LEGO Truck

This truck was built my my brother. It was partially inspired by a few different trucks in his LEGO books. I figured it would provide some good car building inspiration.
 The rear view mirrors are a 1x2 plate with bar stacked on a clear 1x2 plate. A horizontal clip built into the roof holds them on.
 On the back is a hinge piece to hold on a trailer.
Trunk with a lid for storage on trips.

The axle on the bottom adds detail and stability.
 Close up of the front.
3 1x2 grilles make the front. The headlights are 2 1x1 transparent yellow plates and clear 1x1 slopes.
Hope that gave you some good ideas on building your own car/truck/vehicle.A few valuable pieces for car building are a 4x4 car roof, which is the hood on this truck. Wheels of course are needed, but for extra style, add some mud guard pieces over the wheels. Search your collection for pieces like steering wheels, car doors, windows and other parts you might could use and build your own unique car. Build it however you want, big or small, green, pink, blue, multicolored, striped, with whatever pieces you have. The point of LEGO pieces is to be creative with them, so go out there and build something!
