Hey there. I’ve been playing Automation on and off for a bit now. After lurking in the forums for a while I figured I may contribute soon so I decided to register. I’m a pretty mediocre gamer, and while I am interested in cars I’m far off from your usual “car guy” and I still have quite a bit to learn. I don’t have much else I’d like to say that’s relevant, so I suppose this will have to do

Discovered: Through Steam entirely, I’m always on the lookout for any automotive interest games beyond just driving (but driving also, of course).
About:
Resident Belgian, turning 30 this year (2017) with nothing more to do than general gaming and fiddling about with cars on Automation (1070 hours played at this point in time). Intimidated by the amount of detail people go into here, but trying my best- although I’m confident I’ll never get as good as 99% of you lot.
Long-time car enthusiast, early-days karter and attempted professional racing driver, before chronic health conditions put a swift end to that. Still enjoy owning, maintaining, and driving cars in as much of a capacity as I can, with a very clear preference for cars predating 1975.
I’ll maybe post up some of my own creations sometime, but as I said- I’m pretty intimidated by the attention to detail, skill, and effort you lot put into your cars.

I’m new to this forum. Name is Agatha Nakai (a.k.a Reiko Walker, Reiko’s Carbon Fibre Emolga at Car Throttle). I have been playing this game nearly for 2 years, and have been addicted to it since.
I’m a college student, and Indonesian. I have passion in cars, especially automotive design. Seeing cars beautifully made is like seeing a beautiful girl for me. But somehow, for now I prefer to be an Automotive Artist (the ones who made the liveries to be more specific or made anything cars related, let it be T-Shirts or other merchandises) or opening a Tuning Studio someday (like the Rauh-Welt Begriff thing). Unfortunately I don’t have a car right now, but I’d love to own a car someday, and of course it has to be manual, and reliable.
If you ask me what kind or type of cars I like, I like lots of them. Tuners, Muscles, Exotics, Off-Roads, as long as it looks good and performs good to me (tbh I prefer looks a bit more than performance at one point, let’s just say, 55% looks, 45% performance), I’m all for it.
And here in Automation, this game gives me chance to unleash my imagination and stuff like that, to think about what I want to build, what I want to express, etc. I’ve been designing cars for 2 years, so I kinda enjoy the game, a lot.
Nice to meet you all, have a nice day.

Dream garage: '69 Fastback Mustang, 70’s Mustang Mach I, Corvette [Pretty much all gens], Camaros [All gens pretty much] Fox Body Mustangs, pretty much a lot of mustangs.

Ehh, i don’t know if there’s anything interesting about me to say, well that’s pretty much it …

I can’t remember exactly. I’ve been following the game for a while now, and only recently purchased it. It could possibly have been through the FailRace YouTube channel, but I think I might have discovered the game before that.
About:
I’ve been into engineering most of my life, and I’m looking to go into it as a full time career. Funnily enough, automotive design (especially using CAD) is probably the area I’d most like to go into. In my spare time, I like to play games, play the guitar, watch anime, and dabble in some creative hobbies such as digital art and content creation for games.
