Subject: Comic Moments:In the short time we'd had a car
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 1996 12:26:29 GMT + 2:00
Well, I think that we managed to break all records for the ownership
of a vehical. Situation, we get given a mission and have to do a
little survillance. On the day that we start our survillance we
recieve our 'brand spanking new, fresh out the factory' car, one of
those six wheeler landrovers. We drive to the point of survillance
and the mage casts clairvoyance. A nearby free air elemental in
league with our targets rolls a friggin' 38 for perception, notices
the spell and comes after us. Five rounds, two elementals and 3
unconscious bodies later the car is trashed way beyond repair in the
middle of a highway, by the end of round 6 it has been torched and
said runners are waiting for Doc Wagon to appear before Lone Star.

Overall we had the car less than 1/2 an hour. Taking into account all
the costs etc that car cost us about 4,000 Y a minute. Before that
moment all we had was a very very very old beatup rundown (2,500Y on
sale) fifteenth hand van, and now we're back to it. ;)

Hm, no parking problems, I assume?

But what do you do when you want to drive downtown? "No, Mr. Officer, this
REALLY is NO military vehicle at all, Sir...?"
U-Gene, watch out: Many plots may spring here! :-)

:::::listening as everyone makes jokes about me driving my APC downtown::::

well I never said that I drove it any where yet, it is actually sitting in the
Kernal's garage(it's big.....the garage) and all I did is drive it home....I
guess you could say I'm like one of those survivalist guys, if I evere need to
survive long enough to go downtown to get a burrito, I have my APC to get me
there, I mean why bother even trying to be sneaky with an APC,that's no fun,
you need to go barreling down the streets crushing things left and right!!!!!

Yeah, but if all else fails, you can sue McDonalds for making
their coffee too hot...

Heh-heh, my rigger went out and stole a Banshee. I hide it in the Barrens
(where I live by the way). I don't have any problems with gangers anymore.
