Preliminary Reviews Part 1

12th March 1978 10:33 AM| California, EagleHeart’s crib
aka Buddy’s house
It was a hot Californian morning, the neighbour’s dog barking at the squirrels again, a fan wirring in the background.
“It’s never fucking quiet around here” thought Buddy as he sorted the brochures that had been scattered by the fan. It was then when Jack lumbered down the stairs.
“You’re up early” Buddy noted.
“Yeah, well I don’t want ya’ to pick a shit ride now do I?” snapped Jack, “Where’s Mac?”.
“Mac? Oh he’s gone off to drag Steven out of Marcholo’s drug den.” replied Buddy, “Crazy bastard just spends his days snorting coke and chugging booze, it’s a wonder he can still perform on stage”.
Just then the door slams open, with Mac carrying Steven over his shoulder.
“A…are we fuckin’ doing this shit or not…” stuttered Steven, still slightly inebriated, “…Right then, since we’re all here, lets fucking go”
Anhultz Mimas
Bud: First off, we have a pretty big sedan, the Anhultz Mimas
Jack: Never 'eard of em, but it don’t look bad.
Bud: Yeah, has 5 seats, sips fuel, and its pretty cheap. Not sure about the 5 speed manual and the turbo though.
Mac: Looks like we’ll need a trailer for it though. I know old Gus has one sitting around, could get him to flog it to us if we need to.
Bud: A keeper?
Jack: Yeah sure
IP Highway Star
Bud: Next is the IP Highway Star
Steven: Looks like shit.
Jack: Eh, it ain’t that bad. And it looks like its got a ton of space to put shit in.
Bud: Yeah, it’s got plenty of seats and space. It chugs a bit more fuel that I would like, but it’s got a carb so that’ll be easy to fix.
Mac: I dig it, don’t even need a trailer so it should be cheaper on the wallet.
Bud: I guess we keep this one then.
Genra GVC Combi
Bud: This ones the Genra GVC Combi
Steven: God, it looks crap. I would rather be seen with Stacy’s mom than in that shit.
Jack: You know for once, I actually agree with you there.
Mac: Looks like shit, but everything else doesn’t seem to bad. Plenty of space, plenty of seats, not to bad on the fuel.
Bud: Still has a carb too, should be easy to repair. We should at least check it out.
Mitsushita Space Dragon
Bud: This one is the Mitsubi…Mitsushita Space Dragon
Steven: That sounds fucking badass, thats the shit I want.
Jack: Looks great and looks like it has plenty of space in the back and even has 5 seats. I think this ones a winner.
Mac: No it ain’t.
Steven: Fuck off Mac, you can’t tell me that this is shit. IT’S A FUCKING SPACE DRAGON
Mac: And who the fuck is doing the maintainence and repair. Oh wait it aint you dipshit. Look at it. Mechanical Fuel Injection. If this thing breaks down in the middle of fuck off nowhere we’re screwed.
Steven: Well we’re fucking checking it out anyways Slams brochure into the ‘good pile’
Mac: Yeah, we’re not. Tear’s the brochure up
Steven: Dick. I’ll fucking buy one anyways.
Luxor Centipede
Bud: Alright guys calm the fuck down. Here’s the next one. It’s…it’s a limo.
Steven: Fuck yeah, now thats some good shit.
Jack: Hold on a second. Even with a trailer there isn’t enough space to fit all our crap in.
Steven: Aww piss off, just strap the shit that dont fit in onto the roof.
Bud: How much was your strat Steven?
Steven: Four months of my salary, why?
Bud: Cause if we get that car, thats the first thing thats getting strapped onto the roof.
Americar Elegance 662
Bud: Right this one is the Americar Elegance 662 and…
Mac: Fuck me is that a 662CI V8. That’s some good shit right there.
Jack: Dude, have you seen it’s estimated fuel eco? It’s shit. No way we’re gonna be able to stay on the road with that.
Steven: Lets not forget that it looks like shit too.
Mac: Ah, damn. Yeah I guess thats going in the bin too.
DAAG SW20t
Bud: This one looks promising. It’s German.
Steven: Ooh la la, va va voom.
Jack: That’s French dumbass.
Mac: Yep, plenty of space and seats and sips fuel too. Pretty good for a van.
Bud: In the good pile it goes then.
WM Valhalla Quad Targa
Bud: Next is the WM Quad Targa. And I would like to say it looks piss ugly
Steven: Yep, a pile of shit looks better than that.
Jack: Definitely
Mac: I’ve seen worse.
Bud: Well apart from it looking pretty bad, it doesnt chug that much fuel.
Mac: It has only 4 seats though, and it does look pretty bad.
Steven: Yeah thats going straight into the bin.
Monado Excursion
Bud:Right, this one is the Monado Excursion.
Steven: This one looks good.
Mac: Yeah we’ll need a trailer for this one though. Also only 4 seats?
Jack: Yeah, not sure about that. The fuel economy isn’t that bad though. But man, that isn’t alot of space for people in there.
Bud: So in the bin?
Mac: Yeah, shame since it looks pretty good though.
Just as they were about to move onto the next set of brochures, the doorbell rings. “I’ll open the door”, said Steven, “You guys continue looking at the other crap”. As Steven opens the door he’s greeted by two police officers. “Mr Steven Dare?” spoke one of the officers. “Aye, that’s me, what’s up officer”. “You’ll have to come with us, we received a call about you being drunk and disorderly from the bar last night”. “Ah piss” uttered Steven…

