Open the Store control (a yellow icon on the left HUD under Spawn — some guides show a tickets button bottom-left), go to the Codes tab, and enter ThanksFor940k exactly as printed. Codes are reported as case-sensitive, and pasted spaces break them. Full walkthrough on the codes page.
Head to the dealership by the spawn point — most vehicles are bought with in-game money, and the official page names no required first buy, so start cheap and learn the feel. If the start screen offers a map choice, pick one and note you cannot swap mid-match. More on the maps page.
Drive and earn cash: weave through traffic no-hesi style when you feel confident, or cruise calmly — both are official playstyles. Playtime rewards add free cash just for staying on the road, and races against other players are there when you want them.
Concrete targets: win one race for the Win a Race badge (optional, not required), customize your ride at the shop beside the dealership, and start the long climb toward the Richie badge at 1,000,000 Money. Vehicle advice lives on the vehicles page.

Beginner FAQ
Quick answers that come up while working through the checklist.
Official copy supports several ways to play: races, regular drives, exploring with friends, and meetups. Choose the route that fits your first session.
The official description names no starter vehicle or recommended first buy, and this site does not invent one. Test the handling before you decide what to buy next.
No. VIP is an optional 200 Robux convenience with a 50% cash boost; the free 25% group boost and playtime rewards carry you without it. Compare them on the boosts page.
Vehicle customization on touch requires the separate Mobile Customization pass (75 Robux). It is called out on the gamepasses page.
