Day z vehicle help

Alright, I've found a van--the engine is orange. Am I able to drive it without it exploding? Because, I'm assuming when the cars only explode when the engine is red. But this is orange.

Drive it and see?

It won't explode unless you crash.

Fairly sure that orange means it's a bit busted up. Never driven a vehicle with an orange engine myself, but my advice would be to try not to drive into too many things. If it gets red, if you so much as tap a shrub, you'll go up in flames, along with any passengers and gear in the vehicle.

Orange is fine. If it's dark red and you hit something it'll blow up.

Okay thanks guys.

One other question: If I have one car that's saved, then drive a bike and then the server restarts, what will I lose? (I haven't saved the bike)
