Description
Before I go further I must say that I really, really sucked at driving Mako in Mass Effect. But still - think about it. Drop-off from several hundred metres? No problem, Mako's springs won't even squeak. Driving on planets of extreme heat or cold or even ones covered by water? Big deal. Managed to flip your vehicle upside down or have a steep mountain to go over? Worry not, laws of physics won't apply to Mako.And then again, there's my car. During summer it's like sauna on wheels. Driving on a pitted sand road makes it bump and tremble so much that sometimes I worry whether I'm leaving a trail of car parts behind me. And during past few weeks I haven't been able to open any doors because they're frozen shut - to open driver's side door I literally have to throw myself against the door several times and every time I'm afraid I will break the handle. I don't even bother to talk about snow and all the trouble it has been causing.
Seriously, I'd give a kingdom for a real-life M-35 right now. Failing that, a heated garage would be a very viable option, too.
EDIT: As if all that wasn't enough just today my car refused to start altogether. Dead battery, apparently. Aaand I have no way to charge it since the hood is frozen shut. Oh boy, how I love Finnish winter sometimes...

The car couldn't move, cause it's an old Volvo. Those suck in snow. A friend of mine had one. Now if it was a Mercedes... It would be less useless in winter (still useless, but not as much)

Lol I love the Mako too. The only thing that can stop it is a lava river!

YES~! This is perfect! I have an intense love/hate relationship with the Mako and it's a shame that it was never brought back in the other two games.

Oh, and imagine dealing with the traffic jams with the Mako cannon

So true! XD
I miss the MAKO even if it was not easy to drive it with the keyboard. I loved to go EVERYWHERE with it.
BTW, nice comic!

I hated the Mako moments in Mass Effect. You think you're about to get to the top of where you need to go, then BAM! Suddenly you're rolling back down and have to find somewhere else.
It never occurs to these people to simply land the thing next to where they need to go.

Sounds like us here in Idaho and Finland have that much in common at least.
Now, if those guys down in New Zealand can make a Warthog from Halo, lets get them to make a Mako! ^_^

I love how it isn't just me that deliberately drives the Mako off the highest cliffs - makes my stomach catch like i'm actually there.
And yeah, real-life cars suck.

Why not just put an electric heater fan or two in the garage? And during the summer, let the AC run for a few minutes before getting in?

There is no garage. There is no AC either.

No AC?
Better drink my own piss.

Ah, I loved the Mako! Was so disappointed you didn't get to drive it in ME 2 & 3.
Also, I feel mean, but your car mishaps made me laugh... I'm sorry.
