And just about every other kind of motorized vehicle.  (I remember he did pretty well with sled dogs in one ep)  Can you have Gremlin for a specific type of item, or is it only a general technology thing?

If it was just for flavor's sake, you could work something out with the GM, reduce the flaw by one point, and have it apply to only vehicles.

I don't know that I would allow it, other than for flavor's sake.

it's only a one point flaw.

would be easyer to take 'incompatence drive'
and leave it at that.

You need to upgrade to Total Pacifist. Doesn't Mc Guyver never kill, or even use a weapon, EVER?? I have to admit that I loathed that show with a deep, black passion, so I don't know just how far his pacifism went.

Depends.  It's hard to tell from the rules, but can a Total Pacifist fight back with nonlethal force?  If so, then yeah, I'd say he'd be a Total Pacifist, otherwise I'd leave it at the lower version.

Total pacifists are very capable of defending themselves, but will NOT, under any cercumstances, kill somoene. A pacifist, on the other hand, can be pushed to kill someone, but only if there is no other option (or he feels there is no other option). And if a pacifist decides that he has to kill you, he will make it as quick and painless as possible.

Ok, then I'd probably agree he'd be a Total Pacifist.  He has no problem using guns, he just uses them as wrenches, levers, props, signaling, spooking...

There you go then: Total Pacifist, Incompetent: Cars, Colledge Education, Vocational Education, Aptitude: B/R, and a drek-laod of regular B/R skills. If you went the route of an adept, you could use points to boost the B/R skills even further.

I don't think of him as a total linguist, but I think he did like spanish and portiguese or something.

At least, he spoke it well enough to understand and to bluff people not familiar with the language.
