There is a BIG difference between using a car that someone else made and using a small part like a motor. The FirstCAD Library is there to use as a resource, and there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with using it. Ed Sparks devotes his time and energy so that we can use what he has made, so why wouldn't you use it? I guess if you want to spend weeks making intricate small parts that came with the kit of parts, go ahead, but I know I'd much rather focus on getting my message across in my animation.
