So there you are, after hours of walking, dodging zombies and avoiding open fields because of snipers you finally find that sweet ride. That lazy ATV that takes you anywhere you want... road or dirt, the slower but quiet bike or that partybus you and your friends wanted for days. The only problem is 3 wheels are blown out and the engine is all busted up. You look around and see the road full of old wreckage and start dismanteling the parts you need, mount them on the vehicle you found and drive off in to the sunset

Wouldn't it be great if instead of having to scavenge old industrial buildings and little shacks or garages you could just, with a toolbox ofcourse, remove tires from old cars that are standing on the road. The same goes ofcourse for everything else. But then you could make the engine parts more complex (split it up in 4-5 little parts to combine into an engine). And ofcourse reduce the amount of wreckage that is standing all over the roads a bit to make it less easy. And ofcourse being able to dismantle the parts from your vehicle again so you might be able to combine parts from 2 broken vehicles to get one working.

Its always so frustrating to be in a little town with a flat tire, miles away from any decent building that will hold a wheel, while there are so many cars around me with perfectly good wheels on them and i can not even screw them off with my toolbox.

This would, in my eyes, add to the reality of the game ;)

Everybody wants more and more realism. Isn't the point of playing video games to escape reality?
