I threw this together and tried it out. I notice that as you’re driving, if you need to make some minor steering input change like while going down a straight, the car will wander from side to side as if it’s resisting to go in a straight line.

That is odd, must be Herby, Would you like a furr refund.
I’ll look into it.
Thanks for the feedback, awesome!

Here is a complete overhaul. It might be to your liking.
It is the best I could do with the brain damage.
