Night City Joyrides: How to Reunite With Your Lost Love (That is, Your Car)
Ah, Night City. The chrome and concrete jungle where dreams flicker faster than a neon sign. But even in this neon paradise, heartbreak can strike – and often, it comes on four wheels. We've all been there, choomba. You park your trusty (or not-so-trusty) ride in a "safe" zone, only to find it replaced by a pile of glowing scrap and a haunting question: Where did my car go?
Fear not, fellow denizen! This guide will be your roadmap to getting back behind the wheel of your automotive bestie.

1. The Patience Route: When Waiting is (Almost) Fun
Let's face it, in Night City, "safe" is a relative term. If your car wasn't joyridden by a pack of booster-addled punks, it might have been lovingly "borrowed" by the ever-reliable Delamain AI. Don't worry, they're not stealing it (probably). Just take a deep breath, grab a ramen burger, and wait for a text. Delamain, bless their glitchy circuits, will eventually send word that your car is "back in service" (which hopefully means they haven't replaced the engine with a toaster).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.![]()
Pro-Tip: This waiting game can be a real drag. Fill the void with some good old-fashioned cybernetic enhancements! Maybe snag a new arm while you're at it, you never know when a street brawl might break out.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.![]()
2. The Action Hero Route: Because Violence (Sometimes) Solves Problems
Maybe patience isn't your strong suit. Maybe you crave the thrill of the hunt (or the sweet release of punching someone in the face). Here's the bad news: there's no handy "Track My Car" app in Night City. But fear not, there's always a hustle!
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.![]()

Hit the Streets (Literally): Talk to the greasers, the back alley mechanics, anyone who might have seen your car getting towed (or worse, getting chopped into spare parts). Offer a reward – cold hard eddies work wonders, but a convincing cyber-threat might do the trick too.

The Delamain Debacle: If your car woes stem from the friendly neighborhood AI, things get a little more explosive. Delamain's having a bit of an existential crisis, and it manifests in the form of rogue cabs terrorizing the city. Complete the "Epistrophy" side quests to help Delamain sort out their circuits. Bonus: You might even get a chance to wreck some rogue cabs – a therapeutic way to vent your frustration.
Remember: Violence is always a last resort. You might end up owing more eddies in repairs than your car is even worth.
3. Embrace the Chaos: Because Sometimes, Fate Takes the Wheel
Let's be honest, sometimes the best things in Night City happen by accident. Maybe while searching for your lost ride, you stumble upon a legendary weapon cache. Maybe you get tangled up in a high-stakes heist with a crew of colorful characters (just make sure they're not the ones who stole your car!). The point is, Night City thrives on chaos. Embrace the unexpected, and who knows, you might just end up with a better car (or a killer robotic arm) at the end of it all.
So there you have it, choomba! A (mostly) comprehensive guide to reclaiming your lost car in the vibrant hellhole that is Night City. Remember, patience is a virtue, violence is a last resort, and sometimes, the best outcome is the one you never saw coming. Now get out there, and reclaim your ride (or find something even better)!
