This is your garage. From this place you sign up for a race, go freerun mode where you can tune your car, hand out with your friends and other players, change your car to any other you have already bought, check your statistics and server rankings, check your car's current progress and change settings.
In NFS:SA there are five types of races:

Drag system is something completly new. It's just like in UG/UG2. Drags use manual gear shifting. Drag objective is to shift your gear in best rpm moment. You can change your gear too early, good, perfect or too late. How you change your gears is really important during race.

In Car Lot you can buy cars you have already unlocked.

You can also go back to your garage by going to Safe House. If you want to change your spawn location you can go to any other Safe House and next time you will spawn there.
