Post Apocalyptic Ambulance Challenge *Edited for Clarity*
Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2015 7:14 amCongratulations! Through sheer grit and determination, or, blind luck, you managed to survive the Apocalypse. And while your God shakes his fits at you from the Heavens, you and the rest of Humanity try and rebuild. Among the ruins of the your city, you and your merry band of soon-to-be cannibals find a place to set up shop. After a few weeks all is well. You've procured weapons, food, and survival gear. And every day, your search parties are bringing back people and supplies. However, they will soon breach the red zone. A range where no one will be able to help if someone is hurt. So, you put the word out to search for vehicles, and your team comes back with everything you need: The fast(ish) recon scout vehicle, the supply truck, the bus, they even managed to find a Tank. However, they were unable to find an ambulance. So you task your mechanics to build you one from scratch
First and foremost, this a post-apocalyptic wasteland. That means no new cars. I'm not going by "year" I'm going by quality. That said, the year of the vehicle is irrelevant, so yes, you can build a brand new car, however, all entries must have the quality set to -15.
You can use any body style you damn well please with a couple of exceptions.
[*]No mid or rear engine cars.
Because ... duh.
[*]It must be big enough to fit (at least most of) you, your medical supplies, your medic, and the wounded party.
By "most of", I mean I don't care if the dudes feet are hanging out the rear window.
[*]It must be made of some form of metal.
The wasteland is rough, so using a plastic or CF car for a hospital transport is stupid.
[*]Engine placement doesn't matter.
[*]Suspension must be MacPherson for the front, and anything less than DW on the back.
Its being rebuilt with found materials, not constructed in a state of the art factory.
Use any fixture you want. Spoilers, flood lights, whatever. Points will be awarded for originality.
Yes. You can have AWD or 4x4.
As for the engine, I don't care how you build it, as long as it doesn't have the following.
[*]No flatplane V8's
[*]No AlSi or Magnesium
[*]No turbo's.
[*]No direct Injection
[*]No Racing headers
[*]No Catalytic Converter
[*]No Muffler
[*]Use low quality fuel as you'll likely be using old fuel from broken-down cars.
Ok, for the set up.
[*]Auto or Manual, no slapp-crap.
[*]Max of six gears.
[*]Any locker worse than viscous.
[*]Hard tires
[*]'15 steel rims (Don't care if they're after market)
[*]Whatever set up you want for the breaks as long as you're not using CC.
[*]No aerodynamics
[*]Whatever set up you want for the interior.
Max cost, $9000
In short, make the shittiest car you can, thats big enough to fit you, a corpse, and a box of medical supplies in the back of, and we'll sling it around a few tracks.
*Edit* you will be scored on cheapness, shittiness of your design, and place in each race. You'll have until Thursday morning.
When sending your files, have them labled as (your name here) - PAAC; and use the following folder format: two folders, one entitled "Engines" the other, "Cars". In the engines folder, make two more, called "Families" and "Variants" respectively. In the "Cars" Folder, make two more called "Models" and "Trims". Place the relevant files where they go.

It's also prohibitively rare and expensive and you'll never find a car to suit your needs on the budget you need in CF so that's a moot point.
