Dear Shahabsy, when & where I'll can see your tutorial? I'm very interested this theme too!=)) Excuse for my English.

You would have to cast ray/s to get the plane of the face underlying the car at any instance then simply move and re-orient the car to the intersection position. Have a look at intersectRay function and there is a howto example script in the maxscript reference that moves an object to a surface. Search "How To ... Move Objects to a Surface" and intersectRay in the maxscript reference.

 Hope this helps,

Mobeen
