Alright this Lotus Elise was my first attempt to hone my skills. Being a noob at the time, I made an awful lot of mistakes that you will probably be able to find, but learned a lot on advanced tools and constraints in the process, so it paid off well. It includes an engine complete with a 4 cylindar inline engine that i made (i dont think you can really see it) complete with pistons that i animated eventually, as well as a full interior with a dash, speedometer, steering wheel, emergency break, as well as disc breaks, half a suspension system, an exhaust system leading from the engine, and an animateable chassi.

the several mistakes in it include the size of the axis (i didnt know about adaptivity or assembly drawn parts yet), slight incongruence when doing the curved hood, and i kind of did it all with vague references of size i found on the internet so it came out slightly more elongated than the real car. Fortunately i ran into one at a car show the other day, mouth watering, and i was telling the guy stuff he didnt even know about it.
