Design Notes - Update of this obsolete 2037 design:

Pickup, Xhvy Ch., Imp. Sus., Super PP, 4 PR tires rear, 2 PR-Radials front, Driver; 2 linked Lasers front, laser battery, 30 pts of WG/WH, 255 pts Plastic Armor: F60 B 55 R 50 L 50 T 25 U 15; HC: 2. Acc. 5, 7797 lbs. (max 7800), $29,960.00

The main entry is trying to keep the Div30ness. The first option is to upgrade everything to crazy levels, the second is to moderate things to Div60 (why 60? a hunch). Not sure why a pickup is best for this weaponry, possibly for the armor, but on another hunch I decided to test it as a midsized and it may be a better car (more component armor for one thing,  and cheaper!)

Name Notes - This is the sound a laser makes. Ugh.  It's from my earliest cars, because those had the stupidest names.
