A lot of users with popular places use the industry's cars. It is common to see a vehicle from the car industry at places on the front page and so on.

Organization
The the automobile industry is organized in many ways. Most car companies are associated with each other, as the making of other companies was all inspired by the relationship of the three original companies Boidsie Motors, Avanta Car Company and AJ's Engines, Boidsie being the most historic and respected of these. Most main market companies have styles based on one of these three companies. A lot of car company owners were originally employees in one of those three companies. Those companies that are associated with each other are known as the main market. The largest of these include: ... and many more. These companies compete with each other in many ways, though it is friendly competition, unlike the aggressive competition of war groups. Car shows are held showcasing all the companies int the main market. Company owners do hang out with other competing company owners, discussing their companies, their progress, the rest of the industry, or just having fun.

Companies
A list of the most well-known companies, and smaller but well-known companies.

Main Companies:


 * 1) CF Motors: Set up in August 2010 to compete with Boidsie Motors by chequeredflag1, CF Motors has the most members and best customer service of all car companies. However, their vehicle quality and detail is exceeded by many car companies. CFs barely lag. Most CF car builders use the Avanta chassis. CFs do not have any special vehicle technology.

Auto Shows
The main market has had many planned auto shows, but none of them succeeded until May 2012. In April 2012, HKS23, owner of Roblox Motors Company, planned for an auto show to be held on May 19th, 2012, called ROBLOX Auto Show 2012, or RAS2012. HKS made three different floor templates for the entries, and many companies participated, though only the companies from the main market. On May 19th, minutes before the shows (9:00 AM EDT), HKS23 announced that the show was delayed for 30 minutes. A few minutes later, HK ragingly announced that it was cancelled, and that he couldn't stand ROBLOX freezing up on him anymore. Blueice506 then negotiated with him, and, since Blue had a $900 gaming computer with $2000 worth of upgrades, HK gave the RAS2012 account to Blue and Blue started working on it. He managed to get the place updated, but had to remove two car companies (Ikeda and AJE) to get it working. It was planned that KZ's stand, since it was the laggiest, would be removed on May 20th and replaced by RMC's stand. However, due to Blue having monitor problems, he unable to make the update and RMC, the company of RAS2012's creator, was not able to be at the show.

After the show, there was an agreement on who would hold shows. Blueice506 will hold the summer auto show, called ROBLOX Auto Show Summer 2012 (RASS2012), which will be held on June 16th or July 7th, unknown7890 will hold the fall auto show, called ROBLOX Auto Show Fall 2012 (RASF2012), which will be held in September, chequeredflag1 will hold the winter show, called ROBLOX Auto Show Winter 2012 (RASW2012), most likely in December, and HK will hold the spring auto show, called just RAS2012.

HKS23 has announced, though, that he is trying to decide on a name for his show, and Blueice506 will also do so.

HKS23, Blueice506 and chequeredflag1 have planned a rally racing championship to be held in the near future.

Contribution to Other Industries
Many companies in the ROBLOX automobile industry make vehicles for other groups and industries, such as war groups, technology groups, etc. Not all companies do so, however, so be careful when requesting.
