Vehicle Shopping
By Lucian
Were you itching to own Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars? Well, you’re too late. But HTG Classic Car Dealership still has three vehicles in stock!
So why buy a vehicle? Well, there are a variety of car dealerships in HTG. There’s the tough to find Plan 9 Used Car dealership (pink rectangle directly below the Casino on the map) where you can find cheap vehicles ranging in price from three to four million. These ultra cheap vehicles will add $100,000 in free production money to every film you produce moving forward. And even a Red Mini will get you to the Book ‘n Brew for a latte.
I’m not sure who Rico is, but he has trouble keeping the name of his carlot straight. Depending where you look it’s either Rico’s Cool Cars or Rico’s Ok Cars*. Either way the selection is the same. Cars and motorcycles ranging from seven to ten million. But, unlike their cheap counterparts, these vehicles add $500,000 in production costs to your future movies and manage to look stylish while doing it.
Which brings us back to the Classic dealership. With only a maximum of four vehicles in stock (currently three) these cars are unique and each comes from a film or TV series. The twist at the classic dealership? “All cars add a free 1 million towards all the production budgets of your future films and an extra 1 million towards a specific genre (which will be revealed after purchase).”
So, what can you choose from? Well, motorcycle fans can currently pick up Steve McQueen’s Triumph from The Great Escape. This could add to crime movies or perhaps drama? Who knows until someone buys it? It will run you $18 million so you better hope you guess right.
A more conventional vehicle would be a Bond car, in this case from The Man With The Golden Gun. Could this add to Action movies? Or perhaps this is crime. For $16 million you can find out.
Anything but conventional is The Beatle’s Yellow submarine. This amazing device can be stored in conventional garage space and will run you $15 million. Since Yellow Submarine is both animated and a musical, it’s a fairly safe bet the sub will add to one of those genres but, let’s face it, would be flat out cool to own.
Tired of walking? Sick of having to give sign language directions to a cabbie who speaks no known human language? Then it’s time to get a car. Prestige awaits you.
* Editor’s note: The name of the car lot is both. It’s like Superman; he’s also the Man of Steel, right? And who is Rico? He’s a friggin’ idiot, gosh!
