Ahh....that brings up another issue. If I have my car repainted, will my transmission suddenly stop working? The paint shop will tell me then that their paint is incompatible with Transmission Ver 1.01.

Of course, when I get tired of these problems, I can get a competitive upgrade car from Borland for $99, or $129 if I want the Professional Edition.