I thought you only needed 4 seats!
EDIT: Americans don’t say “bin”
Have you read other CSR rounds?
I never said anything about needing only 4 seats. Sure it’s a band of 4 but you gotta have space for extra groupies people.
I thought that’s why we needed 3000 liters of cargo space 
Full disclosure, mine only has 4 seats (I thought the same thing), but the difference between 4 and 5 was something like 5 comfort points. However, mine can haul and tow 1000kg, plus there’s a roof rack, so you know you could fit a hot tub in there

Mine only has 4 seats because it’s a hearse………
Plenty of groupie room in the back…did I say groupie? I meant “equipment”!

It was a late Tuesday afternoon when they finally Steven finally say the outside world in full.
“Im FREE!” shouted Steven as he left the police station
“You dumbass. We wasted an entire fucking day because you you” yelled a familiar voice.
“Guys…I…I haven’t seen you in so long” Steven cried as he crawled towards the voice.
“You were stuck in the station for a day, you idiot, lets go” snapped Jack.
Back in Buddy’s house, they went back to sorting out the brochures.
GVC 7830
Bud: Seeing as Steven is now back with us we can begin
Steven: Smoking weed Wut?
Bud: sigh Right, this one is the GVC 7830.
Jack: That’s a strange name
Mac: Looks plain and boring…hold on. Am I reading this right? DOHC? Yeah sorry no we aint getting that, repair costs are gonna be sky high.
Bud: Into the trash she goes then.
Albatross V200
Bud: Right this one is the Albatross V200
Steve: In puke green. No way am I getting in that
Jack: Seems alright, has plenty of seating.
Mac: Hmm, it’s rear engined so working on it is gonna be a fucking pain.
Bud: Well we’ve gotta check it out at least.
HRM Amador
Bud: The next one on the list is the HRM Amador
Jack: It’s… very red, but I like the styling
Mac: Seems okay, has a carb so it should be easy and cheap to work on.
Steven: Only 4 seats? Where the hell are the groupies gonna go?
Bud: Hmm true…sigh thats a shame, was looking pretty promising too.
Bogliq Mutineer
Bud: It’s everyones favorite blue machine. It’s a Bogliq Mutineer
Steven: Love these cars. They’re shit but they’re great fun.
Mac: And it’s going in the trash.
Bud: Aww come on Mac, you can’t throw it in the…
Mac: Mechanical. Fuel. Injection.
Joplin Hendrix Hearse
Bud: This one is apparently a hearse…not sure what that’s implying, but okay.
Steve: What the fuck is that?
Mac: Looks like shit.
Jack: They say Hendrix’s cousin was seen in that? Like hell she did.
Mac: Also why the fuck is it so high up off the ground? Loading crap into that is gonna fucking awful.
Bud: And it has only 4 seats…yeah into the trash.
Star Journeyman
Bud: Right, what we’ve got here is the Star Journeyman
Steven: Doesn’t look too shit.
Jack: Why are the wheels so tiny? It would look better if the wheels weren’t so fucking small.
Mac: DOHC again. Into the trash it goes.
Respect FriedUp 2.0E
Bud: This is the…uh…Respect FriedUp 2.0E?
Steven: What moron calls their car that?
Jack: Well apart from the name, it doesn’t look too shabby.
Mac: cough This thing has some fancy ass rear suspension. It’s gonna be a bitch to sort out if it goes wrong.
Bud: It’s going in the trash then.
Bush Cargo
Bud: This one is the Bush Cargo
Steven: Man it looks shit.
Mac: Has some charm.
Jack: Oh wow, this one is the cheapest by far.
Bud: Yeah, pretty decent. 6 seats, a carb and decent fuel eco. It’s another keeper.
Popas Rushba
Bud: The next one is the Popas Rushba.
Steven: I fucking love it.
Jack: It looks really neat, especially for a Russian car.
Mac: Cheapest to service too. It would be perfect…except it has 4 seats.
Bud: Damn. Was a good car too, into the trash it goes.
“Well, now we’ve got all these cars sorted, I guess the next thing to do is to go test em.” stated Buddy.
“Anyways lads, its almost 9, and I need to go down to the bar. Anyone gonna join?” asked Steven.
“Yeah fuck it, lets go…”

