Design Notes -  I'm starting a series of design concepts based on 2 things that I want to rectify: there are certain weapons I never use & certain vehicle types I hardly make. So for the next few cars, I'm making Sedans plus a rare weapon. Depending on the weapon cost, I'm angling for Div20 (the most creative price-class). So, this car was expected to be: Sedan PLUS Mine-Flinger

Name Notes - Another fun element name. And, for those who care, a key element for Galaxy Quest.
As for the actual element, from the Wiki:
Beryllium is a chemical element with the symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe, usually occurring as a product of the spallation of larger atomic nuclei that have collided with cosmic rays. ... Notable gemstones which contain beryllium include beryl (aquamarine, emerald) and chrysoberyl. As a free element it is a steel-gray, strong, lightweight and brittle alkaline earth metal.
* Styx Defensive System = 6 Smoke Dischargers linked to 4 laser reactive webs (F, B, R, L; covering tires of those sides as well) & 4 bumper triggers (to oil & also linked to that side's weapons)
