I'm trying to create two car objects, that move across the frame, in opposite directions, at different heights so they don't collide. This type of programming is new to me, and after following the only example I'm provided with, I still can't get this to work. All the code I wrote for the 3 individual classes is provided.

* Constructs a car with given top-left corner.
* @param a the x-coordinate of the top-left corner
* @param b the y coordinate of the top-left corner
*/
public Car(int a, int b)
{
aLeft = a;
bTop = b;
}

public void draw(Graphics2D g2)
{
Rectangle body
= new Rectangle(aLeft, bTop + 10, 60, 10);
