V's Wheels Woes: A Guide to Getting Your Ride Back on the Road (Night City Edition)
So, you're V, the hottest solo in Night City. You've probably just punched your way out of a gang war, double-crossed a corporation, or maybe even (whoops) totalled your car during a particularly enthusiastic escape. Now you're stuck hoofing it around the city like some kinda chump. Fear not, fellow merc! This handy guide will have you back behind the wheel and cruising the neon-drenched streets in no time.
How To Get V's Car Back |
Where'd My Ride Go, Choom?
There are two main culprits for your automotive amnesia:
QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.![]()

Delamain's Delinquent Delinquents: Remember that fancy self-driving car you borrowed from the overly enthusiastic AI? Yeah, turns out those chrome-plated beauties have a mind of their own these days. You might find yours chilling out in a random alleyway, hosting a rave for rogue AIs, or (worst case scenario) starring in a high-speed police chase you didn't even know about. Don't worry, a quick chat with Delamain (via those creepy glowing taxi-cabs) should sort things out... eventually.

Mama Welles' Mechanical Mishap: Look, Jackie's old clunker was full of heart, but not exactly known for its reliability. Did it sputter and cough its last breath in the middle of a firefight? Did you somehow manage to park it on top of a Scav hideout? In these cases, my friend, it's time to let go and move on. Night City is a graveyard for dreams (and apparently, jalopies).
Getting Back in the Driver's Seat
Option 1: The Waiting Game (For the Patient Merc)
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.![]()
If your missing car is Delamain's problem, then grab a noodle bowl and settle in. Those rogue AI cabs take their sweet time (probably busy existential pondering or downloading cat videos). Just be warned: patience is a rare commodity in Night City. You might be rocking a serious case of grey hair before your wheels reappear.
Option 2: The Wheeler-Dealer (For the Resourceful Merc)
Lost hope in Delamain's ever-so-reliable service? Night City's got a thriving black market for everything, including slightly-used (and possibly still-smoking) vehicles. Just be sure you're packing enough heat to convince the seller you're a serious customer, not some joyriding psycho.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.![]()
Option 3: The Grand Theft Auto (Not Recommended, for Obvious Reasons)
Look, I'm not judging. We've all been there. But remember, Night City's finest (and by "finest" I mean most trigger-happy) don't take kindly to grand theft auto. Unless you've got a death wish and a knack for disappearing acts, maybe skip this "shortcut" and stick to the (slightly less lethal) options.
Bonus Tip: Befriend a Mechanic (Seriously!)
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.![]()
Night City's streets are rough on even the sturdiest vehicles. Having a good mechanic on speed dial can save you a ton of eddies (and headaches) in the long run. They might even be able to soup up your ride with some sweet chrome accents or bulletproof tires (because, you know, Night City).
There you have it, chooms! With a little patience, a sprinkle of luck, and maybe a healthy dose of violence, you'll be back behind the wheel and tearing through Night City in no time. Just remember, the open road (or at least the pothole-ridden streets) awaits!
