Click the Q button, choose 'start quest', then choose a color!

So...who wants to race?

You will find Garage room with car in it at bottom of room list.

CLick back of car to "open door" click again to choose "sit", click again for close door and then for exit

Use Arrow Keys to drive forward and turn


- guessing I drove too fast, IE closed on me, lol -

OOOOO......I LOVE the blue!

Thanks Fun!.  Clicking the trunk seems to be like the 'control panel' for the car to get in it and out of the garage.

Using arrow keys to drive.  So far.  LOL

Nice car! I chose the Blue also.  And I think a Duck will be very happy with the color selection list!

Arrow keys move the car and turn.  click on the 'on/off' knob on the left to turn the lights on and off.

ROFL.  Reverse lights work as well.

I haven't seen anyone.  So...dunno.

Tunnels take you to different areas, btw.

Lost the sound on my car :(  Bug.

Wheels don't turn...not sure if they're supposed to or not (I mean in game.  lol).

Wheels on the car go round and round, round and round, all over town.

ROFL.  Poor Fun :)

Awesome view, Golden!  Thanks for sharing that!

The 'pink' isn't very...pink.  Wow...hard color to describe.  It's almost a purple-pink.

Also, don't need to click on just the trunk.  Clicking anywhere on the body of the car or the tires will open the doors/sit/exit.

Wondering what the middle dial is for.  Gas?  But it doesn't go down...

Very nice surprise, disappointed we don't see others while driving but it would be chaos then I suppose.

So far I've only come across 3 backgrounds: mountains as with Astro's car/pic; Night City with Golden's; and I saw a daytime desert with mountains.

I noticed I get stopped by the trees too!

Ah!  I'm so bummed!  I saw a picture of the maroon one and then when I went to pick my car color didn't see it offered so thought it must have been the purple color and someone just titled it wrong.  So, I picked the purple, which I'm not a huge fan of (no offense, duck.i!!!!).  

The cars are neat though...I was hoping we'd be able to race each other and stuff - maybe someday!

Awww...they're such nice colors, it's a pleasure to see them a couple/few times again :)  (hugs)

Poor Sunday.  Sorry to hear about that color mixup! :(  Maybe a HELP report explaining it will get them to switch it?  I'm sure there's lots of people trying to change colors right now.

I was hoping to see other ppl, too.  Like you said...maybe someday :)  I would like to see personalized plates ;)

I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but you can get out of your car and walk around.  You have to stay in the same frame as the car but it's neat seeing your character walk away and get smaller and smaller and smaller.

AH.....the infamous "soon"....kind of like when the water rides are gonna open.  Seems to me this driving if buggy enough for now to keep us entertained for a while without us driving passengers.

Actually, Flame has been hopping in and out of others' cars for a while now!  Too funny.  We all need some laughs too, after this hectic week.

Not a clue...unless you drive in circles?  The bugs are hysterical.  I was a passenger in someones car (one of MANY times today LOL), they left and the car started riding round and round in circles...with Flame still in the passenger seat.  ROFL.  Looked hysterical.  I took a video of it.  Might try to upload it somewhere.  Well worth the watching LOL.

I did see someone getting in and out of other peoples cars last night.  Nobody else could figure it out.  Weird.

I noticed if I tried to see just anyone's car front end I could not.  But as I approached a crash site, two of the cars were facing my way, so that showed me what the front of the cars looked like - if that helps.

Now we just need license plates with our names on them so we can tell who is who cause when I click on someone I get out of my car with out even opening the doors.  LOL, I guess my car is the General Lee.  :)  :lolg:

Not sure if there is a certain way to enter these or not.  What I did was that I kept entering the tunnels to find rooms.
