And to keep it from getting too negative, anyone out there with brilliant plans for your drive in?I didn't buy it yet but my brother did. He just placed the cars anyway, they don't look that bad, especially at a glance. he stuck some parking meters up next to the cars as speakers or intercoms or whatever. It looks pretty nice! :)

Cars should be able to rotate in all 4 directions, like fences and walls. They should also be able to be placed on roads. Unfortunately, they can't. Maybe EA will change things in the future. I wouldn't hold my breath.

I just didn't put any cars at mine because it looks odd when vehicles are facing away from the screen.

If you are "going to the drive-in", it doesn't matter about watching the movie!

What are you talking about? Both cars face the right way.

Mine face the correct way too. I love the drive in. Such an unexpected item.

People park backwards at our drive-in in real life..... So it doesn't bother me much- could look better, but it's not bad

OP is talking about other cars in Springfield, not the two that are part of the drive-in.

Right. I'm talking about adding cars to a lot in order to make the drive in bigger. As part of a design. The added cars will not face the screen. It's a silly mistake on their part.

I faced them sideways. I figured they could lay across the backseat and stare out that way :lol:

They do? I never knew that! Been years since I was at a drive in. Problem solved!
