Car graphics config

it would be really cool to have a simple single wishbone mesh with vertex groups encompassing each of the 3 "points" on the wishbone, so it could be stretched to the spec in the .car file. the mesh could be in the carparts folder. and we could use it to get a visual model for the suspension (top and bottom arm) on any car that needed it and didn't provide a custom mesh. needs vertex groups which could also help shrink the driver mesh selectively to make him fit in smaller cars.

Defining all those points would actually make it easier to locate your suspension hinges because you're giving it the axes of rotation for the wishbones.

If there are to be models for suspension frames (makes at least as much sense as having visible brake discs), might it make more sense then to actually specify suspension types such as "double wishbone", "macpherson", "leading arm" etc. It also opens the question of implementing linked suspension.
Further, I'd like to rearrange the suspension loading so that it's almost all done in the suspension class itself.

In other news, it would be nice to be able to specify the location of brake discs/drums.
