Wha? I don't understand that. Every time you change your "car"? Overlay? You mean underlay?

verb/Aura_on()
set category = "Change"
var/aura = 'ssjaura.dmi'
icon_state = "ssjaura"
usr.underlays += aura
verb/Aura_off()
set category = "Change"
usr.underlays=0

Let me look at this.
"usr.underlays.Add(icon('ssjaura'))" will do.
I suggest you use src rather than usr. (Beat ya Lummox)
"usr.underlays=0"
Use "usr.underlays.Cut()".

*sigh*

verb/Aura_on()
set category = "Change"
icon_state = "ssjaura"
underlays.Add(icon('ssjaura.dmi'))
verb/Aura_off()
set category = "Change"
icon_state = "normal"
underlays.Cut()

You forgot to remove the var/aura line.
You also forgot to reset the icon_state for the mob then Aura_off() is called.

Use that code up there changing "normal" to whatever your icon_state is before you turn the aura on.

You are an aura like before? You mean the aura doesn't go away?

Oy, you don't have an icon_state named "normal", remember when I said "Use that code up there changing "normal" to whatever your icon_state is before you turn the aura on."?

Change "normal" to the mob's normal icon_state.

If it's fixed, (doesn't change other than "ssjaura") you mine as well use icon_state=initial(icon_state).
