Let's see... this is what I haven't/rarely seen before, but plan on giving some of these a shot. These are just a few...
- Opening glove box - Adjustable seats - Functional door, trunk, hood locks - Functional windows (up and down) - Workable/running motor w/transmission, etc.  - Functional brakes

Re: What Dont You See On Model Cars
I've seen everything that a real Ferrari has on it, on a model that this one guy took forever to build.
But on common models and stuff, I'd have to say opening doors.

One thing that's always puzzled me is why kit manufacturers don't mold the tyres with a slight bulge in the sidewall at the bottom and a flat spot so it looks like the weight of the car is on them rather than just making them round.

I add seatbelts to all my models, so that's something I see a lot.

Tire stems. Where do you see these at? Also opening trunks with spare tires.

Re: What Dont You See On Model Cars
Funny you should mention that. On the model I'm building at the moment, I'm using wheels from a Nichimo kit that's 20+ years old and amazingly they have valve stems! Look...
