If you try to saveVar a vehicle saved in your variable (SavedVars = [Car1]; saveVar "SavedVars"), then Car1 will not be properly "saved", refering to ObjNull if you try to use it in subsequent missions, even if a vehicle with the same vehicle varname exists. To get around this, save the vehicle's varname as a string (SavedVars = [str(Car1)]) and then when you need it just use call compile to "unstring" the varname (_car = call compile (SavedVars select 0);).
