I believe that is because of the inaccuracy of the Zbuffer. I don't think you can fix it...how big is your car? Maybe if you made it larger, the Zbuffer would have an easier time determining which plains were supposed to be displayed in front of which. What video card do you have?

The GeForce MX is your video card, not your sound card. You can see what video card you have if you right click on the desktop and go to properties. Click on the properties tab. It will be listed above the resolution and depth boxes...

Oops, I forgot to say to click on "settings" first. It is under that tab, above the resolution and depth settings.

Okay, that is a pretty old card, but it should be okay, at least it is not integrated video. Did you scale your objects larger and move the camera further away? This may fix the problem. Find out the unit size of your car and post it.
