Trivia / My Summer Car

• The Danza: The rude yellow car driver is named Jani, after the Finnish streamer who voices him.
• Dueling Games: With Jalopy, another atmospheric driving simulator where you're a European driving an Alleged Car.
  • As of March 2018, Jalopy has officially graduated from early access while MSC is still in development.
  • Both games were released as early access in 2016 with Jalopy being released six months before MSC.
  • Both games share the same concept of building a car from scratch and driving it around having various adventures:
    • Jalopy is more serious, grounded in reality, and building and maintaining the car is less complex. You play as an East German in the year 1990 driving a Trabant between East Germany and Turkey.
    • MSC is more humorous and wacky but the car is a lot harder to build and maintain. You're also a drunken Finnish teenager who does various odd-jobs around the Finnish countryside in 1995. All while trying to rebuild your dad's old 70s Datsun from the ground up. You can also drink yourself stupid, relax in a sauna, swear at locals, and pee anywhere you want.
• What Could Have Been: The sewage truck was originally going to be a log truck, but the former was easier to implement.
• Word of Saint Paul: Teimo doesn't have a confirmed last name from the dev, but his voice actor says it's Pielinen.
