That is indeed what I was trying to figure out. Got almost there myself.
I'm wondering about your constructor?
<!--- "constructor" --->
<cffunction name="init">
<cfset variables.engine = createobject("component", "Engine")>
</cffunction>
I was under the impression that CFC did not have a true "constructor", but
rather a psudo-constructor in that code between the <cfcomponent> tag and
the first <cffunction> tab would be run once when the component is used. Is
this correct, or is there something special about a function named "init"?

I'm guessing what you mean is something like this:
<cfcomponent name="Car">
<!--- "constructor" --->
<cffunction name="init">
<cfset variables.engine = createobject("component", "Engine")>
</cffunction>
<!--- a function which calls something from the engine --->
<cffunction name="checkOil">
<cfreturn variables.engine.getOilLevel()>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
