Driver’s Log 2, March 31, 2023
There are now 29 teams participating in this event, according to our sign-up sheets, all with a collection of curious characters and odd names.
Two teams were known to me before the event: Shift Happens, as detailed before in my previous entry, and VS Mobil Generator AB, the team Valentin set up to provide power to the entire camp.
I asked Kaylie for permission to look over the various teams’ entry forms, so I could log them into my historical records.
These entry forms will be entered here in the order that Kaylie received them.
The first team to submit an entry to the event was “Team M.A.D.” Their goal, from what little I’ve heard, is to document and record the event. M.A.D. is an acronym for “Make a Documentary,” after all. They have plans to bring a pair of cars along. The names of their crew are: Urijah Hunt, Renee Rush, Victoria de la Cavalleria, and Maxim Tremblay.
The second team is “Team Sinesian Rejects.” The crew, Tolok-Javon ‘TJ’ Hyrteyn, Alauran ‘Al’ Caere, Ianis Solani, and Jas Kan’aan, plan to bring a pair of cars as well. They did mention they’re from a different world, which makes them our first interstellar team for this year.
Third on the list is “Team Not-So-Slow,” a team from last year. Isabella Jackson and Matthew Smith make a return, though Kaylie glared at this sheet for an hour when it arrived. They plan to bring one car, though Kaylie did mutter about “checking for alcohol before we leave.”
Next up is our fourth crew, “The Ambassadors.” Another interstellar bunch, planning on bringing two cars on this voyage. Landon Sabourne, Aryton Sabourne, Amell Sabourne, Karl von Heislingberg, and Denali Bassett plan to make the trip to Nehmenweld with us.
Then we have Kate Silas and Octavia Arachne, known as “The Knockouts,” bringing two cars along. Another team from outside this world.
Another team from last year, “Team Mravolinski-Chitco,” brings two cars with one being from last year. Loojoe Mravolinski, Siviko Mravolinski, Amanda Mravolinski, Chicota Junior Mravolinski, Andrea VerBanka, Pi Chitco, and Mat Hammeltau are the crew this time.
Kaylie says they’ve competed against part of “Team HETS” in a 24-hours-of-Clunkers race. Mrs Elizabeth “Gran” Harcourt-Entwhistle, Mrs “Nanna” Prudence Tuppington-Smythe, Spanners, and Mopey plan to drive two cars through Nehmenweld.
Surprisingly, it was Kivenaal who pointed out that “Team Flaming Gallahs” would be an interesting sight, just based only on their team members’ names. I don’t see how Kivenaal got anything out of the names “Taint “Gia” Jimmy, Taymin “Ben” Pala, Eddie, Jane, or Kit,” but they do plan to bring one car.
We don’t know much about “Team Friendship,” other than that one of their crew is called “Freddie,” and the other is “Riley,” and they plan to bring one car.
Kaylie was visibly excited when “Team Hillbilly Rollers” turned in their application. Janne Mäkilalo, Andreas Kero, Marie Pesula, and Arne Lindberg are confirmed to be bringing two vehicles.
“Team Sane Insanity” plans to bring two cars and three people: Raymond Li, Nathan Wang, and Andrew Park.
The next team is a bit interesting to me, from the fact that everyone else so far has had at least one car with two people in it. But, “Faolan Industries” intends to bring two vehicles and only two crew, Ze’ev Wulfrith and Storm Breedlove.
“Team Taciturn” seemed a little unusual at first. One car, two people, Cal Street and Curt House. Malavera is very suspicious at how “clean” their background check is. He says that "People always have some dirt in their past. A parking ticket, speeding ticket, even something as simple as some credit card bills, but Malavera says it’s like they just “popped into existence.” He says he’s suspecting they’re under something Earth calls “Witness Protection.”
Another single-car team is “Team ReUnity” with Jian Hui, Anthony Park, Seung Ji, and Ayumi Miyazaki planning to go on this voyage with everyone else.
