Do Not Knock My Truck or You Can Walk Right Now

When Trail of Lightning was pitched, it was referred to as "an Indigenous Mad Max Fury Road." I didn't really get that, though, as the way the story unfolded seemed more akin to a classic detective novel with a loner hero narrating a tale of unfolding mystery and dangerous situations. It even had the requisite cool "not cool" car (see also: Columbo's Peugeot, Rockford's Esprit, or Spenser's '68 Chevy).

WHO ARE YOU?!

So, technically my Mall Monkeys Security Vehicle is too new - the second generation Fortwo wasn't introduced until 2007, but the comic finished its run in 2003. My reasoning is that the mall's higher-ups signed a 10-year deal with Smart back in 1998, and as part of the deal would get a new one any time it was updated. If I ever find a first gen Fortwo, I'll simply expand their fleet (hence the "Car 2" license plate).

No, He Said It was a Ghost

After the labor-intensive Misery Machine, I was looking to take a break with some relatively simple builds. So of course the first one I choose is technically a curbside but still requires a scratch built twin turbo system and custom body work. Not very smart, but the end result is pretty.
