spy sports car
Plural: spy sports' cars
This car is the legendary G-6155 Interceptor, with all the bells and whistles you could possibly want. It's no Aston Martin, but those can't get upgrades by driving into the back of a semi trailer, either. This particular car has been outfitted with an impressive suite of defensive countermeasures, including a smoke screen and the ever popular oil slicks. It also gets insane gas mileage, meaning you'll save a fortune over the life of the vehicle.

Using a spy tux

(if level 4 or above)

You press a button labeled 'F' on the steering wheel, and before you can say chitty-chitty, the car shifts and changes, turning into a mini-sub. And if you did this while anywhere but a dock, you're now kind of stuck.

You got an item: spy submarine

Use again

(if level 3 or below)

You press some button on the steering wheel, causing the car to fold into a neatly pressed tuxedo. Best. Button. Ever.

You got an item: spy tux

Use again

Other Uses

• Sometimes, during combat, you'll get one of the following messages blocking your enemy's attack:

You hit a button in your schwanky spy car. It turns into a submarine for a second, bewildering your foe long enough for you to act.

or

You hit a button in your schwanky spy car. The speakers blast 'Turkey in the Straw' and your opponent is momentarily distracted looking for the ice cream truck.

or

You hit a button in your schwanky spy car. It does something amazing, but your opponent is too busy looking out for spy hot air balloons to notice. Jerk.

or

You hit the 'spy smoke slick' button in your schwanky spy car, momentarily blinding your opponent with smoke.

or

You hit the 'spy oil screen' button in your schwanky spy car, coating your opponent in oil and temporarily immobilizing them.

or

You can't decide between the 'spy smoke slick' and 'spy oil screen' buttons in your schwanky spy car, so you hit both, covering your opponent in smoky oil.

It's just a shame there wasn't a 'spy <foe name> repellant' button.
