CSR 76: Rock 'n Rollin'

[Elizipeazie]

May we present: The Anhultz Mimas Sleeppakket!

With the Anhultz Mimas Sleeppakket, advancements in technology are taken to a whole new level!
Powered by a newly engineered 1.6L four cylinder inline engine, featuring electrically controlled single point fuel injection and a turbocharger, this little boy is capable of producing 60KW (81 hp) and 94 lb-ft (128 nm) of torque. Paired to our 4C1 speed manual gearbox, it is capable of towing a whopping 2645lb (1200kg) using it’s short crawler gear* (hence the “C1” gearbox designation). This setup results in a class-breaking fuel economy of 29.7 MPG (7.9l/ 100km) highway and 22.4 MPG (10.5l/ 100km) combined-cycle. The advanced state of the Anhultz Mimas Sleeppakket continues in the interior, being filled to the brim with safety and practicality features. The five seat arrangement together with 1149L of cargo space yields a highly practical car while retaining the aerodynamic advantages of a liftback body. Power steering allows for easy control of the Anhultz Mimas Sleeppakket and is further enhanced by our suspension system designed to be easy and predictable to drive.
The best thing is: this whole package of advanced tech and reliable engineering can be yours for just 8900$**!

*note that for normal, non-towing applications it is advised to drive off using second gear according to normal shifting patterns. The crawler gear will be marked with a “C” on your gear lever and is positioned where other cars have first gear. Using it to drive off will not incur any damage to the vehicle. This note is for the buyer’s convinience only

**Price at 0% markup, dealers may charge extra.

So there you go.
Economical, reliable, can tow… and just 8900$ leaving enough room for the traailer you will definitly need. What would you want more?

OOC note:

I made this car comply the generations fixture rules of 1979 to keep some degree of realism. To ease understanding, i made a “light designation chart” to see which light does what.

also: Sorry for the wall of text, but this time i actually put effort into writing the ad…

DAAG SW Series (S01)

Built by DAAG from 1978 to 1990 and sold in Germany, the United States of America and WEU (Western European Union) countries. It was DAAG’s first time at developing and selling a van, and also, the first turbocharged engine ever put into production by the manufacturer, which will later become one of Germany’s most iconic lineup of passenger and cargo vans.

Thanks to the turbocharged engine, the SW20t managed to obtain an excellent fuel economy of 11,5 l/100km (or 20,5 MPG US) combined, while still retaining excellent performance figures for a vehicle of its class.

Preliminary Reviews Part 1

https://i.imgur.com/xUNSaIJ.jpg

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…

Part 2 Soon…

[Elizipeazie]

YASS!
no instabin!
[jumps around happily]

[Watermelon3878]

I thought you only needed 4 seats!

EDIT: Americans don’t say “bin”

[UnderlovedGhost]

@Watermelon3878

EDIT: Americans don’t say “bin”

Have you read other CSR rounds?

[Dorifto_Dorito]

@Watermelon3878

I thought you only needed 4 seats!

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.

[undercoverhardwarema]

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

[Jaimz]

Mine only has 4 seats because it’s a hearse………

Plenty of groupie room in the back…did I say groupie? I meant “equipment”!

Anyway…when’s part 2 coming @Dorifto_Dorito?

[Dorifto_Dorito]

We do not transport dead groupies in the back

Will post Soon

[Jaimz]

Who said anything about dead groupies?

A hearse is the ultimate passion wagon!

Preliminary Reviews Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

https://i.imgur.com/xUNSaIJ.jpg

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.

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…”

Those going into the final round are:

@Elizipeazie
@Knugcab
@abg7
@NiuYorqCiti
@zschmeez
@Leonardo9613

[vmo]

Ouch. Instabinned

[abg7]

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

[HardRooster]

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
