SHOULD I STAIN MY WOODEN CAR OR JUST CLEAR COAT IT?

I recently completed a project I have been working on for neary a week, a car hand carved out of a single block of mahogany. The internal combustion engine and everything inside is made from wood, and it runs off of burning wood too!

Now I have a decision that many many other people who have made cars out of wood have had to decide. Should I use wood stain to stain my car or leave it and clear coat it, or should I use both?

Stain the car
Just clear coat it
DO BOTH!!

COMMENTS:
Voted : Just clear coat it
I think the clear coat would keep it more waterproof. Just add some fruity speckles to it.

Voted : Just clear coat it
I would just apply a clear coating. It will allow the features you carved into it be seen to best advantage. Often, applying stain to a wood carving obscures the details. I found this out from my Father who, among other things, did alot of woodwork.
