Improvised Vehicles

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

There's a lot of discussion about improvised weapons and other tools but no one seems to want improvised vehicles crafted from everyday items. 

 

With some basic know-how you can build a simple but reliable vehicle out of every day items found around the home or your neighborhood.  Small gas powered motors can be attached to almost anything with wheels.  Bikes are the obvious choice but anything can do.

 

 

 

 

This gentleman took a self propelled tiller and attached a small cart to it.  It may be loud and slow but it sure beats walking right?  It also has the some basic defensive capabilities.

Beans for such a "Ballsy" Post

 

I have been in favor of creating cars from scrap since the start. 

 

Cars only get put into the map if a player creates it. thats how I want it.

It would be cool, but seeing as how just about everyone is dead or infected there would be fucktons of vehicles standing around, and a modern mid-size car would use less fuel, be less noisy and more reliable than all three vehicles over. I'd prefer having a well-working system for customizing vehicles instead of building them from scrap, but I still like the idea

I like the concept, but a tiller/cart vehicle seems a bit far fetched. I think the extent of it should be taking a lawnmower engine, making a frame, and basically making a cheap half-ass go-kart until you get something better. Also, would like if instead of making vehicles from scrap, it be more of tons of modifications for existing vehicles. you could change out the tires/rims, add plywood reinforcements to the side, mount machine guns, add chairs in the back, change out suspension, you name it. It will be another way to put your own personal mark into the game, if you wanted to you could make a completely unique vehicle no one else has, or you could keep it looking fresh off the assembly line. 1 more thing you could use to show your playstyle, personality, etc. Would also be great for endgame content. Just imagine scouring Chernaurus for weeks, looking for that machine gun to mount to the back of your rusty old chevy. Then imagine the fun of driving around the map with your clan wrecking complete havoc anywhere you go.

I'd like to have useable wheelbarrows and shopping trolleys. Easy way to carry lots of loot, and I could role play as a homeless nutter with a trolley full of cans.

As a cyclist, I would definitely like to see different types of bicycles from parts.

 

Some parts would be interchangeable and some wouldn't, depending on the frame you have.

 

Maybe it's too much to ask for but it would be cool to build a hybrid with compression forks for some silent speeding through the woods.

Defensive capabilities? You want to use this poor pig as a butt (for bullets)? ;)

my word! is that powered by the pendulum swing of those massive balls?

I hope that one day we'll be able to build our own home-made vehicles using scrap parts. Anything is possible, even this Ukranian guy made a home-made gyrocopter out of what I can only assume is a combination of a lawn mower engine and parts from scaffolding.
