Vehicular Manslaughter

Expanded Vehicle Rules for Cybernetic Bastards (and Electric Bastionland)

    Vehicles
Vehicles have HP and Armor just like everything else
Attacks that do not do structural damage are Impaired (this includes most firearms).
Attacking a Vehicle that is significantly more Agile or Faster than you is Impaired - unless you attack is Blast.
If an attack would bring a Vehicles HP to 0, or would do damage to a Vehicle that has 0 HP, the driver must test CHA or become Wrecked.
Vehicles that become Wrecked stop to a halt and everyone inside takes d6 damage. If driving at high speeds or in dangerous conditions then they take d12.

    Fixing It
You can fix a Vehicle with Parts or Time.
Using Parts you heal d6 with a Short Rest.
Using Time you heal d6 with a Long Rest.
You might be able to use Parts to heal a Vehicle while its moving, but you would need to have access to the engine to do so, and that would involve having someone climb out and popping open the hood...

    Ramming Speed!
Collisions between two Vehicles deal d6 to Both Vehicles unless there is a major weight difference, where the larger vehicle would deal d12.
Running over soft targets does no damage to the Vehicle.
Sideswiping a Vehicle typically does d4 damage unless there is a major weight difference

    Cargo
Cargo is how much stuff a vehicle can hold.
One Cargo is roughly what one person can carry.
You can carry more Cargo than whats listed but it will make you Slower and might fall out with an Impact.

    Seats
Seats is how many people can safely ride in a vehicle.
You can have people 'ride on' but they also take any ramming and collision damage as well as Blast damage that the Vehicle takes.
You can also put Cargo in a Seat.

    Off Roading and Hazards
Most vehicles are not designed to go off road (unless they have the Off Road tag)
Every turn a non-off road vehicle is driving off road the driver must test CHA or the vehicle takes d6 damage.
Likewise most road hazards will require you to test CHA or take damage/be slowed down.

    Optional Rule: Fuel
This rule is suggested for settings/areas where running out of fuel may be an issue. Think making a cross country run or in a blasted apocalyptic wasteland. It is not recommended to track fuel in 'safe and normal' conditions like in a city.
Each unit of fuel is 1 Cargo.
Some engine might require exotic fuels (batteries, uranium fuel rods, bio-oil, etc).
Test fuel for each day that you travel and every time you are involved with some high speed action.
Roll Luck for fuel consumption. 

1: You are all dry. You will need more fuel to go on from this point.
2-3: Running on fumes. You have just enough for one more day/action.
4+: Full Tank. Hit the gas and haul ass.

    Other Rulings
Tires flat/slashed? You are Sluggish and Slow now.
