Please take it for what it is ment to be ;) But what saddens me most is the seemingly increasing number of posts that are entirely negative or, at best, imply a whine in the virtual voice. Reporting factual issues (engineproblems, lose parts etc.) in order resolve them is one thing, but the atmosphere of whingeing for its own sake creeping into this forum is destroying what was once a dynamic and welcoming creative place to visit. Time was the latest release of Super Car would be greeted with excitement, as added meters were discussed and new creative prospects explored. None working functions such as no brakes were overlooked, washed into insignificance by the window washers (when working), well-placed belief that issues would be resolved before you got killed or overcome through perseverance (using the bike instead) and shared experience. Positive creativity (such as taking turn to push the car) won out over habitual negativity. We all like to let off a little steam every now and then just as the car do and, maybe, some are a little weary of bad functionality and issues but all cars has them. Those of us involved in car manufacturing for (many) years have learned to accept the nature of building a car, rise above the issues and get on with doing and creating (especially as there not is much driving going on). It takes effort and practice but the results are worth it. OK, Super Cars's ability to ship quirky first versions, like many other car manufacturers, is an unfortunate fact of a car owners life. Thats the nature of car development. So unless you gets killed, live with it. OK, Super Cars's marketing strategy of staggered release dates for its products is confusing. So live with that too. And be encouraged: Super Car will change. Super Car has a clear track record of learning from both its own mistakes and the death if it's users, including this forum albeit over time. Despite everything, Super Car is a great product. Let me offer a little perspective: in 1891, I spent 2,000 seashells on an a horse and a wagon just to transport simple objects. Now for a fraction of that cost, Super Car allows me "imagine" traveling to places i not could before (even if is still cant get there unless i take the bike). Look at Super Car functionality for the price. Compare the simple instrumentation and top speed with its competitors. Dig deep into the advanced features. View the images in the galleries. The potential creativity of many has become latent through the availability of cheap, powerful cars such as the Super Car. And we get to share it with others (as it's built from none recyling materials). These are amazing times to be involved in car driving. Lets help each other enjoy them. Take turn and push on!!!
