Elastomania! There is still an active community of players playing an online-enabled mod of this 15+ year old game over at http://www.elmaonline.net -- come say hi :D

Anyone knows of a simple simulator where you draw a bike/car (very simple model, just two wheels connected to the body by some simple lines, and then the model would run autonomously through a terrain, the purpose being to try and draw one that wouldn't crash or would go faster than your last successful one? I played it a lot some time ago (couple of years ago, I think), and never found it again.

I know the one. http://boxcar2d.com/ is similar (possibly based on the one you're referring to but it looks like it's been updated). Also this: http://rednuht.org/genetic_cars_2/

It was just like these, but you got to draw the vehicles instead of having them be generated.

Oh, man!

This gave me a massive wave of nostalgia.. haven't played Elastomania in an incredibly long time. Loved being a little kid and making giant loop-de-loops in this game.

Why did you make this now, of all times?

EDIT: Apparently there's still a vibrant community around this old game! Amazing! http://www.recsource.tv/r/vkrdyhlbzj

Can someone explain what's going on?

My jaw dropped when I saw it was Elastomania. Love that game!!
