I made a car and i want to print when the car is in the air. I tried making it so when it touches a part, it prints that it touches and if it stops touching, it also prints something but that's not a good way. anybody know a better way? thanks

You can use raycasting, try this:
local Car = script.Parent -- Put this script in the car model.
local PrimaryPart = Car.PrimaryPart -- Set a primarypart of the car.
local Minimum = 10 -- Minimum height to register when the car is in the air.
while wait() do
local Position = PrimaryPart.CFrame.P
local Rotation = PrimaryPart.CFrame - Position
local Ray = Ray.new(Position,Position - Vector3.new(0,Minimum,0)) -- Ray casted down.
local Touch, TouchPosition = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, Car) -- Ignore car.
if Touch then
print("Touching "..Touch.Name.. " at "..TouchPosition)
else
print("In air")
end
end

Thanks, this works, but what if thec ar is in another height?

with your script, if a car is on a baseplate and its on the air it works, but if the car is ontop of another part it already detects that its in the air
the part needs to be directly under the car's primarypart to detect it as on ground
