Yeah, those are incredible models. I downloaded every one (bulk image downloader) to study as I get time. He has much more imagination than I do, I'd have to take drugs to be that original and creative, and who can afford drugs nowdays?
But what I was really asking about is why there are so few people posting car models here on the forums. I guess a big part of the answer is that the shapes involved are just too difficult and time-consuming, and I can understand that.
But possibly an even bigger reason, and one that I hadn't even thought of, is that a lot of you are spending most of your time and effort towards making models for your clients. For some reason it's a little difficult for me to think of using SU as part of your job. I tend to just see everyone here using it for fun, like me. But looking at it in that light, I can understand why investing the amount of time a decent car model can take would be a luxury that probably not many can afford, at least not on a regular basis. As somebody mentioned, it would be difficult to make a living making 3D car models (except for maybe selling them on Cornucopia )
So anyhow I do appreciate all your input. I'll just keep chugging away at my four-wheeled thingamajigs.

there are several websites to sell car models as well as having your own website. although some of them make you give up selling them anywhere else and they are very strict about the content and how it's made. as with the Checkmate system at TurboSquid. http://support.turbosquid.com/entries/20203606
I use SU for work and fun... however my fun consists of modding games and making new things to go in games like rFactor and rFactor 2. I build cars and then drive them in a simulator. http://rfactor.net/web/rf2/ if I could get paid to do that? then I would die a happy man. but I love doing houses too.

Thanks Kris, but actually my comment about selling my cars on Cornucopia was just a joke (somebody stole several of my cars and was selling them on there until I got them pulled). Don't think I would ever sell any of my stuff, that would put a whole new flavor to my efforts, wouldn't be just fun anymore.
Would really like to see some of the cars you've made for rfactor
