What version of jquery are you using?
Using this code:
```
```
<html><head><title>Testing</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery/jquery-1.2.6.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".car").each(function() {
        $("#carResults").append($(".car").size());
        $("#carResults").append($(this).text());
    });
});
</script>
</head><body>
<div class="carBig">Big Car</div>
<div class="car">Regular Car</div>
<div id="carResults"></div>
</body></html>
```
```
My output document looked like this:
```
```
Big Car
Regular Car
1Regular Car
```
```
Mine only found 1 element, the one with the class of "car"...
