When The Sims 2 Freetime was released, we were given the One Man's Junk Car that Sims could build from scratch. This was a hobby item which allowed Sims to gain the mechanical skill.
The Sim had to work on the car engine and body parts and in the end gained a totally usable car which the Sim could take to have a car alarm installed.
It took a long time to build the car and sometimes whilst working on the engine, the car would backfire and set off black smoke at the Sim. It was well worth it in the end though, to have a totally usable car to get around in.
This car was reintroduced in The Sims 3 Roaring Heights pack which was only available from The Sims 3 Store, albeit it looked a lot different.
This video takes you through a Sim building the One Man's Junk Car in The Sims 2 and as it took a long time for him to build it, I have edited it through. However, you can see that he worked on it through day and night and the seasons!
Cheers!
