Trying to make a bouncing vehicle

Hi Everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I'm trying to create a vehicle that will move like it is bouncing over the ground in relatively high bounces.
I'm not great at scripting and the vehicle physics and rotations, are the biggest challenge I've ever faced.
In most cases I modify a free script to do what I want but I am really stumped with this one.
I started with the "Simple Vehicle script 1.o" which is a basic motorcycle script (sorry i don't have the code to post here).
The best I could do was to make it jump once when the user first presses the control to move forward but then after that it rolls on the ground as normal.

Can someone tell me what flags, and or variables I need to modify to make this work?

thank you.

I'm not really sure if this is possible via script. you could try setting the material of all the prims in the vehicle to rubber, but im not sure if that would work.

Thanks for replying!
I found the answer I was looking for in a different post.
Where Ilsa Munroe was getting the behavior I wanted but didn't want it
So I did the opposite her fix.

thanks again!
