Thanks Bats! I'm excited to give the cars a try.

What specific movement is this? Is this just a free action you can do anytime?

I mean, it's definitely thematic to allow it.

Good question. I need to look at the rules as written for that one .... I assume it's the same as what you do to get in the car and get in the driver's seat to begin with, but we may not have laid that out.

[IAmBatman]

Doesn't look specified. I think we need rules for moving around within a vehicle. I think you'd basically have to use your movement to shift seats, though, and couldn't also drive that turn. At least unless another figure gave you a bonus move that you used to move into that seat (like Arsenal or something).

[Arch-vile]

Makes sense to me. We'll just have to remember to add that to the rules.

LOL, you obviously didn't know my friends and I when we were in high school. Lots of stupid stunts pulled back then for laughs. Good times! (that I was lucky to live through!)

Well it has no real chance of crashing the car in our version anyway.

Shouldn't there be a possibility of crashing a vehicle?

Only if an alien is driving the car, they wouldn't be able to figure out how our primitive technology works.

I mean, most of the time something crashes into a vehicle. Vehicles don't usually just crash into something unless the driver is a bit messed up.

I'm not sure how to integrate that into the mechanics either, particularly about one playtest away. That might be something to handle on individual vehicles better.

Push pedal, car go VROOM!!!

[Arch-vile]

The Sports Car already has the hit & run power which is basically a purposeful crash.

Maybe we can have a crash mechanic on a stick shift VDO.

Actually, any thoughts on how to write up movement within a VDO? I figure some will be as small as two or four passengers, but some will be much bigger, like the Mole Machine or even larger, so a catch all ruling for how to move around inside of them might be tough to write.
