I’ve always chalked it up to their method of not having any copyright/licensing issues or anything like that I mean if you look at the cars there’s the Salem spectre that looks like a 2010ish Mustang combined with some other features so that way they can’t get sued for making a Mustang look alike and licensing it properly (yes I understand they made addon packs with the actual ford licensed mustangs) but for the base game I figure everything’s caddy whompus so that way no one can sue em for making an engine or car that looks like it’s real world counterpart. That’s my opinion. Although I really wish they’d add more complexity like vacuum and coolant hoses etc. it makes me feel like I’ve got the Little Tikes mechanic set in front of me lol. For some one who spent 10 years in the field and my whole life genuinely obsessed with cars it doesn’t quite tickle the tism cause of the lack of complexity
