These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

These Boots Are Made for Walkin' is a side job in. It is only available to players who chose the Nomad Lifepath, and features V regaining their car from the prologue.

Walkthrough
At one point after completing Ghost Town, V will get a message from your old car Thorton Galena 80845, revealing its geolocation in the Badlands, due south of the Medeski Fuel Station, within the landfill itself.

Head out there and check under the hood to see someone's been tinkering with it and it's still warm - someone clearly drove the vehicle recently. As you finish checking it over though you'll be approached by a woman, Lana Prince, who's both surprised and annoyed you're messing with "her" car.

Upon asking, Lana reveals that she is desperate to leave the city and has had enough of the wastelands and sees the car as her only hope to start a new life. At this point you can choose to either:


 * Threaten her to leave (she won't fight you but will call you an asshole)
 * Pay 100 eddies to buy the car
 * Give the car to her

Depending on what you choose, Johnny will respond accordingly, either baffled if you threatened Lana, comments on the car if you bought it back, or impressed if you gave it to Lana.

Journal Entry

 * Here you thought your old ride was totaled for good - yet here you are now. Like a phoenix from the ashes, it lives again. But how? Why now? You'd already closed that chapter of kickin' up sand with nomads out in the desert... But I mean, it'd be stupid if you didn't check it out... right? You never can underestimate the past. Because it sure as shit likes to take revenge.

Objectives

 * Go to the indicated location.
 * Scan your old car. [Optional]
 * Look under the hood.
 * Check the engine.
 * Talk to the stranger.
 * Get in your old car.
 * Talk to Johnny.

Trivia

 * Lana is voiced and modeled after Alanah Pearce, a former Australian game journalist and currently a writer at Santa Monica Studios under Sony. Pearce has stated that she did not have her face scanned, but rather provided photographs of her face to be modeled after.
