My Summer Car

[ArmatageShanks]

Do any of you Mybroadbanders enjoy this utterly frustrating but equally rewarding Title?

I have lost the desire to game for hours on end since I started working and so, but this game got me back to it.

Spent half of Friday trying to assemble things and learn the game mechanics.

Entire Saturday was spent on assembling things only to have to disassemble it again because I forgot something.

By Sunday evening I got the engine in the car and started... for about 7 seconds it was semi alive, then it didn't want to start a second time.

This may sound awful and pointless to most of you and some of you are thinking has this man never heard of Google?

Well for some reason after struggling with something for considerable amounts of time of my life that I could have spent in other ways, when something finally fits or works it's a feeling great enough to make it all worth it.

This is something I miss about gaming, the pursuit of knowledge in game instead of Alt & Tab to have a Google.

Makes things much more rewarding I'd say.

I've watched this one twitch streamer playing this a few times, however he seems to know a lot about cars, so taking things apart and rebuilding it wasn't an issue.

That being said he ended up blowing one piston on his car, so had to get an entire new engine, not sure what happened after that as he mostly streams when I'm asleep..... EJ something or other was his nick

Was entertaining to watch, but doubt I'll ever play since my knowledge of cars are pretty much nonexistent

Having good mechanical knowledge helps a hell of a lot however, a lot of things are not logical at all such as the fact that you don't have to jack the car up to fit the wheels, it just jumps up

Was watching Squirrel's videos on youtube last night. I was watching video after video for about 3 hours. I see it's R 159 on steam, think I'll get it, looks fun

It could be especially if you like cars and building them.

I'm seriously not trolling, but has it occurred to you that you're sitting in front of your PC instead of in the garage building the real thing?

Google is a tool, just as the game is a tool (i.e primarily to prevent money expenditure, real elbow grease and possible physical harm).
If you are hardcore enough to want to figure things out, find that vehicles official maintenance manual through google

Personally, this is great because you're learning real world car mechanics through a simulator. All education should be this fun

Thanks for highlighting this game, seriously thinking of picking it up... if only I had much more time (@ghoti curse you)

The downside to the physical car restoration is the tools and parts. I've spent a small fortune on a 1973 mini and it still isn't finished.
