perfect starter tier: this pertains to the diesel version of the golf, otherwise it would go into practical tier. these diesel cars are the perfect starters because there's 20+ liters of diesel in the basement, meaning you're set for a long time and won't have to worry about finding gas.

practical tier: these cars have a decent power output, with the wagon variants having a lot of space. the 2102 is probably the best example of a practical starter car as it's a very solid choice and can be used long-term. the beetle has an extra .5 liters of gas in the tank, meaning you can get just a little bit farther.

rough start tier: these cars take some investment. the piece of trash known as the dacia is infamous, the motorcycle is at least fun to drive, and the rest of the cars can have a much better engine installed.

useless tier: these are the worst cars to get saddled with and are best restarted on. the trabant is the single worst car in the game because A) it's air-cooled, meaning the only engine upgrade is the beetle which you might not find for a long time, and B) it's a 2 stroke meaning more maintenance and tedious refueling, and C) it has the weakest car engine in the game. the trabant can't climb hills, and i've had multiple beginnings where i was completely unable to play because the start had a huge hill the trabant couldn't climb. as for the moped, its existence is completely invalidated by the motorcycle.

doesn't spawn tier: self-explanatory. these cannot spawn as starter vehicles.

every time i see this attack it cracks me up

the old kelvin nacelles are just a spinning texture. it looked cool back then, but now it looks awful. i like the old konnie nacelle shape with the hood over the bussard collectors, but the old bussard animation is just too distracting to me compared to the new style.

pieces used: Protostar shirt/pants/shoes, TWOK belt, Odyssey 1 badge

surprisingly enough, i'm not the one who made it. it has some inaccuracies, but tempted to either find it or make my own version if i can't.

yes, it does away with the classic trident look, but as far as redesigns go, this perfectly fit the tone the show had and the time it came out. credit where it's due, the show tried something new with the Mach 5 by not following its predecessor, and produced a good-looking vehicle. it's sleek, modern, and even has wheel covers that slightly resemble old-school T180s like the Mach 4. on top of that, it takes design cues from the 4th-gen camaro, giving it a more sleek and aerodynamic look for the 90s. if the show had stuck with a racing focus instead of fantastical adventures, the show might have done better than it did.

the original Mach 5 is a classic, but the NASR version will always hold a special place in my heart for its sheer Cool Factor.

i call it the Magna Graecia class.

why have they given me this power?

i could probably add a few more details but this was the best I could do with the time I had.
