how does a car move forward when the wheels are spinning?

if you have a front wheel drive, or a rear wheel drive, and you jack your car up. You take one of the wheels and spin it, the other one will spin in the same direction, perspectively. like if you spin one wheel to the right, the other one will also spin to the right. However, if you spin one forward, the other one will spin backward. If that happes, how do the engine, and the transmission make the car go forward?

Nailing it & it's not even. How to make Pinewood derby car wheels even?

One of the little wheels on the car doesn't touch the track.
Should I take a toothpick & clean out the slot, assuming there is paint affecting the pushing in of the wheel nail?
Or maybe just add weights until the wheel touches the ground?
Should I use Super Glue to keep the wheel in permanently?
This is the boy's first pinewood derby & car so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Do most new cars that have front wheel drive use one or two wheels to move the car?

I have a 2010 Mazda3 and was wondering if both wheels are propelling the car. I have heard that some front wheel drive cars only have 1 wheel moving it.

Will having 0.25″ wheel spacer plates on my car’s wheels improve traction since of the wider stance?

I have 4 0.25" wheel spacer plates (not the one that extends the studs) on my car right now (1 on each wheel) and my wheels look wider and the edge of the tire is is lined up to the fender. Did this give me an improvement in traction. Thanks for your answers.

Does anyone know how or where I can fix the wheels on a toy car?

A many years ago, I was given that "Gorilla Attack" hot wheels set. I especially liked the car, but after my brother bent the wheel it became useless. And, I also realized it was the same (Lexus) car used in the minority report movie.

My front car wheels are squeaking when drive over 25 mph just replaced brakes.?

My car front wheels squeak when i go over 25mph like a hampster wheel kind of. I just had brand new pads put in, which were really low. But the squeaking is still present.

How can I make my Car’s Wheels look better?

Hello everyone!

I own an old Corolla that has no rims and no nothing. The wheels pretty much look like this one except the inside is all black (http://img184.imageshack.us/i/foxsa9.jpg/).

Is there any cheap way to cover that up? I don't really want to spend 200 bucks on rims.
are the chrome wheel covers 15-20 each or all 4 of them?
