  2. Aaand we're right back to 1985. Cue the cheesy terrible backstory.
  3.  
  4. A man in his 50s walks up to a gas station, grumbling angrily to himself, and puts 25 cents in before dialing a number.
  5. "Hey, Joe, yeah, it's me, your brother. The car broke down AGAIN. '...' Yeah I KNOW it's the third time this month, I need you to pick me up.
  6. '...' Well kids have soccer games all the time, don't they? You'll catch the next one. Just come pick me up! '...'
  7. Yeah, I'm getting another car. This week. I'm gettin' real sick of these damn lemons. Ever since the fuel crisis Lemme tell ya, they don't make em' like they used to!
  8. '...' What? an Import? Bah. I ain't no commie! But.. now that you mention it, they been sayin' they don't break down as much as these domestics.. '...' Alright, alright,
  9. I'll look over some of them, but they'd better be damn good, because I've only ever bought American! '...' Yeah yeah.. I can wait 45 minutes. Just hurry it up!"
  10. He slams the payphone back with unesecarry force.
  11.  
  12. *cut terrible intro.*

  16. So, what's going on? It's 1985, and your new customer, Dan Biffle, is tired of his old American lemon. he's only ever owned American cars, but since the fuel Crises, he finds they just don't
  17. provide what he wants. He, and many other Americans of the time are looking at buying their first imported cars. This is where you come in. Whether an import or a domestic brand, you'll have the same goal in mind:
  18. provide a familar, quality product that also mitigates the issues of old.
  19.  
  20. About his wants:
  21.  
  22. Style, Style, Style! It should be obvious, but Dan's impression of the car can and WILL be made or broken just by looking at it. He doesn't want an eye catching supercar, but make something composed at least.
  23. There's a possibility he might be wowed by a futuristic design, but consider it a risky move.
  24.  
  25. How it drives: Old American cars are known specifically for handling well!... oh wait, I meant the opposite of that. Dan doesn't expect, nor does he want a sports car on the cutting edge of handling. He wants something
  26. comfortable, and composed more than anything. There will be very few, if any circumstances he pushes the car to its limits, but, he wants to know that, should he push it a little bit, the car will remain dignified. D
  27. Driving feedback is near irrelevant.
  28.  
  29. Room: Dan likes interior room, so an overcramped cabin will likely not do him well. He's divorced, but sometimes shuttles his nieces and nephews around, so the amount of seats he'll like
  30. will be up to your interpretation.
  31.  
  32. Performance: If it's got the power to merge onto the highway and give him a bit of excitement doing a pull, consider it sufficient. He's not a power snob bby any means but an underpowered car will most certainly make him turn his nose
  33. up and look elsewhere.
  34.  
  35. Fuel Consumption: It doesn't need to be a hypermiler but keep in mind that this is the 80s and Fuel prices are well on the rise. An overly thirsty car will not last.
  36.  
  37. Reliability/Maintenence/Enviornmental Resistance: Consider that he's getting rid of his old car for reliability issues. That said, buying a car new it will likely come with a warranty. So .6 reliability points will not make or break it for him.
  38. Keep it on the back burner but don't over-emphasize its importance.
  39.  
  40. I know there's not a lot of hard DOs and DO NOTs this round, but I generally wanted to keep it open to variety. Dan really doesn't have an exact idea of what he wants, and would love to be surprised! That said, there are going to be a fair amount
  41. of hard rules:
  42.  
  43. Max Engine PU: 55
  44. Max Engine ET: 125.
  45.  
  46. Max CHASSIS PU: 100
  47. Max CHASSIS ET: 110
  48.  
  49. Max Trim Emissions: 950
  50.  
  51. Approx. Maximum Costs: 27,000. This isn't exactly a hard limit, Dan will go over if he thinks the car is worth it. He's not a penny pincher but money saved is never a downside.
  52.  
  53. Mods are open to use, however if I do not have all the ones on your car, the ball is in your court to direct me to the right ones.
  54.  
  55. Please no resubmissions. That's standard by this point.
  56.  
  57. NOTE: I've entered a few CSRs before. I know the minmax tricks. Don't use them. It's obvious and I will laugh at you for it.
