Also, Southwest wifi is a waste of $8. It's too slow and I can't even stream Netflix. I tried Crackle so I could get some Seinfeld or Dilbert, but Crackle is also disallowed.

It's been known that most of the best looking cars ever penned were rush jobs. So don't spend too much time on it!

If I'm ever playing with a car design from scratch (no sketches or drawings to model against,) I will sometimes download a free car model and use that car as a proportional reference for my design.

It can give you a loose guide to how high headlights need to be, and how large a greenhouse/cabin should be to fit occupants. Just use it as a loose shape to reference your design around.

Just an idea. It's worked for me in the past if I ever want to bang out some ideas quickly without setting up realistic measurements dimensions for a car.

Here I was playing with an exaggerated Corvette body. The greenhouse, wheelbase and track are all very similar to a C6 Vette model I downloaded which saved me a ton of time messing with proportions.

Happy designing!

They will happily refund your $8 if you complain about the speed(last time I flew SW I spent the $8 and got a total of about 4 web pages to actually load during the duration of the 1.5 hour flight). I couldn't even get it to send the complaint email, I had to wait until I was on the ground.

Most airline in-flight wi-fi systems actually say they block streaming in small print.

I dont think you can get any wifi capable of streaming on any airline. Except maybe streaming music.
