I Started playing right when the game was out of demo stage. Played this game constantly. So my count must be something thousand or more now. I even played in class telling my teacher I was learning to drive. Also when my teacher said its a game I told them it is a simulator
I'd say I have at least 4-5 thousand hours in this game. I don't play it through steam so I have no exact number. Been playing since 2013.
