Vehicles

There are many different vehicles that can be found on Goonstation, for all of your drunk driving needs. For the most part, beginning your alcohol-fueled vehicular homicide joy ride is as easy as click-dragging your character sprite onto the vehicle or left-clicking the thing and picking "enter". Should some hooligan steal your ride, hitting the vehicle the disarm (yellow hand) intent will shove out, momentarily stunning them and giving you ample time to reclaim your ride.
Segway
The Security department's (for some reason, Medical's) personal fleet, and the proud vehicle of mall cops across the country. Surprisingly robust for something meant to be joke item. It's the fastest non-antagonist vehicle in the game that isn't a pod, and running into anyone while riding will fling you over the handlebars, stunning both you and the person you ran over for a while. It also has lights and siren so that you can warn people to get out of the way annoy the entire fucking station.
Buff-R-Matic 3000
The Janitor's personal vehicle, and overall an upgrade over the standard mop and bucket. It can clean the floors simply by moving on them while the buffer's on, much faster than any mop could, and if you switch out the massive (200 units!) reservoir of water and space cleaner with something else, you can do far more than just clean. Expect to be pushed off frequently due to the fact that you're making everyone fall on their ass. And then it will be stolen and spaced or used to make everyone else fall down.
Forklift
Designed for reenacting Forklift Driver Klaus moving crates around the QM department and found in Cargo Bay and Disposals. Features a three-crate capacity, free access through plastic flaps, and an amber emergency light (accessed through the Forklift tab) to warn crew that you're coming through and light your way a little bit. To load the crates, get in the forklift and click drag the crate onto the forklift sprite. To unload them, click on the Forklift tab on the right of your display, and choose "drop crates".
Also surprisingly versatile for antags. Not only can the forklift be permanently disabled and turned into an improvised barricade with a screwdriver and pair of wirecutters, but also is handy for kidnappings and hiding bodies. The AI cannot track you while you're inside the forklift because it completely hides your identity, anyone yelling at you from the outside will have to use the radio or you can't hear them, and if someone is in a crate, their screams for help will actually be seen as them being inside the forklift and not the crate. You're also immune to tasers and lasers while riding the forklift, and if you're in space, will only suffer the suffocation damage, not the burn damage.
In addition, it actually follows Newton's First Law in that it will also keep moving without you if you don't apply the brake (accessible through the Forklift tab) , even if you get pushed off or get out to activate a computer or something. Doesn't run people over, sadly, or recreate that scene from Final Destination 3 where it knocks over shelving. Also, if you run into the crusher it'll eat the forklift but safely eject you so you can run, unlike other vehicles! Note that attempting to flip while inside one will give you a concussion and knock you unconscious.
Clown Car
A fun Traitor vehicle. Enter wearing at least two Clown clothing items and prepare for fun. Running people over gives them brute damage and a stun, which lets you hop out and stuff them into your car with drag and drop or manually grabbing them. Fits up to 30 people in the backseat.
Crashing into a wall (though not any other solid object) will fling the driver through the windshield and occasionally the passengers too. Anybody clicking on the car with an empty hand can open the door to let them out.
M.U.L.E.
By hacking a M.U.L.E., you can ride it like a surfboard! It even drives itself! Simply hack it to accept any cargo, climb on board, and set your destination with your PDA program! If you're a traitor,you also remove the safety and increase the speed and watch in glee as it runs everyone over while you scream "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!" over the radio!
Utility Tractor
All aboard the Polar Express!
Essentially a airport baggage cart that's also a freight train. Found in Tech Storage and Customs. Can transport crates, items, humans, ANYTHING, just by dragging and dropping its sprite onto an adjacent cargo cart. Connect new carts to it by dragging and dropping additional carts to the last cart of the tractor train. Drag and drop again to disconnect the carts. Strangely enough, only the actual tractor is solid, so other players can walk through the cargo carts with ease. Even stranger, it shares the same taser and laser immunities as the forklift.
Martian Rover
You have to repair it first with various parts scatted about the outpost, but once you do, it's pretty awesome. Specifically designed to resist dust storms, it's also similar to the forklift in that it completely hides your identity while you're inside it.
Go-Kart
A fun virtual vehicle! Drag and drop your character on it and race for the finish line! Pick up power-ups and ride the yellow arrows for massive speed boosts! It's mainly only used in the VR world, but sometimes they're found on the station through Admin shenanigans. Unlike many other vehicles, you cannot be pushed off a go-kart.
Pods and Putts
