I was looking up stats for a vehicle that would be pretty ubiquitous in Seattle and was big enough to hold a team of armed Vory soldiers and I thought "hey, the GMC Bulldog. It's the stereotypical Rigger Van."
Then I look at it... What the chrome? It has an acceleration rating of 5/10. 5/10. By way of comparison, a Zuggsmaschine - that is, a tractor-trailer - with semi-trailer attached, accelerates at 5/20. The van will lose a drag race against a laden semi-trailer. An unladen one will smoke it. It's gotta be a misprint somehow, isn't it? I mean, that's crap beyond crap. The Evo Orderly - an anthroform mobility chair for elderly Japanese people - accelerates faster than that! |
