I get the feeling from this exercise that detail is everything! Not to put
that down in anyway!
Hopefully this weekend (and it will be a busy one), I can get more work done
on the track and get the animated stuff rolling.

I would say that with the detail you put into making the frame and body
the few extra steps to make the tires look realistic would be worth the
effort expended.

Actually you are correct!
At the time I did not know how I wanted to make them look. And I didn't
really know how to go about doing it with _ease_.
