I figure that there's a lot of little featuresthat the
Rigger's Black Book forgot to cover. So I'll put my favourites.


#1. THE SELF-EXTENDING CROWBAR

Have you ever been pulled over by Lone Star highway patrol and
asked to pay a parking fine? Doesshooting regular grunts boreyou? Well
what you need is the all new SELF-EXTENDING CROWBAR!!!

Conveniently placed in the standard LoneStar Booking location, it
comes out at speeds exceeding 70kph! Yours for only500 nuyen. (Wow)

DISCLAIMER:This will not work on female patrolpersons.

#2. THE INCREDIBLE STUNFIELD!!!!!

This nifty device entails an iron veneer on your vehicle,and
whendesired, an electrical charge is sent through the lines. Just the thing
to stop those ghouls from pushing your car over. ZZZZZZAP.

Costs as much as you want.

#3. THE AUTOMATIC ROTTEN TOMATOLAUNCHER.

Yes, the latest in relatively non-lethal vehicle weapons. Great
for getting past those O.R.C. Protesters!! VEry discouraging. Breaks the
ice at parties.

Cost: Who really cares?

#4. MUSICAL HORN


Instead of secondary controls, how about a little keyboard coming
out of the glovebox. Just imagine playing Saul's death march on the
pan pipesynth whilst firing a great fragging Anti-Personnel missile.
Ahhh.... the memories.


If anyone seriously wants to use these, see a doctor
if pain persists.

Weld a foot of steel on the end, and sharpen it... it'll work well enough.

*shrug* I've got a MIDI-capable stereo in my car... on long trips, I plug
in my laptop, and play around with various pieces. Will that do?
