* CanadaEh: The game is set in a rural Quebec village and is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the lifestyle and culture. Two of your needs are even ''[[UsefulNotes/MapleSyrup maple syrup]]'' and ''poutine''!

* WhatAPieceOfJunk: Nothing is stopping you from upgrading the ''bazou'''s internals but keeping the rest of the car looking shabby aesthetically.

* ItsAlwaysSpring: With the caveat this is [[GrimUpNorth Quebec]], so spring means leafless trees and clammy weather. On the plus side this means you can always produce maple syrup (maple season is in spring, specifically when the temperature is above zero in the days but below zero in the night and trees wake up from their hibernation).

''Mon Bazou'' (Quebec French for "my shitty car") is an [[IndieGame indie]] SimulationGame (currently in early access as of January 2023) made by the French-Canadian developer [[https://mobile.twitter.com/santagoatdev Santa Goat]]. The game is set in a small village in rural UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}} circa 2005 and revolves around fixing and repairing the titular "bazou". Money is raised through various chores such as chopping and selling firewood, producing maple syrup, delivering pizzas, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick illegal midnight street races, fencing stolen radios and growing cannabis]].

!!''Mon Bazou'' provides examples of:

* TheAllegedCar: The ''bazou'', and also the pickup truck.
* BilingualBonus: Characters speak (and swear) in genuine Quebec French, and French writing is present on products or signs, but knowledge of Quebec French is unnecessary, as all relevant information can be displayed in English (or is fairly easy to deduce).
* BlandNameProduct: The coffee in this game is from "Tom Houston", instantly familiar to anyone who heard of Tim Hortons (a Canadian chain selling coffee, donuts and sandwiches).
* CanadaEh: The game is set in a rural Quebec village and is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the lifestyle and culture. Two of your needs are even ''[[UsefulNotes/MapleSyrup maple syrup]]'' and ''poutine''!
* CoolCar: What you want to upgrade the titular ''bazou'' into.
* FirewoodResources: Justified since most of your income (at least early on) comes from selling firewood to your brother, but building the sugar shack to start maple syrup production just involves stacking pine logs in a designated area until the titular shack pops out of thin air, none of the log being long enough to make the walls depicted in-game.
* RelationshipValues: Interacting with people raises you "friendship" with them, which can give you benefits. For instance Jacques, the shopkeeper, will let you access his scrapyard at 25 friendship.
* RiceBurner: If you focus only on upgrading the aesthetics of your ''bazou''.
* ShownTheirWork: The game's [[UsefulNotes/MapleSyrup maple syrup production]] is fairly accurate to the real process.
* WhatAPieceOfJunk: Nothing is stopping you from upgrading the ''bazou'''s internals but keeping the rest of the car looking shabby aesthetically.
