Polaris (a Scarab subsidiary) has got the perfect car, the Polaris Nebula, for you and your newly founded delivery firm. It’s a big car, it’s a good car and it’s reliable, with the best interior and an awesome satnav and entertainment suit. You will be able to deliver just about anything with this car, and will not be out of place in neither downtown LA or in the Hills. For the asking price of just $37000, you will be able to buy two of these so that you can outfit one for heavy delivery and towing and the other for a more posh delivery or even the occasional taxi-service.

That Nebula looks like a jacked-up Scarab Nova Sportback; even the exterior color is very similar!

What you need is what every All American working man needs. An All American Truck! We at Petoskey aim to deliver with the new:

2017 PETOSKEY STAG BIG CHIEF EDITION!


That’s right, after nine years we brought back the Big Chief name. Because this truck is fit for a chief. Under the hood sits a new 6.7L inline six guaranteed to give you the ultimate hauling power. (This was the closest I could make to a realistic diesel)

You’re looking to make deliveries? The Stag is the ultimate choice for its ample cargo space. But that’s not all, in addition to an optional cap for the back, the Stag is rated for extreme towing. So what cannot fit in the back, can be towed behind the truck.

Sometimes you cannot always rely on roads to get where you’re going. That’s where Petoskey’s HammerTrac Four Wheel Drive system comes into play. Sitting on 33" tires from the factory, the Stag will laugh at the toughest of obstacles. And the low end torque of the engine going through the 6RE9 transmission will allow you to power through that which you cannot climb over.

Inside you will find no effort was spared in providing the ultimate in comfort. We know that your vehicles represent a considerable investment, so the Petoskey DRIVESAFE package comes standard to make sure each vehicle returns safely. Should the worst happen, the Stag is built to the highest safety standards which have become the norm with every Petoskey automobile. The Big Chief is the ultimate choice, make the right one.

##2017 CM Nunavut LX

We aimed to make the biggest, manliest, most luxurious sport truck in the world and we think we’ve succeeded. The CM Nunavut LX is named after Canada’s largest territory as it is CM’s largest model. Measuring over 6 m long and weighing in at over 3 tons, it’s a true beast of a truck. To move all that chrome and steel, we’ve outfitted it with a 10L V8 producing 585 hp and 662 ft-lb of torque. With that power and the more than 4000 litres of cargo space, guaranteed to haul or tow anything. The hand-made luxury interior can seat five in absolute comfort, meaning it’s a practical family car as well. The fuel economy is better than a Hummer, so rest assured that you won’t have to spend too much at the pump. It also does the 0-100 km/h sprint under 7 seconds and has a top speed over 250 km/h, because why not?

All this can be yours for the low price of $64,400, so come to visit your local CM dealership and get your own Nunavut LX!

###Business plan
It’s a truck with amazing towing, hauling, and offroad capabilities. So why not a go everywhere delivery truck? Can deliver to secluded cabins or the largest of ranches, or maybe someone just needs some extra supplies for their camping trip. The luxurious interior means it can also be used as a limousine in the city, because what’s a better limousine than a giant chromed truck towering over everything? Billy-Joe has many opportunities available with the CM Nunavut LX.

#Presenting the 2017 Bush Alexandrina V12

The new Bush Alexandrina V12 is the perfect car for a whole range of activities. From doing 4 wheel burnouts outside church, on sunday, to killing the pig on the way to the market, on monday, you really can do it all.
And the best part, you don’t even have to listen to the pig, due to the high fidelity 21-speaker stereo and supreme sound insulation.

After the day of work is done, just pop over to the nearest drag strip and smoke anything that tries to beat it. Because it surely will. 0-62 is dealt with in 3 seconds. Quarter mile in under 11. Top speed is a massive 211 mph, so it is faster than most exotica.

How is it this fast? Courtest of the 5.6 twin-turbocharged V12 engine, capable of producing 865 hp. Yes, you read that right, 865 hp. On standard 91 RON american horsepiss. 55% of the power goes to the wheels and 45% to the front ones, but power can go 100% to either axle if the electronically operated differential mandates.

