Ok not the particular car but how many of you let your characters get the high end cars? Now traditionally runners cars should be obscure blending in or heavily modded up with concealed wepaons or well. We all know, but do you indulge in luxury cars too. Maybe to blend in, maybe to run in like James Bond's Astin Martin DB5. Or something you keep on the side like Patrick Swayze's BMW in Road House- the nice car kept under cover while he uses a junker for work.

The second question would be, do you indulge in that fantasy you always wanted? That $200k car that you're never gonig to really get in RL without winning the lottery? Or maybe because common sense says you don't want to meet your hero, it won't live up or maybe it's just too damn scarey

A couple of years ago, for example I drove a brand new, less than 2,000 miles on the clock, Mustang. Got it on the high way and it crept up to 90 on me, oops, but the hard, wishbone suspension made the whole thing shake like hell. Independent suspension would increase the cost by $5k. More recenlty I've had my VW doing 90 on the highway, again, oops, and didn't feel the shimmy the way the tighter suspended mustang did.

I love my real life bike, a 1200cc HD sportster, but the 'dream' bike that would probably terrify me if I got it, is the HD V-Rod with the 125hp porche engine.
