Totally fair. My go to gag for that kind of comment is "well it's only in early access" :)
It is very much a sandbox where you have to make your own fun. I personally like to just hop in and drive around because I reckon it has the best feeling force feedback and driving physics in any simulator available. And the fear of crashing is real, especially in VR.
I can recommend Jimmy Broadbent's Beamng videos from over the years. There's some wild and wonderful scenarios on there.
