Since it'll save me all four damage and keep The Beast alive for now, I'll use a boost (I know you wrote that I had 2 available but I'm pretty sure I only have 1).
I'll probably want to go first at the start of the round to make use of that before I get meat ground again, but we can see how exactly things look.
I'm running out the door as I post this. Double check my bookkeeping.

I don't have a car to worry about anymore. I'll probably go for the Stop Hitting Yourself stunt. Bursar gets that free leap action and is also a candidate, but getting out the meatgrinder way might be a priority.

(Alas, my poor car took a point during the last SUV activation so it's at 7/8)
Having 0 boosts feels very bad for reliably accomplishing anything. I could move up by Bursar and YOLO on clothesline (3 coin flips on 4 dice isn't great, but also I sure have rolled it on <=3 a few times now ), or just reposition and take a boost so that I'm primed to actually accomplish the next thing I try to do. Or I could go to G5 and ram the SUV in front of the tank to hopefully have it smoosh that, and it still gives Bursar the opportunity to knock one into the 3 lane (or 5 lane if the tank moves).
Thoughts relative to things everybody else wants to do?
If a wreck were to... happen... to appear in J4 and the other enemy cars did not move, would the end of round actions destroy both the cars at H4 and I4 as well as damaging the Tank?

It sure looks like I'm going last again, which is fine. Another Speed stunt might come up if I wait.
Tank should be at 8, I think? I knocked a SUV into it.

Ah, yep. Apologies, I meant to take a turn but have had a few hectic days with the lad.
I choose to employ YOLO and do a Cool Thing that's probably not the actual best move.
Move to H5. Attempt stunt - Clothesline on SUV (H4)
The Boost from Stop Hitting Yourself is mighty tempting, but it's also one of the few ways to deal damage from behind. I'll try to set up some potential damage and maybe cause some havoc downroad.

I'm pretty sure some things weren't handled right in there ...
1. MrBody was brawled off my car during the enemy action on my turn (goons) and selected a car adjacent to Auralynx as their target landing spot, but then in the last board spread is still on top of my car. The first move on their turn was also to leap onto an adjacent SUV (one they could have targeted to land on when brawled), eating that action when it wasn't necessary. MrBody, you should probably take a second action (just try the stunt again for simplicity? I'd bet you would have done anyway).
2. During Beatdown I wouldn't have taken any any damage thanks to 3 successes + grit for 4 successes. Meat Grinder would similarly have been 2 successes + grit for only 1 damage. I would be at 6/8 health after the events concluded.
3. Again counting grit, my car survived the above rolls (of the 4 sets rolled only two actually deal any damage to me, leaving me at 3/8 health - the worst possible case AFAICT).
4. MrBody rolled the SUV result, and SUVs only move if the active player has a player vehicle, so the E4 SUV remains in place behind the tank.
Unfortunately nothing here saves Auralynx from his smacks, so alas you're jumping to an SUV. Also odds are pretty good we roll SUVs again and I get demolished anyway, but hey, I'll ride this baby into the ground yet. @Auralynx you're the only one left this round after MrBody takes a new second action, so pick whatever SUV you want to make your next move against.
Ah, looks legit. I guess back then I would have leaped onto the SUV at E4.

The smoking ruins of the surrounding cars were merely a transitory blur. His instincts took over as he extricated himself through the very window his assailant had besieged, slamming through the rear windscreen of one of Shaw's nearby accomplices. He neatly subdued the driver with a forbidden technique taught him by a gray-robed adept of an obscure Oriental discipline, seizing control of the phaethon as it hurtled down the road.
@MrBody I assume I get to draw the new car before doing anything else?

I don't know that hijacked SUVs have special abilities (I think the space where this would be is empty), but I can at least tell you the stats from this image:

It would be nice to control the number of SUVs out at the moment, but not knowing what stunts are out there it would also feel bad if we needed them behind the tank again.
Just do what you want and think is cool.
