Rolled up my window, he tryed to turn around, But I rode that bitch-ass mutha f*cka down. <chorus> Hopped on crank, in my big f*cking tank, Hit the homies crew or hit the Citi Bank? Hopped on crank, in my big f*cking tank, Big f*cking tank big f*cking tank." - Cypress Hill, "Big Ass F_cking Tank", off "Cypress Hill 7"   The most popular classic town car of the 21st century, the Intercontinental is a mean machine in every sense of the word. With a great big universal combustion drive system, self sealing polyaramide belted tires, and hybrid ceramic body armor as standard features, it's no surprise that the "car that killed the Cadillac" is still being driven today, 35 years after it's production. The same basic model was produced for ten years, as there was no real way to improve it at the time, and the 1,250,000 odd units produced (they were expensive, despite being popular) are still being driven today. The car is seen as both a status symbol and as a symbol of the downfall of American culture (but mostly a status symbol), with it's big stereo, heavy armor, and ridiculously low suspension. Statistics from the American Department of Antiquated Conveyance Routes (in charge of most old style roads and parking lots) show that Intercontinentals are responsible for over $150 million dollars in speed bump damage (less then $15,000 in annual repairs to the cars due to speed bumps).   Lincoln Intercontinental Class: Town Car Crew: 2; one driver, and one underlighting/stereo user. Passengers: Up to 3 can fit in the back seat; 5 if really necessary Armor Rating: 16; bullet proof glass and durable tires. S.D.C. by location: *Wheels (4): 220 Wind Shield: 300 Windows (4): 120 Back Window: 260 Midnight Sunroof: 150 Doors (4): 350 **Main Body: 890 *Blowing out one tire inflicts -25% speed penalty, two is a -50% penalty if both are on the same side (or both in front), -40% Speed: Atmospheric Flight: Not possible, but can get about 5 feet high and 30 feet of distance if a properly timed suspension boost at a high speed occurs. Driving: 220 mph, half if running on kerosene or alcohol, +30 mph if running on leaded. Statistical Data: Height: 6 feet, 6 inches, with 6 inch ground clearance at it's lowest ride. Width: 11 feet, 8 inches. Length: 23 feet. Mass: 5 tons. Cargo: The trunk. Fuel: Up to 600 miles with a full tank of high octane gas, 500 miles with lower octane, 100 miles with kerosene, a measly 12 miles with alcohol (ethyl or malt), and a frightening 1000 with high octane leaded. Engine Type: X-12 (12 cylinder, X formation) universal combustion. Construction Cost: $265,000 Weapon Systems: No weapons, but the front end of the car only takes 1/4 damage from crashes, while inflicting an additional +1 S.D.C. per 10 mph of speed... Special Systems: Self Sealing Tires: The tires of the Intercontinental can effectively repair up to 120 S.D.C. per tire at a rate of 30 S.D.C. per melee round before running out of polyaramide sealant. Big Bad Bass Integrated Speaker System: A very nice, big, integrated woofer/tweeter/amp system that can hit a peak volume of 85 dB - outside the car! The inside of the car actually receives less of the sound, hitting only a volume of 65 dB inside at a volume setting of 10. The system is very impressive for making big entrances or just cruising. Underlights: A holographic underlighting system can create up to 300 c.p. of light, in any colour.
