Nice. Also, since my Piccolina doesn't sip much gas, I was thinking that we could modify it to our needs… Maybe make a buggy kit for it that we could install on the go if needed, or a Street setup... --- Post updated --- Should I repaint it?
(I was thinking for a while to join this, but only now i actually am, i am going to do the same as brien_w did and use my rp thread guy (that this is an alternate universe, and 10 years later)) Name: Harry Johnson Age: 45 Cars: A rusted bluebuck Location: East coast USA, currently in the blue house near the body of water —————————————————————————————————————— Here i am, thinking to myself, in an old house near some water. Luckily i found a fishing pole and a lighter here, cause without them, id probably not be here anymore. It doesnt help that this old rustbucket i found uses more gas than a drag car. I grab my fishing pole and try to catch a fish. After a lot of splashing, I manage to catch it. I start up a little fire, and roast the fish. They kinda lose their taste after this time. The amount of fish is also going down, at a high pace. Im going to have to find something else, cause i dont think i can stay here for a lot longer.
The hopper we have is a really good gas sipping off-roader. It might be cool to turn it into a buggy, or we could just keep it stock as those old Piccolinas are really reliable.
SHould I What if we try to find more piccolinas? Then we could have a buggy, a street prowler and this rally one. --- Post updated --- For the street prowler, we would only need a 130B and add in better tires and a propped decklid. It improves coolingans aero, but makes the engine more visible and thus more vulnerable to gunfire. I think the piccolina 130B is nimble enough to shake off any pursuers, though.
How many cars do we want though? And where would we find them? --- Post updated --- I’ve also put everything we’ve gotten in the house. We have enough pistols for everyone to have one, so that’s good. We also have a lot of assault rifles, but carrying those around would be a pain. I’ve also been getting some radio transmissions from a place somewhere in Firwood, so I’m going to check it out. Might be another guy to add to our camp.
I hear an engine outside. Going for worst case scenario, I take my gun with me. As I walk to the window, i hear the wood creek. I havent even thought about how this house hasnt been maintained for years, and i should probably get out of here. I see a red hopper outside. I slowly open the door. “Hands up in the air!” I shout, with my hand shaking. I see a figure that vaguely looks like @brien_w , and slightly lower the gun, but I dont yet put it away.
Hey, calm down. I’m not gonna shoot you if you don’t act stupid. I have a community not too far from here, and you can join us or not join us. I really, really, recommend the first option though. You don’t want to be against us.
Great. I think we’ve got to start taking the gasoline from our less used vehicles, as it’s getting harder to find. I’ll go out on a trip to find some soon, but let’s be more conservative for now.
“Ok ok, sorry, ive had some trouble with raiders before, so im kinda cautious now.” “Anyway, a community huh, i could probably use some more people, and i have to get out of this house anyway, since its almost falling apart. Before we go, do i need to bring anything with me?”
“Ah ok. To be honest, you look like someone i used to know, but im not particularly sure.” I go inside the house, and grab my fishing pole and lighter. “So ive got a fishing pole and a lighter here, nothing more thats valuable. As for the car, it has some fuel left for emergencies, but the car itself doesnt have anything usefull anymore, its mostly rusted.”
Okay, I guess we can leave the Bluebuck here. That gasoline is probably the best that will come out of it. We’re heading to this old farmhouse, and there’s two other people. We’ll find you a suitable car, we’ve got quite a few.
“Yeah, this old thing doesnt have anything usefull, and i was thinking about getting a more fuel efficient car anyway.” “So, these other guys, can you tell me a bit more about them?”
Well we’ve got one guy, his name is @Cool12345 . I met him while trying to chase down a weird guy who wanted to kill us. Then there’s @hugotronix04 , which I met while killing some guys who ditched me a while back. They’re cool guys.
“They seem nice. Anyway, I am Harry, a car mechanic, used to own a shop, but since the apocalypse happened, i didnt have much time for anything related to repairing, except the repairs to the barely running bluebuck. So, who are you if i may ask?”
