Hey Oppo, so after a day of building idk maybe 10 cars online today a thought accured to me. How many cars are configured online vs actually purchased. For example I know every person reading this has built a car they cant currently afford online multiple times, lets say a Porsche 911. I wonder how many 911's are built online each day vs the amount sold each day. I’d assume it would be some ridiculous number like for every 100 cars built online 1 is actually sold. I also wonder what the percentage difference is between say a Porsche or Aston vs a Toyota or Honda. Obviously people building Hondas and Toyotas can all afford those cars, and are probably building to actually purchase where I would assume the majority of people on Aston and Porsche are building cars they want, but cant currently get. Anyways Oppo thats my quick post comment what you think the ratio is for cars built to sold in the comments and for which brand you assume your ratio applies to!

Those wheels are... interesting. But I don’t hate them.

1000:1, at least, for anything even marginally interesting that is affordable (say, 25-45k) or pedestrian. My car’s model is probably 5000:1, a Toyota Camry is probably 50:1, a Mitsubishi Mirage is probably 1000:1... I might be underestimating by up to 2-4x in some cases.

5000:1 for any interesting aspirational luxury car (say, 45-100k). Some will be much higher, like most everything interesting from Porsche, while some will be much lower, like a 5-series.

For interesting cars over 100k, it’s probably at least 100000:1.
