Renting a Reva

As a guest of the island, the Ministry paid for my rental car! Margeret drove me to the Aftermath car-rental agency near the downtown railway station in the classy Russian Zil, and then she wanted to try out the newest car for rent - a Reva Electric. After wrestling with the sluggish Zil, she had fun tearing around the block in the lightweight Reva. "Hey, I like this!"
On New Island, the Reva has become most popular road car, traveling at 35 mph with a range of 50 miles before needing a charge. Besides a fleet of Revas the rental place offers this Cyclecar below, which is designed for the more rugged back roads and good on most of the Path System. I tried one of these while Margaret was on her joyride.

It's not very fast, requires some stamina, but it handles quite well!
So when Margaret returned, I threw my bag in the Reva, and at the last minute she said, "Here, you'll need a map, and a driver - I'm offering my services."
