Well, double suspension. Looks like there are leafs on the axle and then the front row gets it's own suspension. Like a semi truck.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have any shock absorbers.

Full-elliptic leaf springs, two in the rear, one traverse spring in the front.

I believe that's called a buckboard coach, but that shit is so complicated, I could be entirely wrong.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Note that in earlier designs, large longitudinal leaf springs served as both the frame and suspension of the vehicle.

Sword case and a pistol holder? Wouldn't the pistol make the sword obsolete? Or is this a vehicle specially made for fencers?

Single shot smoothbore pistols were unreliable , inaccurate, and took about a minute to reload. They were better for scaring people off than actually stopping them.

Since the pistol probably has a 65% chance of misfiring its single shot, and takes several minutes to reload, the sword is quite necessary.

You think things, but I think them several minutes later.

By this logic a station wagon is a lowered minivan. Lets not be ridiculous

First minivans were literally car frames, first SUVs were truck frames, now most SUVs are car frames, so yes most SUVs now are minivans without sliding doors.
