How to flip over a car?

So I was creating a racing game with a slight twist. Anyways, how would I make it so when the car flips over it just flips right side up. WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR!
For example:

I might have an idea. Should I use a AlignOrientation? How would I make the car only spin on the local forward/backward axis?

Even though this is not helpful at all, I love it nonetheless
Do you have any helpful insights?

first time someone has actually enjoyed my purposefully useless replies

I sorta did something like the second link. Got my car flipping over automatically. Here’s a video.

And here’s some open source code from me.

local function flip()
	FlipLift.Position = Vector3.new(0, 20, 0) + Base.Position
	local newpart = Instance.new("Part", nil)
	newpart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,Base.Orientation.Y-180, 0)
	Flip.CFrame = newpart.CFrame
	newpart:Destroy()
	FlipLift.Enabled = true
	Flip.Enabled = true
	wait(30/flipspeed)
	FlipLift.Enabled = false
	Flip.Enabled = false
end

task.spawn(function () 
	while true do
		task.wait(3)
		local upvector = Base.CFrame.UpVector
		if upvector.Y <= flippedcframethreshold and Base.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Magnitude < flipspeedthreshhold then
			flip()
		end
	end
end)
