If I didn't somehow miss these features, then I really think that it would be nice to see them in TDU! Obviously since the trading system has been down I haven't really been able to look at it, and I have yet to create or join a club, but as far as I can see, TDU doesn't SEEM to include any of these features:

1. It would be really nice to be able to lend a car to a friend. I imagine it could be implemented with a simple recall facility to allow you to get it back at any time.

2. Failing that, or preferably in addition to that, it would be really nice to be able to sell or trade to a specific person only - then I could gift a car by 'selling' to a friend for $0. It doesn't even really have to be done through the trading window, either. It'd be cool if you could just do a direct trade when you hook up with people on the road.

3. It would be nice to be able to give money to someone.

I suppose I can challenge them and lose if I want to, but still, atm, if I wanted to give a noobie friend say $500k, I'd have to challenge them multiple times because (I assume that) you can't accept a challenge for more money than you have? (And though I haven't actually tried, I imagine there is an upper limit for challenge winnings?). So, say he has $40k, I guess I would challenge him for that and lose, then $80k, and lose... etc. It would be much easier and affect my own stats less if I could just give him the cash and not have to throw races :)

If I'm wrong and any of these features already exist... lemme know how, please? :)

^ These are all good ideas! I'd love to have functions like these either added to the club interface or to the complete lack of car inventory managment tools they currently have.

The more I play the game the more I feel like I would've like to have seen the garage built in to more of a 'commerce' tool in general. Total asset managment, cars, money, gifts and lending, etc...

*shrug* yeah I know I'm obsessing over it and I'm sure the devs will have little motivation to make any major changes to this aspect of the game. So I better just start living with it. :p
