It sounds like you're running up against database foreign key constraints: 
your model needs to have those id attributes filled in before you can save 
it. (This is often caught with validations at the rails application layer 
too, with `validates :vehicle_type, presence: true`)

This is one possible approach:

business = Business.first
car = VehicleType.find_by_name("car")

first_vehicle = Vehicle.new
first_vehicle.business = business
first_vehicle.vehicle_type = car
first_vehicle.save

Or another way:

first_vehicle = Vehicle.create do |v|
  v.business = business
  v.vehicle_type = car
end

Or:

first_vehicle = business.vehicles.build(vehicle_type: car)
first_vehicle.save

Or again:

first_vehicle = business.vehicles.create(vehicle_type: car)
