Street Rod

Also, the police may fine you during a Pink slip race. The period is marked by the development of various innovations in slaughterhouse technologies, not all of them particularly long-lasting. Crashing during the race will either total your car, or requre you to pay a fee in order to get it fixed. The wording of the 1933 act specifically outlaws the poleaxe. When the race starts, the player must wait for a signal to be given to go or else they forfeit the race. The Humane Slaughter Act of 1933 in Britain, for example, was specifically conceived not only to make stunning compulsory, but moreover to make particularly modern incarnations of stunning, such as the captive-bolt pistol and electric tongs, the means by which it was achieved. Wagers on the races can be set from "Just for fun!" (no wager) to cash to "Pink Slips" (the winner recieves the loser's car). The discourse of progress and humanity in morals and technology were thus intimately intertwined.

Races take place on either a dragstrip, Mulholland drive, or in an aquaduct. The belief that this was unnecessarily cruel and painful to the animal being slaughtered was the rhetorical justification for, in many countries, the compulsory adoption of stunning methods, almost all associated with 'modern' technology. The player will proceed from the garage to the local diner in order to find some competiton to race. Prior to humane, slaughter pistols and electric stunners pigs, sheep and other animals (excepting cattle) were simply struck while fully conscious. While racing, the car will eventually run out of fuel, which the payer must obtain from the gas station. In Britain and Europe more widely the development of stunning technologies occurred largely in the first half of the twentieth century. To install tires, the car must be jacked up. This process has been common for centuries in the case of cattle, who were poleaxed prior to being bled out.

Then, these parts must be re-installed in order and the screws replaced, otherwise the car will be undrivable. Stunning is the process of rendering animals immobile or unconscious prior to their being slaughtered for food. New parts that are purchased must be installed by the player by entering the hood of or going under the car and then removing a series of screws to remove parts of the engine and transmission. The player starts off on the garage, where cars and parts may be purchased from the newspaper. Using money you earn through races you can modify your car and eventually winning enough races earns you the right to challenge the king for his position.

Equipped with a garage and a small amount of cash, you buy a used car out of the paper and embark on a journey to rise through the ranks by winning races against other racers. You start the game as a protagonist that seeks to usurp the throne and claim the girlfriend of the local king of the streets. . Street Rod exclusively feaured Muscle Cars, specifically those from GM, Ford, and Chrysler.
