  13. [R10] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US Update: This game used to be so much fun but I think last year they did a huge update and it’s totally ruined the game. Now in order to drive or do certain levels your car needs to be upgraded to the highest level that is total bull.

[R19] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US Ad problem: So this game was good until… they added 4x the amount of ads I only get 30 seconds to play every time before an ad after the ad I play another 30 senconds and repeat.
