Like any sufficiently complex game, SR has some awfully strange situations wherein the rules as written..Well, turn out silly in probably-unintentional ways. List them here for hilarity and future errata!

Sadistic Healing: Since one can only be magically healed once per set of injuries, sadistic band-aids can pour all their hits into reducing permanency time. This heals no damage and prevents the injuries from being healed by another mage.

Urban Off-Roading: The Off-Road Tires in Arsenal add 2 to Handling off-road and subtract 2 on the pavement - the latter explicitly cannot push Handling below zero. So. if you happen to have a vehicle with negative handling, driving through Seattle with off-road tires improves handling greatly.

Drag Scooters: The chase rules in general are FUBAR. They're nicely cinematic to an extent..Until a rigger on a Dodge Scoot stays glued to a Westwind's bumper, then they're just silly.
