Vehicles
Vehicles give their users the ability to move much faster on the worldmap. They have to be refueled and repaired from time to time. Depending on your charisma and the car's available number of slots, you can take your friends with you for a drive. A car with three slots will be able to carry the driver and two passengers. Outdoorsman is not applied while in a car.
Note that cars have a different spawn point than normal humans, and can be useful in a well-organisated attack.

Use
With the car's key in your inventory, just click on the car to move on the worldmap with it. Player that have tagged you will have an option to follow you, if they are close enough.
Purchase
You can buy cars from T-Ray in New Reno (Gas Station area, at the north-east). Just talk to him with caps in your inventory and you'll be able to buy a car. The car will spawn right after that near you, in T-Ray's garage, and you'll have a key in your inventory. Cars have dynamic prices, like mercs: the more cars are bought, the more they cost.
New Keys
As you need to have the car's key in your inventory to be able to use it, and as you can die pretty quickly in FOnline: 2238, you can ask T-Ray to make yourself a new key for your car. Just talk to him and select the right option when holding key in hand. It will cost you some caps. Take care, if someone gets your car's key, if he finds the car - he can only by trying the key on all the game's cars, fortunately - he will be able to drive it.
Selling
To sell your car, you need to visit someone who will be interested in this. Talk with T-Ray or any caravan dealer when holding key to car in hand. Keep in mind that car must be on same map, as car dealer.
Vehicle Maintenance
If your car runs out of fuel it will stop on the world map. You have to refuel it from time to time by clicking on it and selecting the little bag icon. Then click on Small Energy Cells in your inventory, and your car will be refueled with more power. You will also have to repair it from time to time (Using the Repair skill) with Tool or Super Tool Kit in your hand.
