Total Count: 82
Anyway, here goes!
Step 1: Mount the screws and halfmoons on the frame of the car as shown.
Step 2: Make 2 of these
Step 3: Mount like so and add a black rod and elbow connector.
Step 4: Make one of these
Step 5: Make 2 of these
Step 6: Make 2 of these
Step 7: Join to make two of these
Step 8: Mount like so
Step 9: Mount like so. Finito!
Pros:
-Realistic Eurofighter Car
-Provides the base for a car which canbe used for many other style cars (I will edit in a Maurer Sohne X-car later.
-Built-in Chaindog(s), by adjusting how far screws go in you can choose which is chaindog.
-Can cope with launches.
-Track width to car width is approximately the same is a traditional Eurofighter
Cons:
-If using both screws as chaindogs, the car loses considerable speed due to being unable to rotate as much
-Chaindogs are immovable/fixed.
-Heavy
-Requres the original 'Vertical Vengeance' set + any other Micro K'nex set.
-Wide, so it's recommended you leave an extra white rod gap each side when building to ensure no collisions.
X-car tutorial coming later.

Micronexer, I loved your Idea & customized it for SS I think it turned out OK.
even the people can ride it ( but the girls have to remove their hair first).
still have to add a chaindog, but that is just minor. Thanks for getting my gears grinding.
Yes the wheels are attached with rubber bands. they allow the car to twist and swivel with the track
