My Summer Car Save File Location: Where is it
With permadeath elements, saving files in My Summer Car becomes all the more important! Not only does it save your progress, but it also includes your car customization, stats, item locations, and game settings. This makes managing and safeguarding saved files crucial, especially with the risk of data loss due to crashes or the permanent death feature, which deletes specific saved files when the player dies.
How to find the saved file?

- C:\Users\USERNAME Folder\AppData\LocalLow\Amistech\My Summer Car

If you do not see the AppData folder, most likely it is hidden by default. To access it:
- Open File Explorer.
- Click on the View tab at the top.
- Check the box for Hidden items.
- The AppData folder will now appear (greyed out to indicate it’s hidden).
And that is it; all the .txt files that you see inside the “My Summer Car” store your progress! These include:
- defaultES2File.txt – Contains most player progress and car details.
- graveyard.txt – Tracks deaths with permanent death enabled.
- items.txt – Records the location and condition of non-unique items.
- meshsave.txt – Stores the cosmetic damage of the car.
- options.txt – Saves game settings.
- trophies.txt – Tracks trophies won in the rally sprint race.
