AMALTHEA
[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.
You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

But, a car is like a vanship from my world. They're used to travel and get somewhere else fast, and they have enough room in them to carry a couple of people and supplies. So a car would be good if we ended up in a round where something happened to our house or we needed to move somewhere else quickly.
Even in the case of getting robbed again, a car could keep them away from the food stores and money, in another theoretical situations. That's about all of the use I can think of off the top of my head!
