I've made some more ray-traces of variations of the car featured in the
wallpaper I posted:
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/ray/?n=114
You can see them here:

As you can see, the doors and trunk open.  The interior is fully detailed with
steering wheel, instruments, gear-shifter, door handles, arm rests, and window
cranks (they don't actually move)  The car steers by means of a micromotor and
also has a geared motor driving the rear wheels.  By attaching LEGO wires
underneath the rear bumper and running them to some pole-changing switches and
a battery box, you can create a remote control car...
Please LMKWYT!

(...) One thing, though: I think I'd go the other direction with the stripe. The stripe starting high and going low lends a look to the car that the back is lower than the front (Optical illusion, since the front is the same height as the back) and (...)