Jessica Lombaerts, Alexis Ahaual, Shay Hirvonen, Lazar Kandyba, Laura Kamenev, Giorgi Ingorkova, Tracey Maxou, Magnolia Coleman, and Kiel Shamble are the members of “Team Spy Kids,” intending on bringing two cars. Apparently, some of them were there last year, so Kaylie’s a bit excited.
“Team J3” is another interstellar team, consisting of Johnny, Jackie, and Jacia. They intend to bring two vehicles along.
“Team Aeromad” plans to bring Jenny, Leo, and Max, along with two vehicles straight into the camp for an adventure.
“Team Black Rabbit Disavowed” had Kaylie a bit concerned. However, Lorelei Emmerling Rothbauer, Mona, Catherine Ridley, Noelle Markman Porter, and Klaus Engel plan to bring two cars along this year.
Wilbur Statius Scott, Miranda Isabel Scott, Victoria Jane Cole, Michael Charles Cole, and John William Burr make up “Team Sheriff Scott’s Posse,” who plan to bring two vehicles along.
“Team 48656c696f73,” also known by Kayden as “Are you fucking kidding me?!” and by Malavera as “Team 486,” plan to bring two cars to haul 4 people: Dr. Miriam Brand, Victor Messer, Friede Steinmann, and Friedrich Steinmann.
Isobel MacAllan, George Peterson, Raina Kurniaputri, and Hamasaki Mei make up “Team Magdelena,” bringing another two cars.
Kaylie groaned when “Team Machinas Con Passione” returned this year. Sure, they registered two cars, but her comment was, “Twin Suns, they were idiots last year.” Kivenaal had a savage smile on his face, but refused to explain why he was laughing when I asked. Kayden called them “Five idiots in two shitboxes, with half-a-brain to share.” I hope that Johnny Scarfiotti, Ryouci Katou, Hikiko Katou, Giacomo Scarfiotti, and Alessio Scarfiotti are better than Kayden says, but… I will not get my hopes up.
“Team Cunning Stunts” is another bundle of “Potentially interesting,” bringing two cars for a crew of 5 people: Zachary Kenway, Liviana Harrington, Sophie Harrington, Murray Harrington, and Lara White.
Carol Nanashi, Shikino Miya, and Regan Reynald are “Team Till D End,” bringing two cars into this run.
“Team Basedworks” got a set of raised eyebrows from Malavera, followed by, "I wonder what they plan to bring. We’ll be waiting to see what Pierce Holman, Ryuzo “Big Block” Wakaba, Zach Tempest, and Nathaniel James Jr. choose to bring as their two vehicles.
“Team GUNSHIP” is another interesting one. Paul Jäger and Aaron Jäger intend to bring one car along.
Then, last, but not least, there’s “Team 4 Dicks in a Truck.” Domenik, Rose, Christian, and Riley plan to bring one vehicle. Malavera sighed when he’d seen their team name and said, “They better not be. Or at least, be dicks to each other, not the other teams.”
There’s the 27 additional teams along for our trip. With any luck, we’ll actually have a full campsite.
Kasiya startled as the sound of 25 cents worth of pennies hitting the cab roof rang out. He saved his document, shaking his head before shoving open his door to confront the coin-tosser.
TEAM FRIENDSHIP! :D 
anthropomorphic cars 
With the unshakable joy of a small puppy 
, and the emotional depth & attitude of a NickJr character 
, these docile little microcars are ready to take on any challenge with the power of friendship, persistence, and 
their 
unshakable 
positivity! 
it’s modifications include: controls specifically designed to be operated by a car, a retractable garage/ramp for entry and exit, an in-depth radio/speaker system (which is almost always playing super-cheery, kidz-bop-esque music 
), and individual sleeping quarters for each car.

, and the one responsible for all the speakers on the outside of the bus 
(and the massive collection of CD’s in the cabin). As well as her own internal CD player, she’s been fitted with a modernized engine and some offroading equipment, that makes her actually pretty capable on a hard dirt trail on her own. 
In addition to driving, he’s the one with plans to decorate the bus as they go along. 
He also has some similar modifications to Riley; while not much of an offroader, his improved engine is capable of some shockingly impressive fuel economy.
