Potato Smidgen - Kei Car

Note: This vehicle's active stabilizers do not work in low physics detail. You can still drive it perfectly fine, but be cautious because rolling your car at 115 mph is not a fun experience.

Have you ever said to yourself, “Dang, I wish that I had a car that was comically small, utterly lacking in utility, and awful to drive”? Well, I certainly have the perfect vehicle for you! Introducing the Potato Smidgen, one of the cars of all time! It features:
-Seating for 1 (assuming you’re rockin’ that Peter Dinklage build)
-3 wheels
-Working doors (sometimes)
-Side mirrors (non-functional, we ran out of money)
-Digital dashboard
-Pop-up headlights (*happy James Pumphrey noises*)
-Blinky lights
-An engine (sold separately)

This little goober turns like a battleship but is reasonably small and quick. I don’t really know what else to say here, if you care about driving small cars and nothing else, give the Smidgen a whirl!

Ok, so all jokes aside, I originally built this vehicle nearly 3 ½ years ago but abandoned it because I got tired of trying to fix the poor handling characteristics. Since I had some free time this winter break, I decided to try and finish this project. It still drives like garbage, but at least now it has some funny gimmicks to offset that, so now I can sleep a little better at night.

I doubt anybody actually reads this, but it’s here just in case lol

Notes
*On paper, the fuel capacity should be 31.25L, but the Space DLC messed up fluid tanks. As a result, the vehicle only has ~3.64L of fuel when spawned in, though this can be increased to ~10L if you manually fill the fuel tank.*
**Since engine load/speed varies wildly on road vehicles when under normal operating conditions, getting accurate range estimates is very difficult. Assuming you are travelling at maximum speed at full throttle, you can travel ~40km. However, if you use the vehicle under more normal conditions, you should be able to get a few hundred kms of range.**

I also borrowed the steering microcontroller from SS1’s MICRO-3

If it wasn’t obvious enough, this vehicle is heavily inspired by the Ibishu Wigeon from BeamNG.drive. Funny cheese wedge car goes brrrrrrrrr
