minutes from start to inspection
