I haven't seen anyone mention this here. Automation is a really neat car designer game. It's currently in alpha stage, but I've played with the engine designer demo quite a bit and it's very well done. The physics seem to be on target as far as I can tell.

Give it a shot:

It was also Greenlit (Greenlighted?) on Steam in the last round of titles, so hopefully it will show up in Early Access soon.

I'm going to play the shit out of that game once it's released! Everything my company will make will be as 80s-tastic as possible, with pop-ups on everything.

Great game. The graphics are good. The controls are fairly intuitive. The new body design part of the game is a lot of fun. Tuning the engines to get that last bit of horsepower of fuel mileage you need to complete a scenario is very satisfying.

I actually forgot that I had this installed. Hmmmm

First thing I did in the engine builder was make a replica of the Iron Duke. No idea why, but it ended up being very accurate in terms of specs and outputs.

I tried to install the demo the other day, and when I ran the demo installer, for some reason it downloaded the full version of the game, and then asked me for a reg key... It wouldn't let me play the demo version... Has this happened to anyone else?

Apparently that's not too uncommon, there's even a FAQ for that happening on their website IIRC. See if the instructions there help.
