The url is what tells cake what to do. If you "hide" the id you remove
the id and Cake will have not idea what id you want. The url must
contain some kind of unique identifier...but not specifically the
numeric id from the database.
You need to alter your action so it can use the make and model names
to locate the car you want. Look at the footer of your post. The
nabble url does not contain a numeric id but rather a readable name
for the post. This is usually called a slug. Do a search on that word
and you will find a lot of nice stuff like a behaviour to help you out
and Cake classes helping you out with generating unique "names" for
items in your database.
You can either make a full slug for each car or one set of slugs for
makes and one for models... hoping that noone makes two cars of the
same name.
