Really? URL! I'd love to get an accurate 3D model of my car. Actually, what'd be great is if I could make changes to the model and upload it to a server somewhere for processing and receive stats back from that (a few images and a CdA). I still have yet to get my head around OpenFOAM and when I do, where do I get an accurate model from?
