LISS/STEPVR "brief" Vehicle census, partial

[Raphael Saltwood]

1) Zoyd's mystery ride, p4 (we find out later, or do we - it is not named here)

(and there's no mention of a morning shower, dirty hippie was part of the baggage in those days, many people were on friendlier terms with their microbiomes, weren't they?)

2) out-of-state Winnebagos on the 101 (p5)

3) six mobile TV units (p8)

4) the Corvairs (musical vehicle?) (p22)

5) motor-pool Plymouth (Hector at the Gordita house) (p22)

6) Elvissa up the hill's blown head gasket (presumably on her car so she has to borrow Z's)(p35)

7) Trent's Datsun Li'l Hustler pickup with camper shell, which Z borrows (p35)

8) 409 (in some kind of car courting death in the tule fog) (37)

-- OT interpolation: p37 - "Frenesi had ridden into his life like a whole gang of outlaws. He felt like a schoolmarm. (he was actually kind of a wildman himself, though) - and then again, on p39, "He smiled, squinting back, like a schoolmarm who still couldn't believe her luck."
What's with the "schoolmarm"?

9) GM's 5.7 liter V-8 Cadillac engine
("ill-considered mills" - cp dark satanic mills?)

10) "rare, legendary (some believed only folkloric) Edsel Escondido, sort of a beefer Ford Ranchero with a complexity of chrome accents, including around that well-known problem grille, now pitted by years of salt fog" (p44)

11) V&B Tow's flagship F350, El Mil Amores (p44)

12) Jikov 32, Skoda carburetor  (implying a Skoda) (p45)

13) "the pickup [Elvissa]'d borrowed that morning from Zoyd" (so is it a pickup of some kind, his anonymous ride?) (p47)

15) Tubaldetox paddy wagon

16) Smurfmobile (Z's affectionate name for Trent's camper)

17) "Billy Barf and the Vomitones Official Van, with elaborate nukehappy cyberdeath graphcs all over the outside and a ring of welded-together miniature iron skulls for a steering wheel" (p54)

18) "time machine" simile for the van as it drove off into the future with Prairie and the band (55)

19) airplane of uncertain make (Kahuna Airlines)(p56)
