Illuminated Site of the Week
February 20, 2009: Illuminated Site of the Week: When Is The County Going To Install Those Potholes?
Zack Anderson and his team at MIT have created a shock absorber that not only cushions a car ride, it derives power from any bumps and jolts along the way.

Okay, so you can't afford to buy a motorcycle that doubles as a computer and can launch tiny robots that have surprisingly large guns on them. That doesn't mean your character can't. While you're certainly welcome to try and convince your GM that such a beast would be "totally feasible," we recommend shopping from Shadowrun: Arsenal instead. If it doesn't have what you want, it'll probably still have something close, and your GM will hit you with a rolled-up newspaper less often.
