## Why does some art look different?
Added: CIE's servers were shut down long ago and a lot of the game's art was never archived. Where it's missing we rebuilt it in CarTown's style, mostly from the game's own art: many popups, the Junkyard, the mission characters' pictures, the part crates, the restoration part icons, and the Fast Five places, popups and characters. Some cars still show their standard wheels or hood because those models were lost.

How this version looked

What is L.O.S Cars?

A revival of CarTown EX, CIE Games' car garage game (2010-2014), run by the team behind L.O.S Farms. CIE's servers were never archived, so our server is rebuilt from the game client. The client and art come from the archive.org cartown-assets collection and the Wayback Machine.

Can I play?

Not yet: it's a staff play-test while we finish the game. Join the Discord to hear when it opens.
