	* The "Load Car" routine (accessed via F3 in the main menu) fails to load the CAR*.RES of cars using the Audi car shape (STAUDI.P3S), allegedly due to an out-of-bounds file size~~. Since~~ the program ~~does not~~ use ~~actual~~ graphics data~~, there would be no justification for such restriction~~. It is possible, however, to edit cars with Audi graphics - the user merely has to load another car and employ the "Swap Car" (F9/F10) feature on the main interface.		* The "Load Car" routine (accessed via F3 in the main menu) fails to load the CAR*.RES of cars using the Audi car shape (STAUDI.P3S), allegedly due to an out-of-bounds file size, even though the program doesn't seem to otherwise make use of graphics data.

	* Users of the "Swap Car" keybindings must be wary that pressing F9 (swap to the previous car) with the first (in alphabetical order) CAR*.RES on foreground or F10 (swap to next car) with the last car selected will cause ~~an unhandled segmentation fault, and thus a hard~~ crash.		* Users of the "Swap Car" keybindings must be wary that pressing F9 (swap to the previous car) with the first (in alphabetical order) CAR*.RES on foreground or F10 (swap to next car) with the last car selected will cause the program to crash.
