You're right about that, the R2 system works if you just want an everyday
car and don't want to spend ages designing it, or want to add some mods to
an existing vehicle.
BTW, what's the URL for your vehicle shop page? I lost it somewhere and I
need a program like that to update the various vehicles in PW net.books.
I'm sure as hell not going to do that without computer assistance... :)

That's just the biggest possible winch for a Body 4 vehicle. Take an APC
and mount a winch on that, see what it costs. For the APC from FoF it was
something like 2.25 million nuyen...
