This was pretty much my Mako experience in a nutshell. xD

I loved that Austin Powers scene... gods bless Mike Myers - absolutely hilarious!
Though I find it funny how my initial reaction to the Mako was "It's just like a cat! No matter how many times it flips and rotates in midair, or how far it falls, it always lands on its wheels!"

I learned how to master the Mako quite easily. Fair enough it's worse then a drunk Warthog from Halo but hey, it hovers! Missile comes in, fly away!

And you can run over most of your foes at your own lesure.

And you can run over most of your foes at your own lesure. Well, I am ashamed to admit I took a rather longish break from playing Mass Effect 1... bad bad me... I drove around a bit in the Mako the first time I took it out for a spin, and for some reason, I could not figure out how to disembark from Mako to walk on the planets... so I saved the game on the first planet I touched down on, and left it alone for a while. Tonight, I loaded that save after futzing around with the controls (with Linders' help) and figured out that I'd inadvertently re-mapped the control for the Mako when I re-mapped the control for holstering my weapon. Silly me. Now, having figured out how to get around easier, I started exploring and had a rather nasty encounter with a gang of Geth. It took me a ton of tries to beat them; until I remembered your advice, Tillian - run over enemies whenever possible! Ooh, the giggles I got from sending the little Gethies flying by running them down in the Mako! ;D It was kinda cute - until I beat the first wave and the little blighters sent in reinforcements to get revenge on me! Bah. And Bah again.

The Mako can be a pain, even though I love the thing.
My tip is to run away if you need to - as soon as you're on fire - and fix the car / recharge your shields. I also like to drive back and forth so the geth miss more often.
Also listen to this as you drive:
How eerily appropriate are these lyrics? 'Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!'

I don't know why I felt compelled to write this: Name that transport the size of a tree With six big wheels But only seats three.
It's the Makoooo! It's the Makoooo!
Practice all you'd like before duty calls This sucker's magnetically attracted to walls.
It's the Makoooo! Yah! It's the Makoooo! (It's the Makoooo.)
The Alliance needs you if we're gonna survive, So here's a vehicle you need a doctorate to drive.
It's the Makoooo! It's the Makoooo!
The thing's a death trap, don't call it a ride 'Cause half its time runnin' will be spent on its side.
It's the Makoooo! It's the Makoooo! Yah!
If Saren ain't scared, then he'll be real soon; Shepard's got the only car that drives like a balloon.
It's the Makoooo-oh! It's the MAKOOOO!

I want the special power of that squad member to involve lifting their kilt, flashing the enemy, and shouting 'FEAST YER EYES!' It should approximate a flash bang effect. I only just saw a trailer for the animated movie "Brave" where a Scottish man did just that - he lifted the back of his kilt and mooned the other guy and said "Feast yer eyes!" Did you get this from the trailer, or were you just being awesomely clairvoyant? ;D
