While I don't know of any car rigs downloadable online, I can give this image...

Just a word of warning to those with slower systems... Even though the file is 585 kilobytes big, it's got 101 frames to this .gif file... It's also 640x480 in dimensions. If you have had trouble with long-playing .gif files slowing down your browser/system, I advise you not even bother trying to view the file, rather, just save target as, and load the file up into after effects or something of the sort.

*edit*

dummy coloration goes as follows: rotation dummies : teal ... height/orientation dummies : yellow ... secondary rotation dummies : green.

Optimally you'd have two dummies in the center of the vehicle, so not only can you roll the car side to side, but you'd also be able to pitch it back and forth, for acceleration/deceleration

The rotation dummy apparently in front of the steering wheel is actually for the hood of the car, and the dummies that appear to have no point are the doors. The rotation dummy in the middle is for the turning roll and the suspension bumps. This is the dummy that should actually use two, not the one that I've got here
