Hey gearheads! Fresh off the My Winter Car Early Access launch (Dec 29, 2025)—the brutal sequel to My Summer Car. It’s 1999 Finland: frozen roads, perma-death, and a rusty Corris Rivett project car waiting to be built. I fired it up blind—no hand-holding, pure chaos. Expect crashes (literal & game bugs), jail time, and epic slides. Like/subscribe for full series—want more?

Day 1 Chaos: Apartment Life, Sorbett Daily Driver & Icy Hell
Start in a cozy apartment (rented in Peräjärvi)—backyard, booze stash, new meters: Problem (thirst/alcoholism?), body temp, sweat.
- Sorbett Hatchback: Your starter ride (parked outside). Scrape frost, crank heater/blower—wait 5-10 mins to defrost (10/10 realism). Plug in battery overnight or it dies in cold.
- Icy Roads: RWD slides everywhere. Seatbelt or die on impact. AI wrecks too—trucks in ditches, buses incoming.
- Old House Access: Parents’ place in Kesselinperä still usable (garage/tools). But trespass = arrest (10 days jail). Permadeath vibes—save often!
Pro Tip: Wear winter jacket (floor by door). Run engine parked to stay warm—gas guzzles fast.
PSK Gas Station: Food, Parts & CRASH BUG ALERT
New 24/7 PSK station (edge of town)—’90s buffet, slots, auto doors. Buy:
| Item | Price/Use |
|---|---|
| Classifieds Magazine | Rivett ad/phone # (essential!) |
| Groceries (beer, sausages, coffee/sugar) | Survive hunger/problem meter |
| Parts | Batteries, filters, plugs (for Sorbett/Rivett) |
Known Bug: Doors crash game—avoid or restart. Pay card/cash first for gas—nozzle pickup fails otherwise.
How to Buy the Corris Rivett: Location & Steps (No Spoilers Ruined)
Rivett (Ford Taunus TC1-inspired sedan)—your ~200-part project car. Not free—costs 500 marks (chassis + random parts).
- Grab Classifieds at PSK—photo ad: “Corris Rivett. Cheap. Little rust.” Phone: 08-609553.
- Home phone dial (numpad, ignore dash: 08609553). Listen fully—dart icon pins map.
- Drive to firewood guy’s house (old firewood buyer spot—white shed off highway left).
- Talk/buy—he spawns outside shed. Tow home (Kekmet trailer?).
My Fails: Hung up early—no pin. Ran over pedestrian—jail. Slid off icy roads 5x.
Epic Fails & Laughs: Jail, Crashes & Exploration
- Jail Run: Broke into old house—cops arrested me (10 days). Restarted—classic MSC permadeath.
- Map Tour: Highway spins, train crossings, frozen lake (ice racing tease). Pub ex-shop? Factory glimpses.
- NPCs Wild: Drunk AI? Chainsaw guy? Trucks wrecked everywhere.
Survival Tips:
- Warm Up: Heater on, idling. Eat/drink ASAP.
- Drive Safe: Low gears, no speeding—brakes lock on ice.
- Jobs: Wood chopping at woodshed? Futufon packaging?
- Battery: Plug in nightly.
What’s Next? Rally, Ice Racing & Full Build
Teaser: Ice racing on frozen lake, rally/Rivett tuning. Build for daily, race beast, or historical restore. No hand-holding—forums/Steam key (dev Toplessgun fixes fast).
Day 1 Rating: 10/10 chaos. Dead 3x, found Rivett—pure My Summer Car winter hell.
Your turn: Rivett home yet? Crashed how many times? Comment tips! Smash like for Ep 2 (buy/build). Peace—don’t die in Finland!
