So I had been using a fire station to store my junk (early game not exactly a base yet…) and was super excited when I found a good condition electric car to park in it… and then strip for parts to build a loot-mobile with all the comforts and safety of non-smashable metal doors. Drove most of the way back no problems. Then when I reached the final intersection, I found a hoard moving in the direction of the fire house. I swerved around the corner in front of the hoard and started speeding to safety… until another large group suddenly came out of a building near a wreck…
Blood, guts and chunks of meat went flying as they took with them chunks of metal in an epic confrontation of (former) man versus machine… when the bloater gas had settled, half the group was gone and the electric car was speeding away with the hoard not far behind.
Then I started getting these notifications saying “The electric car is too heavy for its engines!” I couldn’t figure out why as it only had a wheelbarrow’s worth of stuff in it so after a few turns, I finally inspected the car… I no longer had an engine, or the majority of the car’s pieces for that matter. I still had the wheels and controls though and was able to coast through a few Z’s and right up to the fire station, ran in the single door (garage were closed) and started the door closing winch. Stray zombies came, enough to last until the hoard arrived but, no mater, I had already crushed a Z by closing this particular door. Spamming commands to keep operating the winch, I was so close to safety until I was met with the statement “The door could not be closed.”
