TBH I  understand that everyone want to enjoy their toys and IDN if you will have a chance to get back to the safehouse anytime soon So why leave one car here?

I thank the GM for the heads-up and will modify my IC post accordingly.   
The reasoning behind my action was, that taking two cars would occupy two people as drivers, so that's one less shooting if needed. And as my car has autopilot and maneuvering autosoft, i could always command it from afar to get to a meeting point if we didn't come back.

[Sichr]

Sure. I wasn`t forcing you into something
Well Im pretty currious how this would continue after yesterday Stair Running Contest so I`m in the good mood

[vinnmun]

I never spend a spirit's edge, i let the GM deal with that. So yay, i'm back to 2 edge out of 3.

My IC is comming tomorrow afternoon, after time for Kouryou runs out, so you have a chance to enjoy some racing. We will cut the road into three stages:

Safehouse to the point where you will have to decide if you will choose SE Auburn Black Diamond Road or Auburn Echo Lake Cutoff Road
Both ways are possible, the first may be higher thresshold but lower surveillance, the second is a highway with high surveillance, well it would be quite easy to drive, but speeding may catch attention of preying eyes.
To this point, encounters are possible but not necessary.

Driving thresshold: Easy (1) + Light (1)=2
Only places difficult will be passing Cassey`s: Easy (1) + Restricted(2)=3, T-crossroad where you approaches SE Lake Holm RD (Easy (1) + Restricted(2)=3), Serpentines before you approach SE Auburn Black Diamond RD (Average(1) + Restricted(2)=3), and the point you enter SE Auburn Black Diamond RD (Easy (1) + Restricted(2)=3)

And then it depends on what road you decide to follow. Whole distance to this point: cca 5 km (according to Google).

It is raining, so apply "bonus" for racing tires, where appropriate

So it would be roll for every 500 meters = 10 rolls
Thressholds as Follow:
2 / 3 / 2 / 3 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 4 / 3

If you exceed the vehicle speed, add +1 to thresshold for every 50%

4xShadowing roll (Driver):
Cassey`s,
T-cross,
SE Lake Holm RD,
SE Auburn Black Diamond RD entry

@Ren: What strikes you at the first sight is the fact, that you have two vehicles with almost perfectly identical signatures. This can have some usefull tactical applications

[Ren]

When you put it that way, well, it seems pretty obvious. 
A question to below rolls: do the bonuses for vehicle tests (AR, handling) apply to shadowing?
And do the navigation and area knowledge tests help in any way?

[farothel]

Do tires have a rating?  I wasn't aware of that.

For the rest the two cars are quite similar, which is not that strange given that some mods you just have to have.  Mine is more build to shadow people (chameleon coating, smoke launchers) while the other is a bit more for the heavy stuff (ram plate, off road stuff).

The reason I took chameleon coating is to be able to drive home.  A brand new Hummer would be strange in Carbonada, but if you put a rust pattern on the vehicle it doesn't draw any looks.  But you need brand new paint to drive around high class neighbourhoods.

1) No, but RAW you can also roll Perception + Intuition, and in this case you can add vehicle sensors to your perception.

2) Home ground applies  (IMO most of you are constantly forgetting the quality

I don`t compare the vehicles. just puting them here to have it in sight. In fact, I was about to ask you for  numbers for them (Speed, Accel,etc) and I forgot to do that. So please post it now for quick reference.
From tactical view this is advantage...decoy, confusing pursuers etc. Up to yyou

Standard tires are OK. You can also buy either Racing, which adds dices on roads, but fail on the slippery surface, or OffRoad (IMO Rover comes with both Offroad suspension and Offroad tires, but I may be wrong)

[Ren]

Tyres do not have a rating, but Chummer does this little nasty conversion: it converted quantity (4 pieces) to quality (rating 4).
It is also quite reassuring we can roll Perception. Am i correct we mainly use visual perception, and we can use the vehicle sensors instead our own augmentations? Is it partial light outside (for modifiers)?

The Rover basically comes with off-road suspension but i don't think the tyres are included.

Vehicle stats for my Humvee:
Handling 1 (0 on-road, 3 off-road)

[Sichr]

Radar would be ok, in this speeds you onlx need to care about surveillance drones etc.

[farothel]

My car has the following:

Handling 1 (0 on-road, 2 off-road)
Acceleration 20/35
Speed 140 (about 170 km/h)
Pilot 2
Body 13
Armor 10
Sensor 2
Device rating 3
Amenities, High; Off-road suspension, passanger protection 2, anti-theft 2, Morphing licence plate + spoof chip, Run flat tires, Chameleon coating, Drive by wire override, Basic termination system, Smuggling compartment, Smoke projector + oil slick sprayer, Personal armour rating 4

I haven't added any sensors, so those would be the basic ones.  When driving I slave the vehicle's PAN to my own.

@Sichr: do we have to do all those rolls in one go?

[Sichr]

Imo it is up to you. You can roll 10x driving DP at once on castle. If you fail to meet the thresshold, we will solve the situation and continue (if you can, that is) no problem to apply the modifiers to existing rolls. Or you can roll one by one, if you prefere that way.

[Ren]

@Farothel: how fast are you planning to go? I'm planning +50% where threshold is otherwise 2 but if you plan on going slower, i won't leave you behind unless the situation for Nick turns very threatening.

[MaxKojote]

@Nathen: No clue what sensor channels you have, so I don't know if you'll qualify to join the tacnet once we get in range.
