    If its not already implemented, i think an odometer that saves mileage with your car would be cool. In that way, if there will be possible to buy and sell used cars the mileage will follow the cars.
    Maybe even a working speedometer/odometer in the dashboard itself?

    Sorry if it already have been asked. I am pretty new here.

    I doubt the milage thingy is hard. Not for buying and selling, but it would be fun to have just to see how far one goes.

    This is a great concept. As the miles increase, the more questionable the reliability on a car becomes. +1 Support from me!

    BeamNG cars' reliability are always questionable as they are not rigid body :D

    Exactly! But the cars shouldnt die completly and become useless. Maybe some parts needs to be changed now and then, so that the car will work again regardless of mileage.

    I think this would do well for the career mode that they were planning to do, but I don't think that's all based on the mileage(wear). Although the mileage could decrease the car's value, like it does irl.

    Yeah ive thought about this too, i think the mileage could be total miles driven in the car, dont know if that would work or not.

    But then the trip (bottom one) should be miles driven in that session, as in since the last time you 'reset' the car. This number would constantly be added to the top mileage, permanently adding miles.

    This system could be used for challenges, say who can driven the longest (distance) around a track, without tha cara breaking, or running out of fuel etc. Lots of potensial, but just getting the odometer working for the race update would be awesome!

    Yeah i realised, but there's no need to make a new thread. Just adding to the idea, so the devs know its a desired feature.
