Introduction

In this episode of My Summer Car, We Are taking on the challenge of playing the game without any Mods installed. It's a mix of anticipation and dread as we embark on this journey of eternal suffering. Our goal is to get the Satsuma up and running without relying on any modifications. So let's dive into the adventure and see what awaits us.

Selecting the Car Color

The first task at HAND is selecting the color of our car. Last time, we went with yellow, but this time, let's go with red. Red means fast, right? So, it seems like a fantastic idea to give our car a fiery look. As we gear up for this challenging playthrough, we Notice that we don't have any accessories like a mugshot or a fake mustache. But that won't stop us from getting started. We're ready to Roll.

Preparing for the Journey

Before we hit the road, we take a moment to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings. Our bedroom remains the same, and we still have the map and other essentials. It's a Monday morning, and our adventure begins. The time is 2:20 pm, according to the clock. We know that we don't have many hours left in the day, so we need to make good progress.

Arriving at Uncle's House

We make our way to Uncle's house to claim our birthday money. As we approach the Jonas Brother, we can't help but notice its 2G livery and the 2G on the back of the seat. It brings back memories from the previous playthrough. We open the holiday present addressed to us and find 250 dollars inside. It's not the best we've received, but it will do. Now it's time to head back to the garage and start working on the car.

Getting Birthday Money

Before we dive into the car restoration, let's make sure we have enough money for the parts we'll need. We open the envelope and find the note from our parents reminding us not to be lazy and fixing Dad's old car and loaning Uncle's Blue Van. We also remember the last time we played, where we had to endure the "permadeath" feature. We decide to leave that disabled this time. We're probably going to die anyway.

Choosing Gifts from Uncle

We arrive back at Uncle's house to claim our birthday money. This time, we have a specific shopping list in mind. We need to buy a few essential items for the car restoration. Uncle tells us that the local kids have bought all the sugar and yeast, but we're lucky enough to find sausages in the refrigerator. We also need spark plugs, an oil filter, a new battery, brake and clutch cables, two-stroke fuel, light bulbs, and more. Uncle tallies it up to about 1300 dollars.

Taking the Jonas Brother for a Spin

With our shopping complete, we fire up the Jonas Brother and take it for a spin. It's exhilarating to be back on the road, even if it's just a moped. We enjoy the freedom of riding around, but we can't help but long for the upcoming days when we'll have the Satsuma fully restored. For now, the Jonas Brother will have to do.

Ordering Parts from Cuevo

Back at the garage, we take a moment to review the shopping list again. We realize we forgot a few items, so we place an order with Cuevo. We need an AFR gauge, ratchet sets, two-stroke fuel, light bulbs, and more. We hope he has everything in stock and that we can get the parts as quickly as possible.

Filling up Jerry Cans

Before we can leave for Cuevo's shop, we realize we need to fill up some Jerry cans with fuel. It's always good to have extra fuel on hand in case of emergencies. We head to the nearest gas station and fill up the cans, making sure we have enough to keep us going for a while. With fuel secured, we're ready to hit the road.

Heading Back Home

With the supplies in tow, we make our way back home. The journey is a long one, but we're prepared. We navigate the lake carefully, avoiding any mishaps. It's a peaceful journey, and we enjoy the scenic views as we move closer to home. We can't wait to get started on restoring the Satsuma.

Challenges of Crossing the Lake

Crossing the lake presents its own set of challenges. The boat ride can take anywhere from five to ten minutes, and it's important to stay focused to ensure a safe journey. We navigate the boat, making sure everything is secure and balanced. The Jonas Brother comes in handy for transporting supplies, but we're glad to be back on solid ground once we reach home.

Unloading Supplies

Once we arrive home, we unload the supplies from the boat and organize them in the garage. We take stock of what we have and what still needs to be purchased. It's a satisfying feeling to see all the parts and tools laid out, ready to be used in the restoration process. We know it won't be an easy task, but we're determined to see it through.

Taking Care of Thirst and Hunger

With the day coming to a close, we take a moment to quench our thirst and satisfy our hunger. We find a Water tap nearby and drink our fill. As for food, we have some macaroni boxes in the kitchen, which should keep us going until morning. Taking care of our basic needs ensures that we're ready to tackle the challenges ahead.

Organizing and Saving Progress

As we wind down for the day, we take the time to organize our tools and supplies in the garage. It's essential to keep everything in order, making it easier to find what we need when working on the car. We save our progress, knowing that tomorrow will be another day of hard work. We're one step closer to getting the Satsuma back on the road.

Next Steps: Going to Fleetari's

In the next episode, our focus will shift to visiting Fleetari's shop to Gather more supplies and get the Satsuma in top Shape. We have a long road ahead of us, but we're prepared for the challenges that await. Stay tuned for the continuation of this unforgettable journey.
