car just vanished...it hasn't been stolen

Okay so i'm in reno, i leave to go to broken hills. Now get this i'm driving, but when i get t broken hills my car is not there. also when i left reno i didn't get in my car, i just walked off screen, i had left my car at the New reno arms. anyways when i was at BH my car wasn't there but it wouldn't let me stand where it was supposed to be. Almost like it was invisisble. So i leave BH by walking of the screen...but now i'm driving my car on the world map. So i stop in the middle of the desert. still no car. i walk off the screen, and when the world map comes up, i'm no longer in my car. Am i screwed? I tried looking all over reno and back at BH.. Where is my car?

yeah, that happens sometimes... just a bug i think...
i had about the same problem, but a little bit funnier.
the car disappeared, only thing was left was the trunk...

Ah, the car bugs. Just count the sesame seeds in a hamburger and multiply by the number you first thought of and you'd be close. As for the trunk, maybe you could convert it into a chariot? Get some brahmin to pull it along, eh.

I've noticed sometimes the car gets really buggy if I play the game too long at a time. Save and exit the game. (You may even want to restart your computer.) Then restart the game and load the game save. Check to see if there's a small green circle on the world map with the words "Car Outta power" under it. If not, try searching BH and New Reno. If you still have no luck, you may indeed be in trouble.

Your last hope would be to patch the game (if you haven't already). Check the download sections of this board for the patch. You'll also want to get the saved game converter utility as well, because the patch will destroy your saved game. After patching the game and converting your save, the car might be there. (Or maybe not. Sorry.)

Good luck!

BTW, the car is not essential to complete the game. It's just something to drag around your stuff in. I've completed the game a few times without it, no problem.
