You can include a car in the lifestyle as long as it is of
no concern for the game. Most of the upper Shadowrunners
have more than one car for different occasions(IMHO). My
mage have a high tech Eurocar Westwind with armor, a normal
Honda GM, a simple van which I plan to improve and at last a
500 Y trash car for a trip to Redmond (always hoping to
return by other means than by foot).
I don't think that you have to track your clothing if you
don't get shot every 3 days. Another exception of course is
a meeting with Mr.Johnson in a noble restaurant if the
runner doesn't have of a lifestyle of high (or better (who does?)).

Another question:

A lifestyle of street/squatter assumes that the runners are
some of these brothers (if they don't have a second better
lifestyle). As I would judge such a lifestyle it includes
theft and problems with Lone Star. What do you think?
