SVG side pictures

A wish: any chances to see a tool that reads a Stunts car files, and produces a side view as an SVG image?

That can be done I think, cas his CarWorks does it in a sense.

But why not extend it to a browser that can show cars and tracks like you normally browse images.
(And the possibility to save/export the image)
Each of the 4 car files could be associated with a view type (front, side, dashboard and perspective).

I was thinking in that line. But the other way around.

Like building contractors do here.
If can't get a building permit from the government, extend your plan with one floor, and sell that to the government.
You automatically get a permit...

I really crave for a visual browser for cars and tracks ..

Well, it looks that SVG is really simple, so it should be no problem to do that. If seen from the side, wheels are just circles. Very simple
