Can you drive cars.

[FarmerPtech]

I found a car today on the road. And i thought i could maybe drive it. But i could not find a way to start it up. Can you drive cars in the Lonng Dark?

As a Canadian, once you run around a little more you'll realise how impractial driving is in this climate. :)

Take the car out for a few doughnuts on the lake :)

We would need a shovel to dig it out of the snowbanks, wonder how much calories that would burn. :(

Well put :)

I think at least they'll have the option to replace the battery, or whatever is accessible under the hood, and then be able to start it up and turn on the heat. I hope anyways :)

It would be cool to be able to drive them during the aurora event

A small roe deer totalled my car from a collision at less than 50km/h*, so I can't really imagine using a car to hunt the bigger northern deer without ending up with broken collar bone from the seatbelt, or massive bruising etc etc. :o

* I was driving under that, but the stupid beast was running and jumping straigth at me / across the road, so no clue what the impact actually was!


** I've also had the taxi I was in hit by a moose in Sweden. It punted the heavy Audi A4 combi off the road and into a field, I was lucky bu the driver ended up in hospital.
Cars are pretty bad weapons against animals that are either compact and heavy (bears/boars) or have long legs (deer, moose) and end up rolling on the car's hood and smashing through the windshield!

Or You need to be a really good mechanic and Replace the engine with an older non electricity Model that doesnt require electricitiy and I dont see any historic Car Museums in Great Bear

so you would be forced to build one yourself it would require way too much time and you woldnt evenbe able to exit regions that dont have a proper road connections

[Crystal_Pistol]

Yes, I can drive.

I've never seen a non-electric engine in a car other than a steam engine, if you are a really good mechanic there seems to be enough pipe and tanks around to build one. All gasoline engines, even hand crank started, need some sort of electric coil to fire the spark plug. As far as diesel, they can run without any type of electricity but you have the problem of getting the crankshaft turning to get the combustion process going. The only way would be coasting down a long steep enough hill to get the forward momentum high enough to pop the clutch. If you know anything about diesel engines it takes a lot of energy to turn them over. They are nearly impossible to hand start with a crank.

Unfortunately, there is no auto insurance companies left on great bear island. Because the law requires an active policy, there's no way to drive them sorry :(