However, the practical stuff wasn’t forgotten. This car has a tremendous body on frame structure and a solid rear axle, for proper utility and ruggedness, and the gearbox is a proper torque-converter, obviously.

All in all, this is the perfect car for any business that needs to be done in a hurry with a massive grin on the face. It is simply perfect for carrying hearts for transplants. It can deliver pizza still at the oven temperature. You can even delivery nuclear waste unprotected and no traces of it will remain in the atmosphere.

Get yours now, for just 48,900.

Bush Motors. Kinder, gentler cars.

Finally… Someone’s submitted a ute - and a twin-turbo, AWD, V12 monster at that! I love the exterior color and hood scoop in particular. Those fender flares remind me of the tuned supercars from Liberty Walk! :smiley:

Speaking of supercars, taking the engine from one and putting it in the nose of a truck tends to result in utterly insane machinery, and the Bush is no exception. But considering that it has an old-school ladder frame and a solid rear axle, how fast it can go around a proper racetrack - with corners?

It is actually not bad in the corners, especially for a 2100 kg beast with 60% of weight on the front wheels.
1.18/1.14g lateral grip and lap times of 1:16 on the airfield and 2:07 on the ATT are hardly sub-par.

Well, at Dynamite Motors, we’ve come up with a solution for you, Billy-Joe. Our business plan first:

We’re selling you one big, fast truck. Start a rapid delivery service. Point A to Point B, fast-as-legal, if it fits in the bed of the truck, it moves at full speed until it gets where it needs to go.

So, the truck…

Meet your new Dynamite D1600. D, for Dually, naturally. (I know, we don’t have duallies in game, but… I went for it anyway.) This big and brutal beast can move mountains, tow trains, and pretty much do whatever you and your clients will need.

Why are we so confident in our truck?

961 cubic inches of V12 muscle, given a turbocharged assistance for maximum power. She’ll run on regular unleaded gas, too, so fear not, it won’t quite steal everything in your wallet for fuel.

We went for the Crew Cab design, because you and four of your friends can use this to haul the boat on the weekends to go fishing when you’re not busy hauling everything around.

As for making it easier to handle, we’ve given you a 9 speed automatic with a viscous limited slip differential. And we strengthened the chassis with some off-roading skidplates and underbelly protection, so that you can handle everything the world throws at you.

And it can be yours for $30,600 (@0% Markup).


Yes, I did go Wildcard again, and big time this time. It’s hardly competitive, but I just had to do it.

Well, I had to make the decision between this, or a van with a NASCAR racing engine. The racing engine ate up too much production units engineering time to be used, so it made this choice easy.

Edit: thank you to JohnWaldock for pointing out my mistake.

erm, it’s engineering time, not production units that we have a limit on.

Billy, this is the car you need. Your business needs to be blessed by the screaming bald eagle of freedom.


The 1967 Stallion Roswell Applewood Custom Limited. With a 488ci V8 with 4 barrel carbs, 6 seats and 2000 litres of cargo space… you can deliver like no one else.

It doesn’t end there. Utilising the newest technology, the McPherson suspension in the front and the multilink rears will give you an experience like none other. A smooth 3 speed automatic and power steering means driving is almost telepathic. It takes no effort. You don’t have to make any sacrificies. With the Roswell, you can have it all - unpredecented body control, surging acceleration, stable handling, good mileage, practical layout, and best of all… a justifiable price tag.

$20000.


The story doesn’t end there. That was 1967, but this is 2017. We need to get with the times, and that’s where our restomodding company comes in. Here’s what the Roswell got:

  • Vented disk brakes all round
  • New tyres
  • Completely rebuilt engine with revised ignition, compression, and valve timing
  • Holley multipoint fuel injection conversion
  • High flow three way catalytic converter
  • New exhaust system
  • 6 speed automatic transmission swap
  • Added viscous LSD
  • Repainted and restored wood paneling
  • Upgraded electronics
  • Refurbished interior: seats restuffed, new head unit and new seatbelts

Resulting in vastly improved mileage, top speed, acceleration, comfort and emissions.

The cost?

Thirty thousand dollars.
