Rolled to get a ride specifically a hundai delivery van, i rolled five 1's my GM told me I didn't get the truck but that I instead got a bulldog step up van with blacked out windows with graffiti on it and "free candy" scratched on the side. Should I sell the van for 40 % and deal with the loss or keep the cursed pedovan

Question: how did you roll to 'get' the van? Are we talking about an Availability test or something?

That doesn't seem like a typical glitch for an Availability Test (normally a glitch means you've attracted unwanted attention, not gotten a totally different vehicle), but the way I see it, there's nothing stopping you from just taking the Bulldog (which seems more expensive than a Honda or Hyundai would be), having the thing repainted, running a tag eraser over it and putting in morphing license plates. Almost all car windows are tinted nowadays anyway.

Or, you know, you don't have to spend the money if you don't find what you want. 
Would you want to go into a place where the resident had a drum-fed shotgun and can see in the dark?

Yeah, your GM probably just fudged it with the moment - I wouldn't worry that it will continue.

After successfully hauling the new prototype from Aztechnology's Department of Unethical Research, your team van speeds by a Knight Errant cruiser.

KE Cop #1: See that van? *reaches for lightbar switch*
KE Cop #2: Focus man, we're looking for robbers and not pedos
KE Cop #1: Right, sorry

Sounds great :D

With 5 ones, the van you got is so fraggin' hot that there's no way you can sell it.  Something about it being used as a getaway vehicle after a hit against one of the five families...

If you get a critical glitch like that and your GM actually gives you a more expensive van, I would gently decline and look further.  It's either recently used in a crime so heineous all the police across the UCAS look for it, or it will explode the first time you turn the ignition.  Both are not fun.

So I kept it and I found out that it apparently has a cyber ghost of a young girl named Ed stuck in the van. She controls the van. She gets pissed she does crazy shit. If we are nice she saves our as. My car is a freaking NPC version of a Stephan king novel

Yeah I suspect your GM is...  not really knowledgable about Shadowrun's world.

Not really sure since it's my first time playing but it's definitely never dull and always really fun even if we do get close to losing a character every other session.

Then keep at it!  If you're all having fun, then you're playing the game just right for your table.  That's the #1 rule of Shadowrun: Have fun.
