Hello, I hope this is the right place for this. I am looking for an online text based game I played years ago. It was a racing game and it would give descriptions about cars sitting in driveways and you could make money by racing or having girls sell calendars or you could break into other peoples garages. I’m hoping someone will remember the name or where I can find it. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Is it a Facebook game? Can you remember something about the URL?

You say it is an old game. Then by online, do you mean on a BBS, then? I remember some buy/sell games like that on BBS’s.

Thanks for the replies. Its not a facebook game, wish it was, it would be alot easier to find. I know it was free and I played it probably around 12 years ago. It might not even be around anymore. I’ve been trying to remember anything else about it, but its been so long. The only other thing I remember is that I found it on a message board when I was looking for some online racing games. Someone posted a message that had a big list of them, but I can’t remember which board. Sorry, I know it’s not much help.
