Design Notes -This was in my draft pile, dated Oct 17, 2007.  I suspect I was experimenting with the newly discovered (to me) C/A frame. I was still in the mood to make RPG cars back then. Among all my upgrades, I tried seeing if this would work as either a sedan or midsized, and to my surprise it didn't.  For some reason, I had more weight available as a lux, despite my impression that midsizes carry more armor.  That's possibly because they don't have enough room for stuff, so all that's left is loading up on armor.

Name Notes - Polydeuces is a moon of Saturn, and acc. to the Wiki: "In Greek mythology, Polydeuces is another name for Pollux, twin brother of Castor, son of Zeus and Leda."
