Looks nice.
You would probably use bodygryos, CFrame, all that other stuff.
However, there is the issue of part count. It would probably cause a lot of lag with all those parts moving around.

I hate the LGBT. Those laser guided battle tanks are just too damn powerful.

Also I want the user to receive a tool upon sitting in the vehicle seat

How could I make that happen?

When a player sits on a seat, a Weld object is inserted into the seat. I believe the Part0 is the character's Torso.
Use the ChildAdded event and then copy the tool into the character. i.e.

seat.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)
game.ServerStorage.Tool:clone().Parent = child.Part0.Parent
end)
