Ahh yes it most certainly does. Thanks! I should have caught that.
In trying to be quick and dirty for this example I screwed up.

Actually I was just doing it all in the reset to figure out where
I was screwing up. The problem is it appears that I do have to do
some of this in the reset method since initially I was working on
this example using check boxes and I realized I have to reset the
car objects boolean property to false. What's the best way to go
about this? In other words say you are working on an example where
you have objects pretty deeply nested and one of the Lists deeply
nested has objects in it where you need to work with checkboxes
for the boolean properties. Don't I have to end up creating the
whole nested hierarchy all over again just to make sure these
boolean properties are reset to false? What's the best way to
tackle this situation?
Thanks so much for the help so far.
