New car ideas.....??

Sure, go ahead and contact the admin, and try to get ahold of the original author. Let them know that it will go into a GPL game, and we'd really like to put the original model and texture into our art repository. If they're OK with others changing their model, and sharing it, then we can use it.

Looking at the screenshot of the model though, I'm thinking it looks like it's kind of high-poly, and might need some editing before it would be really optimal for use in the game. It also looks like it's textured with materials rather than UV so we'll have to redo that too (but it might not be too hard, because Blender will let you bake materials onto a UV texture now).

Also remember we'll have to write the car definition from scratch since this isn't coming from Racer or some other game where it's easy to adapt the physics stuff.

Are you willing to spend some time on this car, yochenhsieh?
