I'll leave it at that for now, perhaps commenting on notable differences later, and possibly improving the formatting.

As I mentioned, the new version seems to be intermediate. It does not go past 98.20% completed, but has the Muscle Car licenses fixed, and also has the correct spelling for the "Normal" Event Generator.

However, the car wash is still shown as costing Cr5,000 (although, like my original version, it really costs only Cr50).
