What Are Car Quirks in Pacific Drive?
Car quirks are random, chaotic glitches your vehicle can develop while exploring the mysterious exclusion zone. These aren’t bugsβthese are features. Your car might suddenly decide to honk for no reason, open its own trunk mid-sprint, or gently swerve off the road like itβs trying to start a mutiny. The more damage and exposure it gets, the more quirks stack up.
Youβll need to visit the Tinker Station in your garage to identify and resolve them. But knowing what to look out for can save you time and sanity.
