    You don't have the "BeamNG.drive" badge under your username, which tells me you either haven't activated your copy of Drive yet, or you haven't actually bought it.

    Go to the email where you received your serial, and click the SECOND link to upgrade your forum account to be able to access user content.

    Take a screenshot with the Snipping Tool (built into windows 7) and post it here; that doesn't seem right...

    Yeah I would do what FastChassic said, what OS are you using? Did you change the drive icon under your username? This sounds wired.

    Oh, that's probably the issue. Windows 8 doesn't seem to like BeamNG very much (according to a friend who also has a loaner Windows 8 from Fry's)...

    There's your problem, BNG has been known to have problems with 8.

    I don't think that's his problem at all; Drive behaves on my Windows 8 machine. It doesn't play nice with anything other than Windows, actually -but that's irrelevant.

    When you say it won't open your game folder, are you referring to "\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG-drive-0.3\"? Does it give you an error message? Do you have administrator privileges? Gotta let us know~

    Are you still having problems with getting the vehicle?

    You need winrar or 7zip to extract the vehicle.

    if you use experimental version, you should unpack mods here: Documents > BeamNG.drive > cache > vehicles. but if you opened archive and see folder "vehicles", copy archive to: your_steam_games_library > BeamNG.drive > content > vehicles.

    Uhh..what?

    If you opened the archive and you see vehicles, drop the archive in
    Documents >BeamNG.drive > Mods

    If you opened the archive and it doesn't have "vehicles", extract it to the BeamNG folder, usually
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles\

    Btw... you also just bumped this by 11 months...
