How did you find us? I found you in 2011, but never planned on buying the game until after it came out, so I never signed up. Then in May of this year, my hard drive screwed up and lost 4 years of files. Along with those files was Automation and I forgot all about it until a video popped up in my YouTube feed about a week ago. Now I remember everything and plan on pre-ordering when my PayPal account gets a high enough balance.

How did you find us? I just searched google for an old game I used to play which I could not remember and I read about this game somewhere in a blog, I downloaded the game, was very excited so I don’t really remember the blog name otherwise I would’ve mentioned it and gave it credit.
About:
Petrol head
thanks for making this game 
So, I was over at Abandonia reading the Detroit forums looking for some tips and came across a post of a video of this game. It looked interesting, so today I downloaded the Demo. Somehow my paypal came up and pre-ordered the game…I was just minding my own business playing the demo…honest! Anyway, this is an interesting concept. Obviously I wanted a car design tycoon game, since I was playing, of all things, Detroit.
My name is Kristina and I live in Atlanta, GA, USA. My father was a hobbyist and he infected me with this most expensive bug with his constant asking for screwdrivers, box wrenches, and what-have-you. I curse him to this very day for it, but I digress. Computer simulations are much cheaper than the hobby sitting in my garage, so I try to divulge in them more often, because, well, I’m not made of money you know!
I work in IT doing network design and implementation along with some security functions and software programming, mostly related to database UI’s and backends. Yes, this is another one of my father’s infections, but it pays the bills! Someday I will own a boat on the ocean with no internet or phone, and only a generator, so the suits can’t find me. Until then, here I am.
So far this is pretty interesting. I can’t wait to see the tycoon part of it, though. A bit curious about how exactly it is going to work, especially with an online environment. My other addiction is, of course, Forza Motorsports series. What can I say. I love cars and computers! Anyway, it’s nice to be here. I hope I can finally learn something about cars so that thing in my garage can finally be finished. HAHAHA
DISCLAIMER Before someone gets all up in arms about my opening, I intentionally paid for the game. You know how these interwebz can get… /DISCLAIMER

About: My nationality is Chinese, although I was one of the lucky ones who was born in Hong Kong. After going to an International school there for a bit, My family and I moved to North Carolina, USA. There, I stayed for a few more years, before finally moving to Germany. Looking forward to staying here for a bit, since I’ve got a house here now.
When I was younger, my dream was to own a yellow Porsche Boxster. I just loved the looks of the thing. As I grew older, my dad influenced me into loving BMW’s, annd I’m staying true to BMW. My dad’s car history: A Ford Laser (Him and my Mom were quite poor). Then, he bought a poo brown Toyota Corona. Afterwards, he bought a second hand E30 320i. Thus, the BMW addiction began. He went on to buy an E36 328i, an E46 320i, and then an E90 328i. He then handed his 328i to me. He went and bought a BMW M3, which coincidentally is the car I drive today. He’s moved on to other things now, he owns a BMW X3, and takes public transport.
My father and mother both still work, although they’re in quite a senior position now. My mother has never “officially” owned a car, although her company gave her a Toyota Highlander for our stay in North Carolina. My mother now has a driver (provided by the company) to drive her to work and back, so I get to see a lot of interesting vehicles, although they’re mostly Audi’s, BMW’s, Mercedes’, etc.
My other passion would be computers. This was a more recent love. One day, I was walking through a shopping mall, and happened to come across an AMD processor. I suddenly had an urge to find out more about how to build computers. I soon researched a lot about computers (I gain most of my knowledge online), and was ready to build one.
I put together an i7 2700K with a GTX 580. A few months later, I decided to add another. So my finished rig (That I still use right now) Looks like this. i7 2700K @4.7GHz, 16GB ram, 2x GTX 580 super clocked. Hopefully I’ll gather some money to upgrade soon.
I also enjoy watching Formula 1. My favorite driver is Fernando Alonso. He’s done so much in the past few seasons with a terrible car. Hopefully 2014 will be a turning point in Ferrari and he’ll be able to win a 3rd Drivers Title, or maybe even a 4th if he’s lucky. Best of luck!

Interests: Trains, Model Railroading, Cars, Tractors
Current Vehicles: 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, 1994 Ford F150 XL, 2008 Chevrolet HHR 2LT AA5, 1981 Honda CM400 Custom motorcycle

About: I’ve been interested in trains all my life, so after high school I decided to work for the railroad. But, I’ve always had a passion for cars, especially the old land yachts. I made sure my first car was an older boat and I still drive my Marquis daily, except during winter months. When I was younger I was always drawing my own custom trains and cars and thought I had a potential future in the field of graphic design and animation, but decided to go another direction. Then I found out about Automation while searching for the older Car Tycoon game, and had to pre-order it. This gives me a great way satisfy the creative car nut in me.
