A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Car Wash DIY sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Formula 1 introduced pit-lane speed limits during the 1994 season as safety concerns grew around increasingly fast cars and busier pit lanes. The timeline takes another interesting turn: The Oregon Trail mixed travel, supplies, risk and survival decisions decades before resource-management systems became common in mainstream games. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Car Wash DIY feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
