Title: Used Cars
Post by: Frankie the Fomori on <09-06-10/2140:32>
Good day runners,
 
Got a question on how you would price and handle used cars in PC generation? I am thinking that for some players starting out with a shinny 10-20 grand car is a little questionable at best. So the example would be my Troll is coming to Seattle, and had to ditch his high end gear, kind of like starting over... I could find the money for a new car, but am thinking a used beat up truck or van or something more fitting would work better?

Thanks for your time, have a good day chummers

Usually the tips, feet and lips. :P

That reminds me. I love me some scrapple. But it's hard to eat after reading the ingredients list.

MMMMMMMMMMMM Soy Chicken

Its not real chicken. No matter how much BBQ sause you put on it, it's NEVER gonna be real chicken.

Anyway, back on topic. It depends on your definition of "used". Taking it from that smuggler who just tried to geek you, well, it's free.

You think that's bad?  How about those guys with franchises all around the worst areas for the sprawl?  "Seattle's Finest Chicken" I think it's called.  I stopped eating there after I saw the local owner handing wads of cash to the leader of my devil rat hunting firm.  Ahhh... first jobs, don't you love 'em?

"chicken meal/chicken by product"

This is why my cat eats "holistic" pet food (no matter how much the price makes me wince). Little fluffmonster eats better than I do. I don't care what I eat so long as it tastes good, but I won't have anything less than the best (or at least, you know, identifiable) for him. Commercial pet food is the leading cause of kidney stones, urine crystals, and diabetes in animals, as well as the little-known-fact that MOST animals have grain allergies and pet food companies love to use it as filler (as well as corn, which no carnivore and most omnivores can't even properly digest). I fully intend on getting Galahad onto a REAL raw meat diet that -I- prepare so I know there's no like... roadkill in it. They do that, too. It's actually cheaper in the long run after the initial cost of the meat grinder and all that.
</rant>

Back on topic. I'm gonna have to pick up a used bike for Coderizon. I fully don't intend on that damn thing working properly. XD He's a bit ghettotastic. "Skipped off home early, running graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lock down, but less than you claim. And you're what? Petty thief with delusions of standing? Sad, little king of a sad, little hill."

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SUCH FUN WITH CODE DAD! XD I have a feeling Usda's going to be bashing the other elf and I into each other a lot to try and knock some usefulness into us.

I've got two. One has Serenity written in chinese on the front and a definition of Browncoat on the back. The second is brown, with Browncoat proudly written on the front and "I aim to misbehave" on the back. They are both required Convention shirts. ;)
