I'm just starting to build 6 and 8 wide cars and trucks
(robots and spaceships are more of my staple), and while I think those are
pretty good widths relative to minfig width, I find that the vehicles end up
looking ridiculous on my road plate. Has anyone found a way to correct this
problem?  I figure you either ignore the lines and consider the plate to be a
one-way street or you build your own road.
