The Charleston
For PINK's 1950s/60s challenge.
In the 1950s, everyone was trying to turn their cars into jet fighters. Some more literally than others. Say hello to the Charlston, a commercially sold luxury car with the added luxury of aerial combat! Oh, and it has a "nuke" (500lb bomb) cannon, for when yoou just can't escape traffic, even in the air. The car's big block V8 pumps out an impressive 200 HP, but that's nothing compared to the masses of force provided by it's internal jet engines, which have enough power to push the craft past 500 MPH. Those engines exhaust's are hidden, of course. You can't have a big gaping exhaust pipe on a luxury car - That would be plain unseemly.
1 and VTOL down closes the wings.
2 toggles jet engines.
3 and VTOL up lowers the "nuke" cannon.
4 fires the nuke canon.
5 is left indicators.
6 is head and brake lights.
7 is right indicators.
Notes: Tends to list to the right a little at high speeds on the ground, and it's not a massive fan of bumps (thank's to the nuke). It's also more of a pathetic nuke finger thing, not a cannon. Only mod used in creation is a positioner mod.
