Bug (vehicle)

The Bug is a car introduced in Neo Tribes.

Sourcebook Description

 * Special Equipment: Headlights w/ IR filters, simple security system, long range radio w/scrambler.
 * Weapons: None Standard
 * Notes: If bought new, this vehicle would cost about 10,000. Most nomad versions are fifth- or sixth-hand and have been rebuild a number of times, so the cost is less, about 4,000eb.
 * Not coincidentally, "The Bug" is reminiscent of the "people's car" that so dominated the nineteen-sixties American automobile market. Even though the classic Bug was discontinued (in the U.S.) in 1974, it was manufactured in Central and South America until well into the Collapse. There are literally millions of these frames operating in various countries of the world.
 * Most Bugs have been completely stripped and rebuilt. These vehicles are extremely effective in the desert, as they are air-cooled designed. These is usually a light machine-gun mounted, if the area is known to be hostile. These are the most common scout vehicles, because they are very small, fast, maneuverable, and efficient. Outriders and pathfinders usually carry little in the way of equipment, preferring to live "off the land" as much as possible. The Bug, with its minimal cargo space, fulfills this requirement quite well.
