Independent Futurist. Contrarian (titled, X votes where X is the number of votes as the acting minion.) Target Vitals is always the better combat card.

Ok I admit it, I've LARPed.
Now that we've got that out of the way, this idea occurred to me. A tactic a I've seen more than one person employ is they use Possesion or Astral Projection and ride around in a vehicle surrounded by loyal ghouls while they go do their thing in the possessed body or astrally projected.
Well how would that tactic carry out in v:tes? (besides the sub-par, perhaps underrated card "Ghoul Escort")
Armored Limo
Vehicle
3
This vampire cannot be the target of
actions while in torpor. You may tap this card to make an action to rescue a vampire unblockable. You may tap this card to reduce the cost of rescuing a vampire from torper by two blood. You may tap this card to untap this minion in torpor. A vampire can only have one Armored Limo.
Possession Suit
2
Ghoul Ally with 3 life, 1 strength, 1 bleed.
During your untap phase tap this minion. You may chose to tap the acting vampire during your untap phase, if you do so, untap this minion. This minion may use the basic level of disciplines that the acting vampire possesses. Any blood cost is paid in life. If the acting vampire is burned, burn this ally.
as above, but may use the superior versions of disciplines and 4 life.
There are probably so many things wrong with the above cards! Lay it on me, how would you abuse these cards? How would you fix em?
I was considering writing Possession Suit to read as below: thought I would include it:
Another possibility is to make Possession Suit an action modifier. Would be like Blood Brother Ambush , except the ally would be able to use the disciplines of the vampire.

Possession Suit reminds me Bima.
Considering the superior level to illustrate, I think it can be easily abused for the following reasons:
- for 2 blood, it has 4 life = 4 blood to spend on cards. So it means a gain of 2 blood to spend on cards
- it can block a rush, protecting your vampires, and act like a vampire, once again protecting your vampires from a dangerous blocking minion
- it is an ally that can take the archon investigation in stead of the vampire, and play daring the dawn.
Typically, in a DOM/for deck, it would be a nightmare because of the blood it creates to play those expensive dominate cards, could play GtU+Conditioning in daring the dawn with no drawback.
Armored Limo:
Typically, vehicles only are useful for the minion that uses it. Here, it grants benefits to anyone, it doesn't fit.
