1982 (2014)
> x Barchetta (@ Barn)
The body of the Barchetta is a deep, rich red, the seats cracked brown leather, and the smiling grill a silvery chrome. The seats are set far back; the rest of car is dedicated to housing its powerful engine. The two seater doesn't have a roof. Feeling the wind is the only way to drive this car.
> x chrome car (@ North of Lake Davis)
The shine of the blocky car is nearly blinding in the sunlight. Its bulk fills the entire two lanes of the road.
Acid Rain (2021)
> x car (@ Inside Your Car)
It's your clapped-out Holden with the souped-up V8 engine. [either] The car key is in the ignition next to the steering wheel. Just turn the key to start it. [or] The car key isn't in the ignition. You'd better insert it if you want to start the car. [as appropriate] There's a knob under the dashboard.
> x car (@ Outside Your Car)
It's your clapped-out Holden with the souped-up V8 engine. Why don't you get into the car to get out of the rain?
> x car (@ In Front of Your Car)
It's your clapped-out Holden with the souped-up V8 engine. The bonnet is [closed or open].
> x car (@ Behind Your Car)
It's your clapped-out Holden with the souped-up V8 engine. The boot is [closed or open].
Apartment F209 (1997)
> x blue car (@ Parking Lot)
This is the car that brought you to F209, so you find it hard to get sentimental about it. It's merely your method of getting from point A to point hell. (It's a dark blue, 1995 Ford Probe, if you're curious.)
Bullhockey 2: The Return of The Leather Whip (2019)
> x car (@ Parking Lot)
This is the car you bought about three years ago. Beat-up, so it totally looks like you own it.
> x cars (@ Pick-A-Spot Lot)
Very expensive. A week's wage just for one of the floor mats.
Dr. Dumont's Wild P.A.R.T.I. (1999)
> x cars (@ Bumper Cars)
They're just cars you get into and drive around, bumping into the other cars in the ride.
Dreary Lands (2005)
> x car (@ In a Wierd Oblong Room)
Hmm... it seems you touched a hot-pink rod and got a hot-pink rod, for this car is truely the same color as the handle. It is an open convertable. you fell through the top on your way down here. It seems a very nice car, but not one to your taste; its shade of pink in both interior and exterior is almost gross in intensity, so that if you gazed at the hood long enough you'd probably get a brain tumor.
> x car (@ In a Perfectly Silent Field)
It's completely unrecognizable in its flames, your survival was a miracle. You don't need to worry about it blowing up any time soon; it looks as if it has already exploded.
Galaxy Jones (2023)
> x speeder (@ Speeder Dock)
Galaxy One is a Dust Runner, a top-of-the-line model from Olympus Speedworks. It's deep crimson with tinted windows. Powerful turbines adorn vestigial wings that sweep back in severe rearward arcs.
> x flyer (@ Penthouse Roof)
It's big and green and black. Looks like a Sirius XE.
Heated (2010)
> x car (@ driveway)
a 1987, brown Buick Le Sabre sits in your driveway. The front right headlight has been missing since you bought it, and random bumper stickers line the back. You only drive it during the day, because you can't afford a ticket.
> x car (@ side of your car)
It's your car, and it won't move.
Highland Chef (2001)
> x car (@ In Front of the Cottage)
Your rental car is just a little station wagon, but you only have it for a few days, and it's all you could afford.
Interface (2009)
> x car (@ Minuscule Garage)
It's a little foreign job in disrepair. You suspect there is more Bondo than actual metal from the looks of it. It is a testament to the smallness of the garage that even a little foreign vehicle takes up most of the available space.
Mrs. Pepper's Nasty Secret (2008)
> x car (@ At the End of the Driveway)
The car is an Oldsmobile, a boxy model that’s at least 20 years old. It’s slate-gray, and the rear fender droops at one side, as if perhaps Mrs. Pepper has succeeded in hitting something — or someone — with it.
Murder at the Aero Club (2004)
> x car (@ Car park)
It's your faithful car. You may as well leave the doors unlocked - you're hours away from any kind of civilisation.
> x vehicles (@ Car park)
The vehicles appear to belong to the various members of the flying club. Among the ones you can see from your position are a gleaming green Porsche, a dirty ute, a formidable-looking motorbike, and a dust-covered van. Many of the vehicles have "I Love Aircraft Noise" stickers attached to their windows. There's also your little car, of course. It's looking a little worse for wear after the gruelling eight-hour drive to get here.
Storm Over London (2014)
> x car (@ Mansion Courtyard)
The car was hopelessly stuck. I needed a tow truck.
