Black Dog - Haunted Truck
International Lonestar 2080 Model - Dual Fuel Diesel/Spook Juice. Diesel was still king for truck fuels in the CSA, thanks to the abundance of oil fields throughout the South and the oil platforms of the Gulf. But, spook juice had gained ever greater popularity after the fuel crises of the 1970s. The International Lonestar was once cutting-edge, but by 2080 was becoming obsolete. This particular truck is in impossibly good condition for surviving Judgement Day and everything that followed. Like a time capsule sealed up in the days just before the world went to Hell....

Truck Rules
The Black Dog is a Jinx. A Fate Eater. It powers itself by stealing from your fate. Your luck. This gives it some special abilities.
1. - Players may spend a Chip to Soak damage for the Truck just like a normal soak, using the Player's Spirit.
2. - Players may spend a Chip to allow the Black Dog to make a "natural" healing roll one per day. The effort of this healing means the "Driver" can't be called on for anything else the rest of that day. The Black Dog can only repair itself back to its 2080 original stock self.
3. - Players may spend Chips to allow the "Driver" to step in. White Chips allow the "Driver" to help, granting +2 to Drive and Repair rolls regarding the Black Dog. Red and Blue Chips allow the "Driver" to completely take the wheel (D10 Driving) for 3 Rounds.
There may be more things it can do....
Bad Luck
The Truck, being a luck-sucking jinx, causes bad luck all around it. Feel free to play up the bad luck minor-ly however you like. Once per scene, you can get a free chip draw if you use the bad luck to put your character in a Bad Way. Subject to GM approval of course.