Ouch. Instabinned
So, after a long period of deliberation, it turns out my hunch about the band’s preference for mechanical simplicity is true.

I don’t understand why groupies need seats. They’re gonna be on their knees, then kicked to the curb as soon as their done. WTF kind of weak sauce Rock Band is this? I hereby instabin this CSR

Albatross Motors would like to assure its customers that its vehicles are available in more than the one color shown on the brochure. Please see your local Albatross dealer to learn more.

Likewise, the Genra GVC Combi is available not just in black, but in several other exterior colors as well. I only went with black because it would seem more menacing.
This round, however, will be remembered for a low turnout - 18 entrants is the smallest field we’ve had in a while, but at least I still enjoyed it regardless, even if I don’t win in the end.

16th March 1978.
It was a surprisingly dreary Thursday morning. Mac and picked up Steven from the bar and Jack got into his aunts old beater.
“Oi, lets get going” yelled Jack, “we’ve got six cars to go and test so lets go.”
Getting into the cramped car, they drove to the first dealership, Anhultz Pasedena.
Anhultz Mimas
Jack: It’s pretty roomy inside and theres a fair amount of space in trunk.
Mac: Looking around theres nothing that ain’t too out of the ordinary. Except for that undertray. That’s gonna be a pain in the arse to remove when repairing and for whatever reason, it has a massive air duct underneath the car, although I guess that does help the reliability.
Bud: Lets take it for a spin then…
A couple of laps around the block later
Steven: It’s pretty comfy and looking at it in person, it certainly is good looking. Not as good as the SpaceDragon though.
Jack: Are you still going on about that?
Bud: And easy to drive, but it takes an eternity to reach highway speeds.
Mac: It’s pretty barebones but I guess thats what makes it one of the cheapest, although we still need that trailer.
Bud: Well lets move onto the next dealership.
It was a short uneventful drive to the next dealership, IP California.
IP Highway Star
Steven: You know what, it doesn’t look too bad when you’re standing in front of it.
Jack: See, I told ya, aint too bad. And there’s plenty of space for us and even more in the back.
Mac: Those back doors make it real easy to load too. Though its gonna be a tight fit to get all our gear in there.
Bud: Well, hop on in then…
A couple of laps around the block and a near crash with a truck later
Jack: That was bloody close, and you’re out main driver.
Bud: Look, it wasn’t the easiest to drive you know. Besides, if it weren’t for my driving we’d be all dead. This thing doesn’t have that high of a safety rating.
Mac: Besides that, the ride wasn’t too bad, though I would say its pretty expensive for what we’re gonna get.
Steven: Alrighty, onto the next one.
The Genra GVC dealership was just down the road from the IP dealership so they group decided to walk there instead.
Genra GVC Combi
Steven: No, even up close it looks pretty ugly.
Jack: That rear is pretty plain and doesn’t look like it can be opened.
Mac: If thats the case, loading it is gonna be a bitch. At least the side door is pretty big.
Bud: I guess the next thing to do is to test it out on the road.
They drove the van up and down the road until they were told to go back by the car dealer
Bud: That was easy to drive. By far the easiest driving car of all that we’ve looked at so far.
Jack: Easy to drive yes, but it was fucking hard on my ass.
Steven: That was not comfortable. At all.
Mac: That being said, its one of the cheapest vans. If only it looked better.
The DAAG was next up, with their signature German styling.
