Appearance

The Itsavan is, in a word, ugly. Shaped roughly like a boxy bean, it has an awkwardly sloped front end, combined with a rear end that looks like the designer sneezed when working on the profile. The rear end contains a windowed hatch, and indeed, nearly every side is covered completely with windows. The roof has been hideously upholstered, and the van is, overall, extremely homely.

Details

The Itsavan is a basic, if ugly, front-wheel-drive minivan. It sports a driver's seat, three captain's chairs for passengers, and a three-passenger bench in the rear. All the passenger seats can be folded to increase cargo capacity, or they can be removed to increase it even further, or to use the van as a cargo van. It is constructed of light Durandium Alloy with transparent Durandium windows, making it fairly tough for its size. Safety systems include a radio that can be used to call for help, and standard three-point safety belts, as well as traction control, anti-lock brakes, and several air bags.

Systems

Power

  • Fusion: The Fusion powered version of the Itsavan is actually an electric powered vehicle, with a HONEY Burst in place of a battery or fuel cell. The Burst's fuel tank can power the van for roughly 10,000 miles before needing replenishment.

Wheels

The tires are made of Silicone rubber with Durandium belting for strength. The wheels these tires are mounted to are made of polished Durandium.

Suspension

The Itsavan uses independent suspension, which gives it a very smooth, comfortable ride, and helps the vehicle around corners. Independent suspension reduces body roll and helps to keep the tires planted firmly on the ground, making the Itsavan more efficient then a vehicle with solid axles.

Communications

The Itsavan contains a radio system which allows the user to hear any public channel. It also has a handset which allows them to call for help, or communicate with nearby people.

Storage

The Itsavan has a rear storage area which can store roughly 10 cubic feet of cargo. if the rear seats are all folded down, the Itsavan can store roughly 100 cubic feet of cargo.
