Anchor Tags and Style Formatting

Hello! I would like to create the exact same page as the original except for the large car image also being a link to a car start sound. The problem I have with this is the formatting that goes along with the <a> tag. If I want to anchor some images that are big and some are small, but I have to use the same <a> tag for each, it affects the formatting and makes all the images the same size. How can I get around this?

Again, I would like the big car image to also link to a sound, but to remain a bigger size than the other buttons on the page. Thanks!!

You might use a class to style the anchor images differently.

For example, you could create a "full-size" class to give the car a different width (and float setting) than the other links:

index.html 
  <!--Car image -->
  <a href="javascript:revEngine();" class="full-size"><img src="images/car1.png" class="car" alt="car"></a>

  <!--Buttons-->
  <a href="javascript:startCar();"><img src="images/key.png" alt="key"></a>
  <a href="javascript:honkHorn();"><img src="images/steering-wheel.png" alt="steering wheel"></a>
  <a href="javascript:peelOut();"><img src="images/nos.png" alt="nos"></a>
style.css 
/* Links */
a {
  background: transparent;
  border: 0;
  display: block;
  float: left;
  margin: 0;
  outline: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: 33%; 
}
.full-size {
  float: none;
  width: 100%; 
}
