I want to be Flash-ed

[Corax]

Ok so first I want to apologize for the poor punny joke for the title.

This was an amusing choice of words that seem best suited for catching attention.

Now onto what this is all about.

We've talked on these forums up and down about the various vehicles. But our baby the quad/atv/Flash hasn't got much love up until now.

So with the release of the Grenade Launcher attachment, lets see what other things you think would be appropriate for our favorite lil-speedy fourwheeler.

Please post anything you think would be an awesome choice to have!

Sidecars!
It allows for teams to infiltrate together into forward location (read snipers).
It turns the Flash into an amazing little attack bike for harassing tanks/infantry/air.
It can be a great asset on the battlefield with little wolfpacks of these babies flying over the place.
Provides a very rapid response team for enemy vehicles or MAX units.
But is still balanced as they can not slug it out long term.
Allows for a chance for a very fun, very fast, team centered play.

Besides, you know you want your bestfriend right there with you when you ramp off a cliff, guns blazing, turbocharge boosting, and you clearing the gully/tank/air cav Duke of Hazards style.
