The devil you say!

drat, three in game weeks and I got my car built, but for the last few days in there I've been trying to get it to run. It'll start up, and run for like a second then cut out, and the oil light comes on. Checking the levels in the oil tank I think there might be a leak, but it never loses very much so it must be a slow one. I've been going over everything looking for loose nuts and bolts but I cant find anything. Any thoughts?

That might have been it, was I just stalling then? The other vehicles seem to take care of the clutch themselves. My oil light is still on though, there's a mechanic I can take it to right?

Edit: Hmm, I can get it going but it won't go very fast and doesn't sound very healthy.

Maybe I messed up something in the gearbox, everything runs great until I put it in gear.

Well, the only thing I've used the screwdriver for is the alternator, and I just pulled it out as far as it'd go. Guess I got some tunin' to do. I didn't use any guides, my dad and my brother are mechanics so for family honour I was determined to figure it out myself.

Edit: Maybe now that I know how stuff works I'll just start over in permadeath, working backwards is frustrating!

Well, guess I didn't fit the boot lid properly...



Normally I enjoy a good physics bug but I'm not so hot on this one.


Fuuuuuck and I forgot to save too, gotta start completely over.

I dunno man, I pushed it into the garage when it wasn't fully assembled. It's not the easiest task but that's this game.

That'll make it harder to piss out the window of a speeding septic truck, but I'm up to the challenge.

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?
