I would like to state that there is nothing mystical about Preachers/marshal 
artists/or scientists in real life but in deadlands they're all mystical so 
the whole "There is nothing mystical about them theory isn't really 
relevant, but I would have to agree that a soldier background type system 
would be neat. You could have backgrounds like Street Racer,Truck Driver, 
Nascar, ect. and get extra money for your car for every lv. of driving you 
have. Or you could have both. Marshal Artists get to have cool moves with 
the Marshal Arts Training edge and powers with the AB:Marshal Artist edge so 
it wouldn't be the first character type with more than one type of special 
abilities. Either way I would make an edge worth 3 pts. allowing characters 
to spend chips on their cars. The only thing you don't want to do is make it 
only apply to one car because as you stated "Its been my experience all to 
much that vehicles get torn up way to fast in the game. 1 Automaton later 
and your calling for the wrecking crew." and then half their beginning 
character pts. are wasted.
