Maria's car

Sometimes I wonder if I use Algodoo too much and that some of my students might think that the world is 2D and time only progresses when clouds are blowing by. I was in the gym the other evening and I noticed that one of my students, Maria, had tried to build a car by sticking two circular things onto a rectangular one.This of course would work in Algodoo but in the real world you need 4 wheels and a proper axle. Actually I'm not being entirely truthful here, I never wonder if I use Algodoo too much.
