A bike is best for getting around, however, you want at least one person on the team to have a van. As always, it depends on the kind of 'work'.

Or a Horseman PMV with chameleon skin, morphing license plate, and spoof chip. Passenger module for non-work, cargo or drone modules for runs, since the other members should have bikes or something.

Chrysler-Nissan Jackrabbit Knock-off.  The ultimate choice in blending into the sprawl since 2050.  ;D

Just modify it.  A LOT!

Still too conspicuous for me. I'll take a run of the mill Saab Dynamit.

My Troll-In-A-Suit rolled in a Rover 2068 with Chameleon Coat, Morphing Plates, Spoof Chip, Gridlink Override, Ram Plate, Run-flat Tires,  upgraded Armor and Passenger Protection, and two Shielded Smuggling Compartments.

I figure the Ram Plate is just a sturdier version of the "Grill Guard" type arrangements that a lot of SUVs have on their front anyway, and the armor upgrade only adds 2 more points, so it wouldn't be too obvious.

No more than Mr. Soft was when he stepped out of it, anyway.

The Wyrm: A Lotus-Banzai Ghost.  Think Citroën GT, and you won't be far off.  It was to a Westwind 3000 what a Westwind 3000 was to a Jackrabbit.

Hawatari: Depends on what time in her life.  A Suzuki Mirage while Riian is still very young; a standard sedan as Riian was growing, probably.  Mercury Comet or equivalent.  Once Riian was on her own vehicles, well, she would have gotten a used Jackrabbit or some such, while Hawatari returned to the speed bike.

White IC: ... there used to be an issue between electronics costs and vehicle value; it was particularly egregious on the Rolls-Royce APC.  Prairie Cat?  I think that's it.  Anyhow, you used to be able to acquire the vehicle, replace the electronics packages (mainly the ECM and ECCM) with ones one rating point lower (null space result), and be able to sell the APCs for almost what they were originally valued at -- and the ECM and ECCM for nearly a million.  With an extended hack set in order to structure 'ourselves' as individuals with valid end-user certificates, we exploited that fairly early on.  Even with a relatively low percentage (30-40%), if you go to several high-end 'loan sharks' and become beholden to all the criminal organizations, i.e. none of them, you could purchase 25 of the suckers and walk away with something like 12,000,000¥ while keeping one intact one for yourself ...

Shivowtnoeh: Ford-Canada Bison (the Buffalo's predecessor) with several drone racks.  I love Shivowtnoeh; only character I ever played who would set up meets in places you simply would not expect to find a shadowrunner ... or who would use spells in such creative ways.

Segway.

Seriously, one of my Missions characters regularly shows up to the meet with the Johnson on a Segway.

I have tried, but I just can't make myself do this.  Its hard enough to look cool getting out of a subcompact.  But a Segway?  Maybe if I modded one with a rigger cocoon for a matrix character and programmed the autopilot to drive around randomly, finding a stuffer shack every 8 hours so the guy could get off line, eat, and use the bathroom.  You just can not be a duster wearing, gun toting, chrome eyed bad@ss if you roll up on the gangers . . . in your Segway.

Maybe if you riced up your Subcompact?

OK, I just puked at the suggestion of that.  I wants me a muscle car in Shadowrun, damnit!

Heard about this one guy back home who was fall-over drunk.  His keys long since taken away, was told to "Take the bus home."

So, he headed to the street where the buses parked (We didn't have a bus station yet, Northern Ontario, 'nuff said), saw a bus with no driver (Coffee run), shrugged, and took it home.

Woke up to a hangover and the police banging on his door.
