there are lots of open world games with cars but not enough of them really have a focus on the car itself so much as what you do with the car
like, jalopy is pretty neat in that you have a single car that you must maintain and upgrade while driving it from place to place in a procedurally generated world
but most other games focus more on racing, stealing cars, building a collection of cars, etc. and it doesn't feel personal enough

i would be so into a game like jalopy but with AAA quality and a large open world, and more of an emphasis on living out of the car rather than spending every night in a motel, never eating, etc
like...a survival game where you live in your car and have to take care of it while running around doing errands to help yourself and others

i think it's still important to have lots of cars in the world to choose from as well as a lot of cosmetic stuff you can do to make the car feel personal, but ultimately there needs to be more of a feeling of attachment than in most games where cars feel disposable and cheap
