Looking for Opinions and Advice

I was also confused by this. The rules make no mention of the board. The rules do mention that each player gets a Game Pad, but later there is no mention about what the Game Pads are for.

I really like the theme of a car collector get rich auction game. However, I think the rules need a lot of clarification - possibly including some images and examples - before anyone is going to be able to provide valuable criticism.

There is a feeling I get, however, that there are a lot of random events in the game carrying random bonuses and penalties. I draw a card, something good happens to me - the end. You draw a card, something bad happens to you - the end. It would be my preference as a gamer to get rid of these kinds of events. I would limit the randomness strictly to what cars are available for auction at any given time.

I know that parts hunting and repair are huge parts of the car collecting hobby, yet repairs are represented very thinly by the random card draws and the parts hunting aspect seems completely absent. Why not explore these sub-themes more deeply and integrate them in a clever way with the core auction mechanic?

Finally... have you considered the problem you might have with licensed material, should you ever attempt to publish this game? I expect the game would lose a lot of its appeal if you have to replace the recognizable makes and models with fake/generic ones.
