I would look at this. https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/IntValue  experiment with it, and you can create a system similar to the one you're talking about.

.magnitude uses the good old Pythagorean Theorem to figure out the distance between a two points, your best bet is to use:

local dis = (oldPos-newPos).magnitude

Now what you can do is set the initial distance aka "oldPos" to the current location of the car, wait 0.5 and set newPos to the current location after 0.5 seconds. This gives the distance between two points after 0.5 seconds. You should run this in a loop, and have a seperate variable that holds the overall distance the vehicle has traveled. I suggest sending the distance to the player through a remote event, so a localscript can handle the distance, and put it in an integer, or if you want to be extra cautious, make the client ask for intvalue instead, so no hackers can change it.

Hope this helps.
