Cars and motorcycles help you get around New Haven. To obtain a car you need
to use the garage command, see help garage for more information.<\/p>\n

Vehicles may be of one or two types, and of five different quality levels.
Vehicles of two types cost twice as much to obtain the same level of
quality. Each type conveys different bonuses. These quality levels are
seen as junker, economy, standard, high and excellent quality.<\/p>\n

Vehicles are paid for every week, the default value is 0.5% of the
vehicle’s value, but those with multiple vehicles garaged may pay less for
their extra ones if they aren’t being loaned out, with the discount
increasing based on the owner’s wealth stat.<\/p>\n

Once you have a vehicle you can use it with the drive or ride commands, and
can use park to stop your vehicle prematurely, drive slow to slow down, or
stall to pause in your travel where you currently are.<\/p>\n

Vehicles have to be driven from the point they were last driven to, if the
vehicle is new or their location is invalid for some reason they can be
driven from any intersection.<\/p>\n

Vehicles have stashes inside them accessible from their last driven to
location.<\/p>\n

Damaged vehicles repair automatically, but are unavailable until they are
repaired fully.<\/p>\n

Characters who hide in the same room as their vehicle will gain a stealth
bonus to represent their stake out.<\/p>\n
