Neither one can go in a street. That doesn't make sense to me. They're cars. They should go in the street. Why not?Nobody truly knows what mysterious thoughts pass through the minds of EA developers. But this is an old story. Cars are treated just like most other decorations, they can only be placed on open 'land' which generally includes the beach and boardwalk as well as the grass. Would be nice to park the Onda or Homer's car in a driveway somewhere, but if wishes were horses, we'd all eat well tonight.

Apparently, the last thing a business owner in SF would want is a customer to arrive by car so the customer can buy large amounts of merchandise and get it home.Springfield has a DMV. The only thing they can possibly teach there would be how to park on lawns. ;)

Yeah, it would be amazing to have cars in the streets! :-D

I think cars driving the streets is a real possibility Stampy walks in the street, so we know it can be done. I've believed this ever since we got the DMV and Stampy. Parking them in house driveways wouldn't work though, when they driveways are part of the house there are problems, but I think it can--and will--be done at least I hope so.

Yeah we raised this issue earlier. Homers car, skinners, 'onda etc seem to be as big as houses and theres no missions involving driving anywhere :roll: . My town is devoid of roads because they take up valuable real estate :P

i find it hilarious that the vehicles tasks drive on the sidewalks. if they can make Stampy stomp around on the streets, they should put cars and motorcycles there as well.

Cars can just go about anywhere but streets and parking spaces. I have a couple parked in squidport. What I learned from other players is to use pavement. Place it next to the parking space and place the car there. I have the dump truck look like it is on the road by substituting pavement for road. While there is no snow he moves the debris

You can "cheat" a bit to make it look like a car is on the road...
