I'm actually wondering, with the "melding with your car" aspect of
VCR's, why someone hasn't developed any adept powers dealing with
driving/flying/etc. Not to mention the potential of powers dealing
with horseback riding and the like... though we're perhaps getting
close to ED-esque adepts at that point. :)

There are probably no specific powers as they are trying to avoid character
cross-over. Adepts are pretty tough as they are. However if you use skill
enhancement powers you could easily achieve extremely high skill levels
(10-12) for driving and etc. for an adept. Riggers still have great
advantages, but that is their specialty.
