Its model name and number are Ferrari F50.

_________________________________________________________________

Object Bio - With a car this nice, you would think superheroes would leave it alone and go for the old beat up car next to it. But when villains are on a rampage and need something to chuck at the nearest do-gooders, they don't care how much your car cost... but that doesn't mean you have to sit still and take it!
_________________________________________________________________

-Type of Destructible Object-

• Base Clarification: Sports Car is a double-spaced Vehicle.
• Vehicle Destructible Object: See the rules for Vehicle Destructible Objects HERE.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q: Now that the Sports Car is a draftable VDO with a Points Cost, can I still build battlefields that start with it there as a DO?
• A: Yes. Even though the Sports Car can be drafted, it's not actually controlled by any Player until they have a figure in it. So it can still be used as a neutral DO on the battlefield rather than being drafted into someone's Army.

Can you change the title of the Car?

Can you designate it as a Vehicle DO? (look at other DOs)

Can we make the power work before, during, or after moving?

Why does text refer to Rental Car?

What toy car did you have in mind?

Do we want this as a generic "Car" or should all cars be called something specific, like "Rental Car"?

[Good Pig]

I wouldn't mind having a generic "Car" and then more specific car types like S.W.A.T. Van or Hummer.

That is my thought.

The question is where do we get these cars that are at the right scale & easily available & preferable affordable?

BTW right scale would be around 1:50 to 1:60, I think "O" scale (1:4 would be close enough though.

[IAmBatman]

Finding the mini is the number one priority.
Once we have a specific mini, I'd prefer a much more specific title than "car."
The text says "rental car" because Tickle copied and pasted it from me and I was trying to nudge him towards a more specific title than "car."
I think we'll ultimately have a few car powers we want to try out, so it'd be good not to have one car that stands for all cars.
I think the "right" scale for cars is ones that fit on two spaces. I'm not sure if that means 1:50, 1:60 or what not.

A matchbox car fits on 2 spaces but isn't the right scale.

[IAmBatman]

Would 1:50 or 1:60 fit on 2 spaces? That's what I'm trying to figure out here. Because if it's too large to fit on 2 spaces, I would argue that it's not the right scale.

I don't care 2 $hits about that. They are common, cheap, look great, and will work just fine.
