About the title: In the end page of a car magazine it talked about the Mille Migli (i’m probably spelling it wrong) it’s an Italian race and since the race was long and through the countryside people would paint on the side of homes and barns FORZA. which meant Go for it! or atleast that’s what I think it means since i’m not able to locate the magazine that had that end piece.
I’ll admit it sim racing is not my thing trying to find the right set up for a car seems like a daunting task for me, and yet I have all the console releases (Horizon 5 is just around the corner when i’m typing this)
Having got Forza Motorsport on the original Xbox (for cheap!) I was playing to see what all the fuss was about by this point I had played Sega GT (DC) and Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec (PS2)
I was playing on a Japanese mountain race and the sense of height on that mountain highway wowed me that’s my excuse.
through several games I keep buying the same cars either what I can afford or that I like.
with Forza Hub it’s made credits not being an issue, recently purchased Forza M 7
and with the gifted credits I started the game with ~16 million and i’ve had similar tales with other games in the series.
I was looking at my cars in the forza series and decided I needed to make them mine, how by getting a paint job! I probably spend too much time looking at paint jobs that will make my friends “That must be DaMan’s car” although quickly throw an anime girl on a car or whatever catches my eye granted even with player created paint jobs some cars can be pretty ‘bleh’ and since i’m no artist myself I just try to leave that to better qualified or skilled artists.
Forza Horizon 2 did not get dlc and there’s no access to player paint jobs 😦
Well to show that i’m not a collector i’ll show my progress and cars owned

designs can still be purchased but waiting for them to load takes time and some might not load at all, and you’re buying with in game money and pricing can get out of hand.
the designs are pretty small and trying to see a better view can lead to xb live saying try again later, while difficult its still possible unlike a few on this list.

Deseign storefront still available pics are smaller than in forza 3, still having issues loading designs , but if it loads you get a preview screen where you can look around the whole car.

Seems the design storefront is completely gone in the 1 try I had at trying to connect to it. EDIT trying to buy a design after buying a car got no results going in paint I was able to see, designs, but still not purchase.
recommended designs might work ,but searching for a style turns up empty handed.

while most Forza games are taken offline from sale after a few years the xb 360 is still available for sale. while the xb1 version is not.

Going forward i’ll try to put a link for my search because videos in the past have been deleted and saying video not found hopefully that will kill the deleted vids or at the least give options to someone reading this. usually its either History or evolution of a game series.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=History+of+Forza+games
this vid did not show forza horizon 5 and is actually the teaser for Forza Motorsport on series X/S
speak of the devil the vid I picked disappeared once again before I posted this.
I had Forza Street, but every time I tried to play it, it would just stay on a loading screen.

Its the other way around with the ability to design a paint job and alter a car’s appearance
you can put most cars, vans, semis into the game.
1 popular until toyota would not all it to be put toyota trueno 86 which you can find a paint job to turn the car into tofu delivery.
Movies once again you can usually put your own car in the game
that’s not to say offical movie versions have not made their way into the game series
from James Bond, The fast and the furious series. it really is the tip of the iceberg.
