    NazCar is a 1996 ford Aspire that Nazdak modified to fit the needs of today’s virtual superhero/freedom fighter. NazCar is a simple machine, right off Ford’s South Korean virtual assembly line. Aside from a few minor changes, the exterior of the car is the same as when Nazdak got it. He added yellow neon spinners to the wheel hubs, when the wheels turn, it activates tiny lights that were attached to the tire plugs, so when the car was moving, it looked like the wheels were fiery golden circles. He also added a bright red ground effects system that he could control from inside the cabin, he only used it in very special circumstances.

Under the hood is a super-efficient gasoline engine, so efficient that it can drive for 40+ virtual miles on one gallon of petrol (British gasoline). It is a 1.3 liter, 4 cylinder engine with a total of 63 horsepower. It isn’t the hottest car on the block but the high gas mileage makes it pretty cool.

Inside the cockpit there is alot going on. Nazdak had installed a complete mobile command center. To acquire power for the system, there is a 75 peak watt power inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter. A surge protected power strip is plugged into the inverter and is screwed to the floor under the passenger seat. Under the driver’s seat there is a 3 Ghz Pentium 4 laptop with a 120 gigabyte hard drive and a full gigabyte of ram. It has an AGP rage video card with another 256 megabytes of dedicated video ram and TV and DVI out. For removable media it has a DVD/CDRW drive and a PCMCIA card reader. The computer had come with an imbedded Wi-Fi component but Nazdak didn’t really need it too often because in the second PCMCIA slot he had a sierra wireless card so he could access the internet via satellite from anywhere in the continental United States. The computer has four USB ports, the first of which serviced Nazdak’s XM satellite radio tuner, and the second connected to receiver of the wireless keyboard with a touchpad that Nazdak used to input data, and the third was used for an external TV tuner. The line in jack was used for a microphone that was attached to the steering wheel with which Nazdak was able to control the computer using voice commands.

Nazdak can say things like, “NazCar, take an email, dear sir or madam…” or “NazCar desktop, video, select...”

And NazCar would respond, in her sexy robot voice, “foreground window, start, press button or space bar, menu item, internet explore, tool tip, opens your internet browser…” or “list item, corky dot ramano dvd dot dvix rip.”

The car has a factory standard AM/FM radio. Nazdak connected the computer to the audio system by using an external FM modulator that was powered by two rechargeable AAA batteries and plugged into the headphone jack on the computer. From the video card, an S-video cable ran under the seat to the back of the car and then up and along the ceiling to a 7.5 inch LCD panel that was installed in the driver’s side sun visor. In all, six of the components had their own antennas, the satellite radio, the wireless card, the WiFi adapter, the FM modulator, the stereo, and the TV tuner.

Everything is documented on video tape and he saved all of the receipts for everything so don’t even think about stealing anything.’
