RR3 Community Server - Complete Game Systems Implementation

🎮 NEW: Full Game Progression System

Based on analysis of the decompiled RR3 APK, I've implemented a comprehensive progression system that mirrors the actual game structure.

✅ What's Been Added

🏎️ Car Ownership & Garage System

• Purchase cars with Gold or Cash
• 5 starter cars across all classes (C, B, A, S, R)
• Car database with manufacturers, performance ratings, pricing
• Garage management - track all owned vehicles
• Full inventory system for player garages

⬆️ Car Upgrade System

• 5 upgrade types: Engine, Tires, Suspension, Brakes, Drivetrain
• Progressive upgrades - increase Performance Rating (PR)
• Cash-based economy for upgrades
• Upgrade tracking per vehicle
• Performance improvements visible immediately

📈 Player Progression & Leveling

• Experience Points (XP) - earn through racing
• Level system - gain levels every 1000 XP
• Level-up rewards - 10 Gold + 5,000 Cash per level
• Reputation system - track player standing
• Currency tracking - Gold, Cash, XP, Reputation

🏁 Career Mode Support

• Career series tracking - organize events by series
• Event completion with star ratings (1-3 stars)
• Best time tracking per event
• Star-based rewards:
  • 10 Gold per star
  • 2,000 Cash per star
  • 100 XP per star
• Progress persistence - resume where you left off
