Did you see the news The Crew is Shutting Down their servers in April? If you bought this game, and live somewhere where your consumer protection agencies might have teeth you could help this guy put up a defense against companies bricking games you paid for.

Does it come with the random fly that hits the windshield?

You'll play it, you'll go marginally faster than a bus, and you'll like it!

They should make it so you can find chaos emeralds and turn into super or maybe even “hyper” sonic to go double or triple the speed

Desert Bus was released as a protest game. In the 90s video games were demonized for being nothing more than violence simulators. Penn & Teller took that as a challenge and had some developers make the most non-violent game they could think of.
It was made as a novelty. The people who made it knew it was boring, that’s the joke. The main group that still actually plays it is a charity group who suffers through it while getting donations for Child’s Play charity.

Vinesauce Joel's playthrough of it is also very iconic

Joel also has a real-time flight from Sweden to Brazil in Flight Simulator that's very entertaining despite being several hours long.

Get a group of friends and drink while doing it?
Nothing interesting happens at a mall, pub, but people still enjoy those solo with friends.

I heard he only hits the speed of sound when he's rollin' around.
But part of the legacy of Desert Bus is that it was a big charity series that kind of set the stage for GDQ later in gaming history. A sort of virtual road trip.
So a lot of people have nostalgia for it.
