Players start at level 1 across seven professions and accumulate Coins and Experience by completing jobs and driving. The seven XP tracks unlock different vehicles and upgrades — see Careers for the full list.
Reliable income paths
Cargo deliveries and driving buses or taxis generate enough coins to buy new cars and parts. Hitchhiker pickups are a popular fast-XP technique for the general Driver level.
Spending categories
Vehicles (dealerships).
Parts and tuning.
Fines (overweight, traffic violations).
Blueprints and building materials.

Manual driving boost
Driving manually earns full XP. Autopilot cuts XP roughly in half — use it for the commute, not the grind.
