1st attempt: Died by pissing on the tv.

2nd attempt: Engine was somehow launched into the stratosphere.

3rd attempt: house burnt down while I was halfway across the lake getting tires.

10/10 game

Amazing concept.
This game has a great community and mods.
This is a paradise for achievement hunters like myself, for to obtain some of those achievements, you will need to spend hundreds of hours into this game, and we all like a challenge.
I enjoyed the soundtrack that i discovered through this game, the ability to put your own songs into the game and to play them via your car radio, is a really nice touch.
It is definitely realistic when it comes to car parts and assembly. Some things are simplified when building a car however, but those are just details.
Has permadeath mode -- though we all know that everyone kept a save file just in case dying to a bug or a glitch, and there are lots of those, harmless glitches, and people to compile them in one video (Hi Gina).

After you've built your car, done all the "side-missions", got a girlfriend, the title gets dull with nothing else to do but participate in rallies.
And after you got all the achievements from the rallies, this game has nothing else to offer unfortunately.

Overall i enjoyed the experience, and will eventually get all the achievements possible.
Without trying any of the available mods yet, i only wish there were more things added to the original product, such as broader map, more NPCs to interact with, more car parts like turbo or supercharger, different blocks to fit in the satsuma, more things done around the drag-racing concept, perhaps more seasons, and more side-missions.

Product definitely worth buying for the full price.

Got stranded in the middle of the lake because my boat ran out of fuel. Swam to shore, beat the piss out of some dude who was walking around in circles there. Got fuel. Went home. Pissed on the tv causing me to get electrocuted and die. Woke up by the cemetery to find cops waiting for me. Got arrested. Woke up in a jail cell. With a tv. Pissed on the tv and died.

10/10 would recommend.
