Cars! (and other weird, but non-fictional vehicles)

Ok, so here's an overview of all the fun vehicles mentioned in the book. my blogging platform has been giving me some issues trying to rearrange the list so there not really in any logical order. Images are just scrounged off google, I have no rights to them.

Make sure you check out this video of the 'ICBM Interceptor Kill Vehicle' I mention as being inspiration for Ellen's stealth pod later in the book. This is Regan-Era military-industrial complex engineering at it's best.

Nissan GT-R Nismo

- Boomer's ride.

Lotus Exige

- Ajax' dream ride.

Land Rover Defender

- Mentioned as an electric conversion Ellen hooks

onto while running a delivery in Staten Island.

used for neighborhood surveillance by the NYPD.

Global Hawk Drone

used by Homeland Security to patrol the skies.

NASA Enterprise Space Shuttle

Ducati Panigale

mental discomfort at it's grossness.

Audi R8

by Adam after they interfere with her delivery.

Ariel Atom

WW2 Aircraft Belly-gun

Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van

to shake down Destiny Indian Restaurant.

Chevy PT Cruiser (woodie)

imagine Ellen's mom driving. I don't think

this was ever a factory option either, just

a mash up of crap cars from her childhood

era and ones from mine in the 80's.

Shelby AC Cobra

- Mentioned by Gnochelli as a cool dream ride.

Rat-rod

- Max's ride.

Saleen Mustang
