LISS/STEPVR partial vehicle census 2

[Raphael Saltwood]

25) DL’s “black ‘84 Trans-Am with extra fairings, side pipes, scoops, and coves not on the standard model, plus awesomely important pinstriping by the legendary Ramon of La Habra in several motifs, including explosions and serpents...[and] Neo-glasspack wind chorale, combustion shaped to music" (p105-6)

26) Che Zed, "overdesigned in every part" DL's motorcycle in Berkeley to the rescue (p116)

27) white Lincoln Continental Yakuza vehicle (p126)

28) hitchhiked (p128) pilgrims to Kunoichi Sisterhood

29) on foot (p128) pilgrims

30) late model Oldsmobile DL abandons while losing Wayvone's henchman

31) '66 Plymouth Fury (133) DLs vehicle for her abortive foray into normality, named Felicia.

32) long American automobile (137) drags her back to her career

33) one of Chipco's fleet of customized jumbo helicopters (145) jokingly equipped to make Godzilla-prints

34) Tokaido Shinkansen then 210-kph, now 280ish fast train (146)

35) [Found] a cab (149) hypothetical response of Prairie's to Brock Vond's offer of limo ride to brothel, which Takeshi had accepted & in 1984 in the course of recounting, asked Prairie, "...what would you have done?"

36) [rental] car - Takeshi in San Francisco, after a surprisingly amiable encounter with Carmine, who's become computer-adept (160)

37) the killer sub Unspeakable -- a metaphor for a beyond-sensitive topic in DL and Takeshi's conversation (174)

38) the Love Boat -- another metaphor, for a topic also afloat between them (174)

39) Rolls Royce, Mercedes (hypothetical vehicles for tow recipients, Vato & Blood discussing the personalities thereof) (178)

40) a Ferrari (a hypothetical vehicle perhaps conflated with Takeshi's head, whilst Blood is twisting it playfully) (178)

41) early-model toughmonkey Porsches (185) V&B had towed,
like this one maybe

42) dapper fishing vans sporting four-color trout murals and CB call letters in glittery stick-on alphanumerics (186) more towees

43) a truck piled high with smashed concrete (187) part of construction crew that delays V&B at the old WPA bridge near Shade Creek

44) a Toyota in the treetops (187) tow customer Weed Atman

45) Huey Cobras (190) among DL's requisites for a hypothetical raid on the Kunoichi Retreat wine cellar (I think, or else her estimate of what they're up against - hard to be sure here) --- oh, wait, I get it, Brock's myrmidons are attacking the Retreat, that's why they have to leave!

46) The Trans-Am under camouflage netting down among some alder (191)

47) Time machine (part of a joke routine of DL & Takeshi - "exactly a tenth of a second after the warranty ran out, the 'sucker blew, why they call it a 'time' machine, I guess?"

48) a loose low-visibility convoy of older midsize sedans, pickups with and without camper shells, an Econoline van for equipment, and a dinged and chromeless but nonetheless kick-ass Sting Ray that served as a high-speed patrol unit, among all of which they kept in touch by CB radio, still then a novelty on the road (195) - we got ourselves a convoy! 24fps that is.