DAAG SW20t
Steven: This. This is good.
Mac: Plenty of space, easy to load, especially with that rear hatch.
Bud: One of the best fuel eco, comfy seats, this is almost the perfect package. If only it wasn’t so expensive to run and purchase.
Jack: Time to take it for a test ride then…
Weaving through traffic, they drove the van onto the highway before coming back
Bud: My god. This van. I love it. It’s so easy to drive.
Mac: The ride in the rear was pretty good too.
Steven: Plenty of space for other crap too. Guys, we have a winner.
Bud: Hold on though, theres more stuff to look at, besides which, this thing is one of the most expensive vehicles we’ve looked at, and it’s not exactly the most reliable either. Not to mention, that it can’t carry that much heavy equipment in the rear compared with the others. Anyways off to the next place then.
It was a pretty long drive to the Albatross dealership, rush hour traffic was not helping, but they eventually arrived.
Albatross V200
Steven: Looks okay from the front I guess. But its as empty as the bar in monday morning round the back.
Mac: Ouch, that price tag. This is by far the most expensive van out there.
Jack: Not to bad inside, pretty spacious and looks like theres a rear hatch too.
Bud: Has an automatic too, so it should be easy to drive.
One loop around the block later
Bud: Not as easy to drive as the GVC or the DAAG, but its close.
Steven: I guess if we got this one it would be okay, just choose any color other than that one. That green is not good.
Mac: Yeah, but it has the highest service costs of any car so far, and again its rear engined so working on it is gonna be fucking hard.
Jack: But it isnt too bad is it though. So, shall we head off to the last dealer?
One short drive later and they finally arrived at the Baltazar-Bush Dealership.
Bush Cargo
Steven: It’s not that bad looking at it now. Though the side decals look pretty crap.
Bud: Doesn’t look like its got a rear hatch either, and its though it has a lot of space in the rear too.
Mac: One of the lowest service costs too. And is by far the cheapest car so far.
Jack: Yeah its probably gonna be the most uncomfortable ride ever.
One quick trip to the beach and back later
Jack: Yep, fucking pain in the ass.
Bud: Its not as bad as the Genra, but this is a lot harder to drive too.
Mac: It is the cheapest though.
Bud: Well, we’ve gotta make our decision now, what should we go for…
May 10th 1998.
20 years had passed since EagleHeart’s first tour, California to Miami. Along the way they met one of Werner Music’s agents. Signing that contract in '79 the band shot to fame releasing top hits such as “Downstream From St Louis”, “Arboretum Of The Undying” and most famous of them all “Rock ‘n Rollin’”. The band would eventually disband in '86. As for what happened to the members, well, Buddy would eventually start a new band in '89 along with Jack. Mac decided to leave the rockstar life behind, marrying his long time childhood friend Anna Rosen. Steven on the other hand, would leave EagleHeart in '85, starting his successful solo career. With that money, he did eventually manage to buy himself a Mitsushita SpaceDragon. Sadly, his life filled with drugs and alcohol got the better of him and on June 12th 1988, he was found dead from drug overdose.
sigh “20 years ago huh. Has it really been that long” muttered Bud, lying on top of the old battered Mimas, lighting a cigar and gazing at the night sky. “Man, we had some good adventures back then.” bzzt bzzt Bud looked at his phone. “Hmm, a reunion tour huh…California to Miami…looks like we’ll all be going back tour again” said Buddy, stepping into the seat of the Mimas…
