This is a hilarious and strangely accurate way of thinking of it.
I've been going in-game a lot this last year, in order to make cars, but always singleplayer. But I found that I got the most valuable feedback when I actually visited servers where people had tried my cars. Then I kind of got the idea that, I, uh, wasn't as clever about some of their handling setups as I thought I was.
