Clankenstein, you found an interesting package: a 1975 edition of the Motor’s Auto Repair Manual, Service Trade Edition for Domestic Vehicles. This allows you to possess the skill necessary to Repair all American makes and models up to 100%.[/quote]

So, the Iso might look Italian, but under the hood she’s all Detroit, with a Chevy L71 big-block engine.

What can be done, @Donald_Petersen?

83

Guess it depends on what’s broken. I’m assuming ol’ Clank is familiar with, say… 75% of your car’s systems.

84

Ah, but which 75%? If someone else were familiar with a different 75%, between them that might easily add up to, say, 100%.

~Clank slips the clutch and eases alongside Blazer @Donald_Petersen driving all embarrassed~

Blazer, if’n you got a minute…

Seems like me and… well, I don’t wanna name names, but a bunch of other drivers, well, we all picked ourselves up a kinda personal problem, if’n you know what I mean.

These dang APCs are humiliatin’ and debilitatin’

You got any idea how a driver’d go about gettin’ rid of a infestation?

I went down the tunnel to disable the motion sensors. Where was my escort? Hiding behind Burton. That’s where.

How about you see things my way. That goddamn dog blew my ride. Completely destroyed it. Cougar told you that you could kill it and part it out. What did you decide to do? You decided to bring it back and taunt me with it. What the hell is your problem?

Do you see the folks from the marina bringing back any pet squids? Nope, they are eating squid. Why aren’t we eating dog? Because you don’t give a shit that it wrecked my ride. It licked your face and wagged its tail so who cares what kind of damage the damn animal did?

You kill the dog and we start down a better path. It’s gonna end up dead anyway, at least this way you get the parts from it Cougar said we could salvage.

Back before the war, Heineken was by far the most popular beer in Little Saigon. Even though the Vietnamese imports (like the one I “salvaged”) cost less than Heineken… which may tell you something about how good they are.

Sounds like you’re paying two Union Mechanics, which, if everyone did it, might violate Union bylaws.

But let’s look here: Roaches and Screamers didn’t hurt you, and the explosion barely scuffed your paint. Nearly all your damage was incurred at the paws of that dog of yours. Are we to believe that Rex politely lifted the bonnet before chewing up that 427 of yours, and maybe the transmission (Borg-Warner or Muncie?), without doing any serious damage to the Italian carriagework?

Guess you should keep your eyes peeled for a Foreign specialist. And there’s always Stretch, whose auto-knowledge is what he likes to call “encyclopedic.”

How about I sell it to you?

Finally wakes up from his recovery nap… Has to walk his “Babygirl”, pet Pibble, (that’s a mutant Chihuahua + Pit-bull x-breed, that craps out twice as much as you feed her - everyone should have one its an excellent emergency fuel source!)

Upon encountering “Rex” the 2 dogs get crazy excited and make fast friends…(or Rex eats the Pibble because of the size difference, its up-to @daneel)

How much you selling it for?

92

Ah. It appears there’s been an…incident involving Rex and Babygirl, and, would you credit it, Rex came out worse. Much worse.

He might have been the dog’s bollocks in his shiny suit, but now Babygirl’s got his.

Ah well, I was always more of a cat person anyway.

What’s this FP salvage, then?

Kill the dog to find out.

Might be worth it.

Some of your fellow Drivers currently finding it a bit itchy in their cars might start thinking about how Rex got your ride so roach-free earlier, however.

Could be a revenue ssssstream there…

[pokes Rex with a loooong stick (long enough to be out of the range of any nasty surprise)]

Yep. Of course, I haven’t been watching Rex all evening, and he seemed hungry before he went for a walk, then not so later. Might be he snacked on some roaches, who knows?

Guess we’ll find out. Sigh. Pity. He might’ve come in handy somewhere. Had a hell of a nose for scrounging salvage, I’d heard.

Well, hell. Why don’t you unscrew that brain-bucket of his? It’s supposed to help your aim. As long as you wear it, I figure it’s good for an additional +3FP.

I think that sounds right up my alley. I need to make back exactly 12 so I’ll be coming with 3 LP after I get a few winks in and meet up with Stretch for a Repair Kit.

Howdy all,

There is a bit of narrative floating your way on the newly created Round Three thread. A bit of a cutscene, if you will.

Shopping and Missions will come your way tomorrow.
