CG Cookie just released a new course, where you learn how to rig and animate a monster truck in Blender.
If you want to rig and animate other cars, this knowledge can be applied to any vehicle.
Keep in mind, that this is not a modeling course, so you will start with a ready-made monster truck model, and focus on rigging and animating it.
