1. Miles and miles.
2. Yeah, we've seen those movies too. They can if someone wants to write rules for it.
3. Cops in 2041 don't like copkillers any more than cops in 1991. And in 2041, they're much better armed ...
4. We don't know. Maybe someone would like to do a home recharge station for Uncle Al's?
5. No.
6. Good Lord, we don't have a clue. Sounds like another ADQ article. Double brownie points to anyone who can convincingly tie rules for truck ramps, home recharge stations and 21stcentury property values into a single ADQ feature.

1. No, but if there's a device in the Compendium that does the same thing, use the Compendium version. Some things that no longer exist are turbosuperchargers, thunderkit PPs, antivehicular ammo, supercharger capacitors (replaced by improved supercharger capacitors), oversize vehicular airfoils, highintensity optics (replaced by pulsed lasers). Hopefully, EVERY legal gadget in the game will be included in The Complete Uncle Al's.
2. No.
{ From ADQ 9/2, "The Driver's Seat:
Also, in the "not exactly a goof" category, in last
issues' "ADQ&A" Ken Scott told Martin Hills that
grenade launchers cannot fire indirectly. Craig Scheeley reminded
me that, if you have Car Wars Tanks, the
indirect fire rules on page 33 will work as well for grenade
launchers as anything else. Fair warning: if you don't have Tanks,
rush out and buy it for heavy-metal action, but don't
rush out and buy it just so you can fire a grenade indirectly.
You'll be disappointed.}
3. Yes & yes. Remember, Aeroduel and Tanks weapons aren't considered legal in road vehicles.
4. When all the metal (and plastic) is gone.
5. Homing torpedoes home acoustically, radar jamming has no effect. SAMs aren't radarguided either, so no effect.
6. Yes. With an IR sighting system you don't have to wear the goggles, and it adds to the resale value of the car and helps you pick up babes.
7. Yes.
8. Both.
