Is that a bad thing?  Why reinvent the wheel?  Reusing existing objects
(usually with modification) is at least somewhat common practice for CG
artists, and, IMHO, is just plain smart.

By not wasting time modeling cars that somebody else had already modeled, he
was able to focus much more attention on other aspects of the scene
(textures, lighting, and the overall composition).
