No problem -- but you should be aware that there's rarely a reason to
do this. A vector acts like an array (but safer) so most of the time,
it's perfectly reasonable to just index into it like normal:

vector<CarDef> m_vCards;

for (int i=0; i<m_vCards.size(); ++i)
TRACE("%i \n", m_vCards[i]);

Don't feel obliged to make your life more difficult than necessary
just to make your code seem more "STL-like". :-)
