[Design Philosophy: Ordinarily, the Carbarian is indistinguishable from a no-Template Punk of the same level, albeit with some more HP. Their true power comes from an altered state of mind. A warping of the psyche. A shamanistic link to one's vehicle.
THE ROAD RAGE!
In it, a Carbarian not only becomes the rival of the Road Warrior, gaining an extra attack, but can perform impossible feats of mechanical mastery by sacrificing their own life force, the Guzzoline of the human body. The Carbarian is a short burning fuse, driven to self-destructive ends atop a mountain of blood, oil and fire. This is a rework of Lexi's Carbarian, keeping the Rage Dice but otherwise bringing it back to the standard Barbarian.]

| Carbarian: This guy |
Carbarian
The Carbarian is no mere mechanic. No, their near-spiritual connection to their vehicle manifests with impossible feats. When the Road Rage spikes through their veins, when the taste of Guzzoline is dearer to them than water, you don't want to come up against them on or off the car.
Carbarian: Gain +2 HP for every Carbarian template you possess.
A: +1 RD, Road Rage, WITNESS ME!
B: +1 RD One with the Machine
C: +1 RD Fire and Steel
D: +1 RD Chrome Dome
A: Road Rage: You have Rage Dice, which are d4s. When you want to enter a rage, roll any number of your Rage Dice. The rage lasts for (sum) minutes. Rage Dice burn out on 3s or 4s, and only return on a daily or long rest. When you roll doubles or triples on your Rage Dice, you get the related effect from the table.
While raging, you get an extra attack each round and (sum) bonus temporary Hit Points.You can't take any actions that don't contribute to you brutally murdering things while you're raging, and it automatically expires when all enemies are dead, subdued, or driven off, regardless of how much time is left. You can try to end your rage early on a 1-in-4.
Doubles
1. Triple your Speed. Automatically Breach.
2. You can pick which Breaches or Wounds your attacks with your vehicle deal. Halve your Speed.
3. Increase the range of squares you can move to by 1. Successful Handling tests increase it by a further 1. Anyone else in the vehicle while you're moving has to save or take d4 bludgeoning damage.
4. Take no damage from Ramming attacks. You can't reduce your Speed.
Triples
1. Whenever you deal damage to a vehicle, you can move your Speed again in any direction. You take damage with advantage from Ramming attacks.
2. Treat your Vehicle as if it had an additional Accessory of your choice. Using that Accessory costs 1 Vehicle HP.
3. Whenever you attack with your vehicle, you must make a Charisma check to perform a Stunt of your choice. Whenever any of your Stunts fail, you suffer d4 Psychic damage.
4. Roll twice on the Doubles table.
A: WITNESS ME!
Sacrifice 1d4 of your own HP to do one of the following: - Restore that many of your Vehicle's HP - Step up your Fuel die, or restore it to a d4 if you're out of gas - Increase your Speed by that much - Pass a Handling test to move further - Make a Charisma check. If you succeed, Stunt (as per the human-scale combat rules).
B: One With The Machine

[Design Philosophy: The Road Warrior is built for reliability in a world of chaos. When their compatriots have exhausted themselves with superhuman acts of punkery, the Road Warrior is still there, breaking skulls and driving fast. They are the rock that a Diesel Punk crew relies on to be kicking ass and taking names at the end of the day.]

[Design Philosophy: While the Carbarian can be a cast-from-HP caster, the Wrench Wizard is really closer to a cleric. All PCs are competent in the maintenance and repair of vehicles (duh) but the Wrench Wizard can do the same while taking heavy fire and hanging off the side of a speeding truck. A Wrench Wizard's Eureka Dice (ED) represent fleeting comprehension of the machine on an intuitive level, a frantic clarity, and their Blueprints allow them to upgrade vehicles during downtime and craft strange new machines.]
