I think Your problem is that Your cars95-file is write protected. Change
to the cars95-directory and type "attrib cars95.dat -r" to change this.

Sloppy QA on the patch.  The patch does not change the cars95.dat or
drivers2.txt files' attributes from READ-ONLY.  Just turn off the
READ-ONLY attribs and paint away.  However, the patch does not upgrade
the paintkit.  You can find the paintkit patch at
http://www.teleport.com/~mcarver/autosim.htm
