How in the FUCK are these allowed on the roads? I saw one go by me with my own two eyes and it was the BIGGEST thing on a regular old road I've ever seen, hands down.

The word punk has any interesting etymology. It started life as a 16th century term for sex worker. Over time it came to mean any criminal or ne'er do well. Punk music got its name from its origins amongst hooligans and anarchists. That's why the cyberpunk genre got punk appended to it. They were cyber-criminals. Lately when I hear steampunk or biopunk or whatever I wonder where the crime is? Its about an aesthetic more than anything else, kinda like punk music became, heh. But as a hexbear whose mere existence is criminal I have little doubt you'd manage some illegality with your solar trains.
