Yes, I know different PCs have different modes of transport that make them rock (one of mine works pt as a bicycle courier, the other is soon going to make Club Aurora a reality): but if you will, choose the one that you best remember with fondness through one of your PCs (be it due to a specific incident or just generally) - or maybe you might choose the one your PC dreams to have, one of these days?
And tell it! In as much detail as you like! (Apparently I'm over the poll options limit, so I'm reducing motorcycles, vans (campers and ATeam-style), non-hydrofoil watercraft, and fixed wings (VSTOL and VTOL) to a single category each, and combining some of the other categories. I know in advance I'll also have missed a category someone dearly loves, so I'll apologise for that in advance too. Just give it under "Other" and tell about it :)) |

A familiar spirit with a Yamaha Rapier form would do it for me… ;)

For one very short-lived campaign back in the day I had a character with a Bergen land train. Everyone chipped in a chunk of their starting money to help pay for it. The overall concept had to do with trucking across Australia for some reason. In retrospect, the economics of the campaign were laughable, but it was a blast having such a huge vehicle as transportation/team's home/plot hook. Ahh, fond memories.

Custom built car. Basically a Eurocar Westwind but with the outer shell/body of an Americar. Loaded up with four points of armour, armoured seats and tires. You had to use shotguns or anti-vehicular ammunition to scratch the thing. Also had a regulator on the engine so when it was on you got the same response and general sound levels as from a regular engine, turn it off though and you could floor it. Stealthy, hideously fast and manouverable with armour up the yazoo. :D

I'm a street shaman, a kid in fact (well he's about 20, which everyone else in my group insists is a kid, plus he looks younger than he is.)
I don't go anywhere without my skateboard. Athletics 5 Skateboarding 6 When the shit hits the fan, I cast levitate on the board and start doing some REAL tricks. Usually I get on the rooftops, enter the domain of the sky spirits, drop the lev (damned exclusive actions...) summon me a juicy little sky spirit, recast the lev and ask the spirit to grant me it's wings (movement), after that it gets ugly. Force 4 levitate (nothing fancy) with 4 successes X 7 magic rating = 28 meters per turn (3 seconds), multiplied by the spirits force (usually 5) which means I'm now cruising through the skies at speed 140 which is 168 km/h or for my American friends about 100mph, not too shabby for a skateboard. =) I also wear a glove with a electromagnet and 50 feet of cable on a microwinch. The trick is finding metal on vehicles, not always easy in this era of plastic and polymers. Only way to get around, baby. =) Sunday. |

Yeah. But the question then becomes, what do you put in the glove compartment? :) |

Drake Hardedge's (my longest running character) BattleCab .
Westwind 2099 (turbo variant and no that's not a typo) stats with a 1950's checkered cab body that was shot to hell, had a cracked windshield, a credstick in the rear driverside hubcap (emergency stash) and The Trunk. Don't even get me started on The Trunk. <Hears someone way in the back, whispering "I'm going to ask about the this trunk"> Ok, let's just say that it was a Trunk of Holding. |

It was a van, two characters lived in it, oh yeah and it had a mortar, and we had white phosphorous rounds. There's just something about that mortar.

Chrysler-Nissan Patrol-1. Quick and can pack a punch when it needs to. Oh, and if you're using Rigger 3, it's also easy to get :)

Nothing like the battle-'bago: a "used" rules Bison with a modest electronics bay in back, room for two orks, and a little moonshine still bubbling away in the back (rickety tin chimney coming out the side and all). True to outlandish form, the burning question when Rigger 3 came out was "are there rules for designing an apparatus that will convert the 'bago into an LTA craft." Nothing like beating traffic by deploying an enormous helium filled skin and sailing off. Sadly, this ridiculous notion never came to fruition, but one fine day...
When Gritz (the 'bago's owner) came back as a powerful NPC, the 'bago had been suped up with a robotic arm, roof-mounted storage space, slick new anti-theft kit, and ruthenium (the default pattern for which was a large confederate battle flag-- quoth the players, "Gritz, can you please change the color of your van? Please? To anything else? PLEASE?!?!?!?") *Waiting for Namer18 to post, because he already knows the answer, and no one is going to like it* |

I'm with Sunday on this one. Levitate. :P Except mines at a speed of 72 (86 KMH or 54MPH).
Though, Shapechange-Falcon, is a really nice mode of transport also. :P Sphynx |

My long-time rigger character has what can only be described as a stretched (as in limo) semi truck. The idea was based off of one I saw on I-44 years and years ago. It made a nice team vehicle and base of operations from which to do all sorts of things. Also, since he was a dwarf it still had room for a sleeper compartment!

I reduced it to 4, because otherwise it was too good. |

Minivans, Ben. He's going to make minivans...
I'll go for the spell-locked levitate along with a great knowledge of the cities sewer and utility tunnels. |
