How about a flipping system to 'right' your vehicle if it ever land on it's side or top? I have always wondered about that. In a roll, you have a good chance to have the duel end with your vehicle on it's side or top. Then you get out with a hand weapon and you are hit by a 40 mph opposing vehicle and fly 20 feet.
Another thing - forget the vehicle building... we need realistic and simplistic rules for maneuvering and hazard results from losing control! I mean - when it says skid, which way ... and does the car gain control after it? Does the vehicle continue traveling the new direction from the skid or does it 'even out' and go straight again? I am going to do an 'odessy' of my own and look into crashes. Results like rolls, skids, fishtails, what happens when you hit a pedestrian, hitting walls and what happens after, ect.
