In the last case of the game, was it ever clarified that Gumshoe owned a car, or did he borrow one to get the evidence?

He apparently seems a little too poor to own a car, so... I figured he always had a bike, like Phoenix.

He specifically refers to it as "my hunk of junk car," so yes, he owns it.

Also, Phoenix has a bike? When was that mentioned?

Ah, thank you so much!

I don't remember if it was mentioned or not, but there is definitely official art of it. http://www.court-records.net/arts/artbo ... gs-021.jpg

Hah. I always saw Phoenix as the taxi type, but that's probably just because he mentions taking one in 1-5. A bike works too... except when he's with someone else. What does he do, make Maya ride on the handlebars?

Take a look at that art page... in that bag Phoenix has... is that The Thinker? So THAT'S how he transports all the evidence. He carries it around with him!

There was another picture, it had the same image of him on the bike, but trailing behind him was Maya and Pearl riding on a purple bike.

I can't find that one, but it's official art, too...

Ah, yes. I found that funny. Poor Phoenix, he really needs to learn to hide his money and start his own bank account.

Yeah, sort of the same thing as Trucy and her "Magic Panties". It would explain where she got that concept! :will:

On topic, I would imagine that Gumshoe's car would be pretty worn. That poor guy just can't get a break... :sadshoe:

His car is probably something like a beat up early 80's Chevy Caprice or Ford Crown Vic that was a former Police car, and has over 300,000 miles on it. :sadshoe:

You would think Phoenix would be able to afford a car, what with being a relatively famous attorney.

Well, according to 2-2 he doesn't know a thing about cars, and doesn't have a license. So... why would he buy a car? He could probably take lessons but *shrug* And according to official art, he uses a bike (but I personally wouldn't want to get my suit sweaty before even getting in the courtroom). Then in AJ I assume Phoenix walks to most places. [actually, just from 4-2 but still]

... Right, Gumshoe doesn't have a car anymore... wonderful. Poor guy. Maybe he'll temporarily use a bike, too...

And Phoenix always gets mooched off of. His wallet is better than Gumshoe's, but not too much better, for sure.

I should hope he does get paid for the work he does, probably by the clients he gets.

Otherwise how will he pay off all those Gatewater Hotel bills?? D:

I think the state pays him a bit but...
As for the car issue, we don't need to worry about it any because it's gone now. It was probably a Laytonmobile though.

This has come up on this forum before, and it's usually agreed that, generally, Phoenix doesn't get paid for quite a few of his cases. In some cases it's due to defending a friend and/or someone who would never be able to pay him back (Maya twice, Larry, Maggey twice). Of all the cases we've seen him take, the ones most likely to have paid him are those he isn't directly friends with (Will Powers, Max Galactica). Edgeworth and Lana may or may not have paid him.


Also, keep in mind that's entirely fan speculation, and that there really isn't much proof that shows just who pays him beyond the specific times he mentions not getting paid by certain people. Of course, seeing that he still has a business after three years of practicing law, he has to get paid sometime.


As for Gumshoe's car, he does say he has one, and indeed did crash it on the way to the courtroom near the end of 2-4. Because of his "pay deductions" and bragging about his low income, I'd imagine Gumshoe having a small, used economy car, probably one that's fairly old and past its prime. It would go with his otherwise meager living style, seeing as he seems to eat nothing but microwaveable meals every night.

He probably eats instant noodles the classic way, just add water.

Also, sometimes Phoenix just takes note of the evidence, like ones that are too large to carry or he simply cannot take (e.g Don Tigre's scooter)

Well, since he works for the police, he should at least have a squad car, right?

Maybe if he had that huge sack in the basket, he wouldn't be able to see in front of him :hobolaugh:
I think Gumshoe has one of those really beaten up, really old and cheap cars. It suits him.

He doesn't have one, he carpools. (Or, at least he does in Sims...)

Also has an ongoing hatred and rivalry with Phoenix.

ANYWAY.

Gumshoe would totally drive a mini. Totally.

.....Don't try to get around my logic.

He was close to Edgeworth, so maybe in their free time Edgey got him a brand-spanking banger :edgy: ... If he doesn't have a car and had an accident on a bike, well, that's just a completely different story.
