This is my first serious car (April 2015) and I'm really proud of it. :) This is a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda ('Cuda) drag racing car or funnycar, derived like you've never seen it before. The first of my Candycar Series, this car is insane, with see-through fibreglass bodywork, psychedelic colours, simulated super-bright chrome work, skateboard style wheels, carbon fibre cockpit, and colour-co-ordinated engine accessories. Watermelon red body with Teal tyres, Lime green seat and parachute. The reflections are specially designed for my Salt Lake room, even the tyres have salt on them! This car will work with my Salt Lake Drag Strip. Comes with heaps of triggers:

"ccuda1Rstart" the sound of the engine starting up and idling will be heard.
"ccuda1Rburn" the wheels spin and the sound of a burnout can be heard.
"ccuda1Rup" raises the body so that the engine can be seen.
"ccuda1Rdown" lowers it again.
"go!" a special trigger designed to work in concert with my Salt Lake Drag Strip. Place this car on the strip furniture node before typing this trigger. The wheels will spin and the sound of the engine will be heard, co-ordinated with the track animation.
"goback" activates an engine sound and wheel rotation to match the time left between the "go!" sound and the end of the track, when the car begins its return journey. The sound sample is approx 12 seconds, so if you time it just right you can have it synchronise with the car's movement on the track.
"ccuda1Rwheels" activates a perpetual rotation of the wheels and engine idle which is good for cruising around on other tracks.
the above mentioned animation can be stopped by typing "ccuda1Rwheelstop" which freezes the wheels permanently until the room is exited.
"ccudaRstop" activates the sound of the engine idling and then cutting out.

Each car is coded with a different precursor to the triggers so that you can control your car collection individually. The exceptions are the "go!" and "goback" triggers which co-ordinate with the dragstrip track. To help you remember: C is for Candy, Cuda is for the fish, 1 is for the Series, and R is for Red.

Is that salt on the tyres, or cocaine?
