A Timeline based on Data from the AADA Vehicle Guide
February 22, 2004
The first guide is probably one of the best resources for getting a picture of what the roads of the Car Wars future history are like. As of 2034, there were at least 5,000 examples of each of the Guides’ car, trike, and cycle designs on the road! The descriptions of the vehicles also provide a lot of hints and details regarding what the vehicles in ther years leading up to 2034 were like.
Here’s a summary of some of the info we can glean:
Cycle Concepts’ best selling design was the Road Miser which debuted in 2028. The Rocket Road Miser began production in 2032. Cycle Concepts also produced the Spider, the Tornado, and the Maxi.
Crane’s most popular design was the Popper. If the FOJ wasn’t available until 2033 (ADQ 1-1), then the Hawk could not have been produced until that date. Crane also produced the Santa Cruz, and the Mantis.
Mystic Motor’s Aquarius was the first of their best selling “Zodiac” series. When we assign dates for other vehicles in that line, we’ll have to remember to place them as being later on. The Guide also describes the Taurus as well. (Perhaps the designs should debut in the same order as the signs of the Zodiac?)
Wheeler Motors’ Scrapper should not be available until 2033 because of its use of the CTS (ADQ 1-4).
The Guide does not tell us the name of the company that produced Samson’s vehicle designs, but we do know that the Flash was his first model. The Samson used a FOJ, so it probably should not appear on the roads until 2033 (ADQ 1-1).
The Gazelle comes in a pre-2033 model and a later model. The Guide also mentions Courier Services’ Tomcat and Amex Combat Autoworks Slasher. (The Guide also neglects to reveal the Company that produced these three cycles.)
